Federal websites down as agencies implement executive order 'defending women'
Briefly

This week, the Trump administration directed federal agencies to erase references to 'gender ideology' from their websites, claiming it aims to protect women. A memo outlined that agencies had to comply by a specific deadline, resulting in key data, including CDC's HIV surveillance and Census Bureau's sexual orientation information, being taken down. Opponents of this directive contend that the term 'gender ideology' mischaracterizes transgender identities as mere belief systems, while supporters claim it addresses a growing ideological extremism against women's rights.
