Trump's EO to federal workers is having libs freak out

President Donald J. Trump issued a new directive to federal workers, which shows the man is serious about reducing the federal workforce by that 10 percent figure. He ordered federal workers to nix their pronoun games from their emails. No more of this he/she/ze/they nonsense. Trump already caused an uproar among this coddled workforce when he ordered them back to office work. He offered them a lofty severance package of 7-9 months pay if they wished to quit, though they must decide next week.

Common sense is back. America is back. And Donald J. Trump is back. The woke cancer that’s infested the federal government is slowly being excised, with the president issuing a new order to federal workers: delete that pronoun garbage from their email signatures by close of business today (via ABC News):

Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News that cited two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office seeking to curb diversity and equity programs in the federal government.

"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 such message sent Friday morning from Jason Bonander, the CDC's Chief Information Officer. "Staff are being asked to alter signature blocks by 5.p.m. ET today (Friday, January 31, 2025) to follow the revised policy."

Employees were instructed to remove pronouns from everything from government grant applications to email signatures across the department, sources told ABC News.

Employees at the Department of Energy who received a similar notice Thursday were told this was to meet requirements in Trump's executive order calling for the removal of DEI "language in Federal discourse, communications and publications."

"In my decade-plus years at CDC I've never been told what I can and can't put in my email signature," said one recipient, who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution.

A memo issued Wednesday by the Office of Personnel Management also directed agencies to "Review agency email systems such as Outlook and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns."

Crying over an email signature—I’m telling you I feel like everyone in that disgusting swamp needs a whack of the belt.

Pete Buttigieg did it and doesn’t even work for the government anymore.

National MS Society fires 90-year-old for asking about pronouns: has to walk it back

Fran Itkoff: what's not to love about this woman?

Fran Itkoff, a sweet 90-year-old woman was forced to step down from her volunteer position, a position she held for 60 years, after she asked for clarification about the use of pronouns. Seriously.

Ms. Itkoff had led the Lakewood/Long Beach Self-Help Group that is affiliated with the National MS Society but was kicked out after her “failure to abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines.” I'm not kidding.

'Unfortunately, based on the situation, we have made the difficult decision to have you step down from your volunteer position, effective immediately,' the email reads.

This gentle woman who obviously cares deeply about people and won many awards for her and her late husband's work with the organization, didn't understand after she saw others in her group sign their emails and letters with their names and their chosen pronouns.

“I was confused, I didn’t know what it was, what it meant,” Itkoff told the social media account Libs of TikTok. “I’ve seen it on a couple of letters that had come in after the person’s name they had the pronouns, but I didn’t know what that meant.”

C'mon, the woman is 90 and probably spends little, if any time on the internet.

Ms. Itkoff was left stunned and confused when she was fired on January 19 following an exchange with a colleague who asked her to use her pronouns in email signatures.

The non-profit doubled down on its decision, saying it acted with the 'best of intentions' despite a tidal wave of angry backlash where supporters threatened to withhold their funds--and that is key.

On Wednesday, the organization announced it was rolling back on its stance, admitting it 'fell short' and offering a groveling apology to Itkoff because they value money more than life itself.

Here's the letter the MS dolts sent her after she went public on Libs of TikTok and exposed the organization leaders for who they are:

Grovel much?

There is nothing more detrimental to organizational competency than DEI, from Boeing aircraft door makers, to US vice presidents, to doctors, professors, and so on. DEI limits choice and that inhibits quality and excellence.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Morons say in the letter that they acted with "the best intentions." How is that so? How is firing a volunteer who has given you 60 years of service even after the loss of her husband who also volunteered his time, a freaking best intention?

"We realize now that we made a mistake, and we should have had more conversations with Fran before making this decision," the letter states [and I hope you will read it in its entirety]. They even say that it really isn't so much about the best intentions, but more about the "lack of protocol" that was the real problem.

No, you don't need to have more conversations with Fran, you need to learn from her.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a tool being used by Marxists who see everything in terms of oppressors versus the oppressed, and that is not healthy for any society. In fact, it has led to open and acceptable racism and anti-Semitism.

It's unclear if Ms. Itkoff will rejoin the organization, but I hope she doesn't and I hope she creates a boatload of followers in her wake.

HHS pronoun mandate [aka pronoun persondate] forces employees to 'deny reality,' violates law: legal eagle

Protecting our ships at sea

A new gender pronoun mandate has been instituted by the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) that requires employees to deny reality and validate the leadership's mental illness. A Heritage Foundation expert who is also a former HHS employee says the mandate violates employee rights and will result in terminations for so called "misgendering."

[H/T Fox News Digital]

"HHS and the federal government is requiring its employees to speak falsehoods," Roger Severino, the Heritage Foundation’s vice president for domestic policy and the former head of civil rights at HHS during the Trump administration, told Fox News Digital. By 'falsehoods,' Severino means outright lies and he initially broke the story on X last week. 

He said that HHS "imposed a transgender pronoun mandate on its employees who will now be forced to deny biological realities with their own words or face firing" and he included a screenshot of an email sent to employees at the department.

Severino told the outlet that the First Amendment protects federal employees from being required to speak falsehoods, being compelled to adopt a state-approved ideology, and requiring people to deny their own faith.

"These policies would require all of those things," said Harvard Law School graduate Severino.

"All employees should be addressed [by] the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves," the email to HHS employees stated as part of its push for "Gender Identity and Non-Discrimination Guidance" that it says protects "employee rights and protections related to gender identity." 

For example, even though Rachel Levine isn't a real Admiral [rear or otherwise] he gets to call himself a woman, wear dresses, training bras, pearls, sensible shoes, and deny biology. If you refuse to refer to him as her, or she, or whatever pronouns he wants you to call him, you're fired faster than Rashida Tlaib can shout an anti-Semitic slogan.

Severino said the policy pressure started with two White House executive orders in January 2021 and June 2022. They were framed to combat "gender discrimination" on the base of "gender identity."

"All applicants and employees should be addressed by the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves. Using correct names and pronouns helps foster workplaces free of discrimination and harassment," the U.S. Office of Personnel Management guidance states. So taken to an extreme, if a female applicant wanted to be addressed as "King Henry," for example, others must address her as such. If, say, a male applicant wanted to be called "Superslut Mary," well that's his prerogative. 

"This practice also creates an inclusive work environment where all applicants and employees are treated with dignity. The isolated and inadvertent use of an incorrect name or pronoun will generally not constitute unlawful harassment, but, as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has explained, continued intentional use of an incorrect name or pronoun (or both) could, in certain circumstances, contribute to an unlawful hostile work environment."

The lunatics have taken over the asylum. 

In an unlisted YouTube video linked in the email to HHS employees last week that features Assistant HHS Secretary and Rear Admiral Rachel Levine, who thinks he's a woman, says "who you know yourself to be is valid."

With that rationale, if a person with a severe mental disorder believes him or herself to be a flower, it should be perfectly reasonable to water him or her several times a week. How you do the watering is open to your creative thinking.

Severino explained to Fox News Digital that the "Orwellian" policy means that "misgendering" someone would qualify as violating anti-discrimination law which "gets you fired."

The video also states that employees "can wear clothing" and "use restrooms" based on what gender they identify as regardless of the genitals and chromosomes.

"Men who identify as female have the right to get naked in front of female colleagues in the locker room," Severino said about how this rule relates to HHS locker rooms and bathrooms. Let's not forget how Lia Thomas, a dude who says he's a woman, got sexually aroused in the woman's locker room at swim meets in which he beat actual women.

"It used to be that if you allowed a man to get naked in front of a woman in the workplace that is instantly a violation of civil rights law," Severino said. "That's the quintessential hostile work environment, subjecting women to that. Now, the policy says to the women who may be uncomfortable with that situation, they're the ones who have to leave."

Severino, who said it was "breathtaking" the Biden administration would unveil this policy, said that there are "strong arguments" that employees have legal recourse against policies like this and can "exercise their rights." And hopefully they will by bringing these anti-free speech cretins to court.

"Governments cannot compel speech and certainly cannot compel false speech," Severino said, citing West Virginia vs. Barnette in which even though children being told to say the pledge of allegiance during World War II was a good thing, the Supreme Court ruled that parents and students have a right to dissent from that view. 

Some of those students are now teaching today's students how America is the problem while they support the terrorists.

"We protect the right of political dissent and here it's a pledge of allegiance to the Rainbow flag that's been essentially required," Severino said.

Severino also said that employees have a "right to their faith" and "your boss cannot force you to deny your faith as a condition of working there." 

Tell that to the judge, because it's going to go that far.

Penn moms blasts education dept suggesting kids use bizarre pronouns

The Pennsylvania state department of education's [an oxymoron if ever there was one] new gender identity page says that "teachers" shouldn't assume a student's pronouns. The website listed "ne, ve, ze/zie and xe" as some examples of their insanity and total disregard for the English language.

"In addition to the traditional [read: grammatical] pronouns (he/him, she/her, they), some [gender dysphoric] people prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns [they were taught to use], such as ne, ve, ze/zie and xe. If you don't know a student's preferred personal pronoun, it's always best to ask," the Pennsylvania DOE said.

My preferred personal pronoun is "Your Majesty."

"This is grooming of our children," said Veronica Gemma, a parent and chair at the PA Economic Growth PAC. "[W]hen it comes to sexuality, whatever they identify as, that's their personal business. And it's not academics. It doesn't belong in the classroom."

"They need to focus on the terrible reading scores in this state, the terrible math scores in this state… [Instead,] they're focused on indoctrinating this next generation to change the fabric of our country," she added.

The website also claimed the concept of two genders, male and female, was a "faulty concept," because they are all biologists. Wait, no they're not. And even if they were, they'd be lying.

"As a Pennsylvania parent, I’d like to know what qualifies them to call the concept of biological gender as faulty?" said a mother named Megan Eileen, as reported by Fox News Digital.

"As a mom, my children know who they are and they were created in God's image. So God created a man and a woman and that's it. There's only two genders," said Gemma.

"Why do they feel that it’s appropriate to teach this to a third-grader? It’s not appropriate. So many children in Pennsylvania are struggling with grade competencies, particularly after the long COVID-19 mitigation disruptions," Eileen said.

Leftists who agree with the gender ideology indoctrination in schools claim that it helps maintain tolerance and an accepting environment for LGBTQ+BLAHBLAHBLAH youth, [aka the new cool victims with special privileges regular kids don't have].

According to the Trevor Project, an organization that advocates for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals, "[O]ne in three transgender youth reported attempting suicide, almost one-third reported being a victim of sexual violence, and more than half reported a two-week period of depression."

One of the web pages included an article written by an activist, who said, "A gender-diverse child’s best predictor of success is whether that child receives support at home and from teachers."

What they don't say is that children are often confused about their gender and well over 80 percent who are, grow out of it. What they also don't say is that kids are being taught to be "gender diverse." The epidemic of these impressionable, easily malleable kids is a new phenomenon being taught by their teachers. It's criminal but has the blessings of the left.

Republican. state Rep. Barbara Gleim said, "I think that a lot of this is coming down from the Biden administration through his executive orders."

"I'm not anti-trans, but these discussions have a time and a place. And I don't think that elementary school and middle school are the time or the place for these discussions," she added.

Kara Kowalski from York, Pennsylvania, said, "I'm not a parent, but I have three nieces who are young. They're eight, six and three. And I pretty much spend every day and every second that I can with them. I'm gay myself. But I don't align with all of this."

That's because gay is not a mental disorder. Attempting to eradicate a child's self-identity to conform with the latest gender identity movement is a mental disorder.

Fox News Digital spoke with the writer of "The Abolition of Sex," Kara Dansky, a feminist who has been a vocal voice against the gender identity movement.

"I think that what we're seeing is a vicious combination of woman hatred and greed," she said. "I absolutely think that our society should be accepting of people who do not wish to conform to sex stereotypes. That's a good thing. We have been saying for decades that women especially, ought to be able to transcend sex stereotypes. And we should champion and accept that," she said.

"But that's very different for a school or an education department trying to persuade children that they actually are the opposite sex," she added. "That's extremely dangerous."

And a mental disorder with seriously damaging outcomes on children who decide to have their breasts or penises mutilated to conform to their current confusion.

"It may seem unrelated, but these efforts to use different kinds of pronouns are deliberately designed to make us dissociate our minds from the material reality of biological sex," Dansky said. "It may seem like just a nice thing to do to refer to someone using their ‘preferred pronouns,' but the problem with it is it desensitizes us. And… it dissociates our minds from the material reality of sex."

It's good that adults are finally standing up against this gender propaganda.

Please feel free to comment about your thoughts on the matter.

Americans almost done with gender dysphoria fanatics: poll

Enough is enough and too much is plenty. 

A growing number of Americans say the country has gone too far in accepting the transgender identities of the LGBTQ+1~LSMFT+57VARIETIES. In fact, a majority of the gender dysphoric individuals who fall into one of the alphabet categories they've created, have no idea what the letters represent. Nobody does.

Fully one-third of Americans say society has gone too far in accepting transgender identities, while 35% believe the country hasn't gone far enough to end discrimination against gender dysphoric people. Just what they want us to do is unclear, but on a personal note, if I were in the marriage market, I'd go cis gender all the way. I'm funny that way.

Another 25% say that the country has reached a reasonable balance in how it deals with transgender people, according to the results of an NBC News poll released Sunday. We've even made one a Navy Admiral and it's rumored Michele Obama is a transgender man, but I don't believe that completely.

While more leftists think there is still more work to be done to end discrimination, the two percentage point lead represents a 10 point drop since NBC news last asked the question almost a year ago and is within the poll's 3.10% margin of error. The August 2021 survey found 26% of Americans said we've gone too far, and now it has significantly increased, while 38% that year said that more needed to be done to end discrimination.

Perhaps Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Paramount, and the movie industry in general have finally done enough to include at least one transgender individual or same-sex couple going at it on screen.

The recent poll surveyed 1,000 adults between May 5-7 and 9-10.

There has been a concern that transgender policies have started to play a disproportional role in decision-making, much like Biden declaring he would appoint a black woman to the US Supreme Court, as opposed to someone most qualified [which is not to say a black woman isn't qualified, but when you limit the field, you appear more like an affirmative action employer than a thoughtful person]. 

More than two dozen House Republicans sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security in April arguing its newly unveiled transgender policy was "ideologically driven" and could pose a threat to national security.

The current data comes at a time when parents have been significantly more concerned about transgender policies in their children's woke school districts, including one Oklahoma school district that raised alarms after parents found out their female students were being forced to share bathrooms with a biologically male transgender student, who is therefore a boy, whether he knows it or not.

More recently, three young boys in Wisconsin are facing charges of sexual harassment after wrongly using the correct pronoun to address a fellow student who wants to be called "they" and "them," which is ungrammatical, illogical and bizarre. 

The kids thought that it was a joke because it's so damn stupid.

They/Them is upset 3 boys didn't use They's pronouns and district suing the boys: confused yet?

Rosemary Rabidoux

A Wisconsin "school" district filed sexual harassment complaints against 3 normal middle schooler boys for refusing to call a person whose pronoun is Them and They and thereby go against the use of proper English grammar of sanity.

The school district in Kiel charged 3 eighth grade children at the Middle School with sexual harassment after an April incident in which the children refused to use the plural "they" when referring to a classmate who is clearly singular but demanded to be called "they" a month prior to the alleged incident, according to reports.

“I received a phone call from the principal …forewarning me, letting me know that I was going to be receiving an email with sexual harassment allegations against my son,” said Rosemary Rabidoux, whose 13-year-old son Braden, whose pronouns are he and him, is one of the students charged with sexual harassment of they. 

“I immediately went into shock,” she continued in an interview with FOX 11. “I’m thinking sexual harassment? That’s rape, that’s inappropriate touching, that’s incest. What has my son done?”The sexual assault charges were filed by the school district in Kiel, Wisconsin — a town of 3,600.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty is defending the accused normal students, and claims that misuse of pronouns is not covered by Title IX, the US Education Department’s statute that protects people from discrimination based on sex in education.

“Title IX sexual harassment typically covers things like rape, dating violence, quid pro quo sexual favors — really egregious stuff,” WILL’s deputy counsel Luke Berg told the network. “There’s nothing even remotely close to that alleged in this case.”

Since when has this pronoun garbage become a national issue? Is everyone a sheep to this garbage? Why are we going along with the Left who want to dismantle everything in our modern society?

Brad Ebert, the school district's superintendent, whose preferred pronouns are: she-he-it, to be combined as one pronoun and spoken at a fast cadence, told the media that they do not comment on student matters, to which the media said that it wasn't asking for "they" to comment, but for the district to do so.
