President Trump has signed an executive order banning pronouns in email signatures. Federal employees at all agencies must remove pronouns from their email signatures by the end of day today, Jan. 31.
Federal employees are instructed to remove pronouns from everything from government grant applications to email signatures across the department, sources told ABC News.
“Pronouns and any other information not permitted in the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5 p.m. ET on Friday,” according to one internal memo obtained by ABC News. “Staff are being asked to alter signature blocks by 5.p.m. ET today (Friday, January 31, 2025) to follow the revised policy.”
Federal employees with the Department of Transportation (DOT) received a similar memo on Thursday, while they are still investigating the deadly plane crash at Reagan Washington National Airport.
Trump supporters expressed concern that the president is targeting transgender people rather than bringing down grocery prices.
One X user wrote: “I voted for President Trump twice, but this isn’t helping bring down egg prices or make gas more affordable.”
Another user wrote: “Wow, this is a huge step back for inclusivity and respect.”
A third person wrote: “So that’s the secret plan to lower egg prices?”
