CNN – Some of the public health websites that the US government was ordered to restore involving gender and gender identity now carry a warning denying the existence of transgender people. [In fact, it says nothing of the sort; the actual language appears below. – EDITOR.]
The warnings use some of the same language as an Executive Order that President Donald Trump signed January 20 on “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
The order states that it is the policy of the United States to “recognize two sexes, male and female” and instructs agencies to remove all statements that say otherwise.
On Tuesday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore certain government public health webpages and datasets, which agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had taken down, to their versions as of January 30.
It’s not clear whether the warning now posted on the government sites would be considered a violation of the order.
The warning tells the public that the information they’re looking at had to be restored due to a court order but that “any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female.”
The warning, set off in a blue box, on an FDA page concerning the study of sex differences in the clinical evaluation of medical products goes on to say,
“The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it.”
The warning also appeared on a page headlined “Diversity Action Plans to Improve Enrollment of Participants from Underrepresented Populations in Clinical Studies,” on popular CDC databases called the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System and on a database called the Social Vulnerability Index …
