US federal workers told to remove pronouns from email signatures – media
Employees at US federal agencies have been ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures, according to internal memos obtained by several media outlets. The directive reportedly cites two presidential executive orders seeking to curb diversity and equity programs across the government.
On his first day back in office, US President Donald Trump repealed 78 executive orders signed by his predecessor, Joe Biden. They included several measures to protect transgender rights and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The orders also set a 60-day timeframe for federal agencies and departments to cease DEI-related practices.
The memos on removing pronouns from signatures reportedly set Friday afternoon as the deadline.
“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,” ABC News cited one such message as saying. It was sent to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employees on Friday morning.
The outlet reported that a similar notice urging the removal of DEI “language in Federal discourse, communications, and publications” had been received by federal employees with the Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation on Thursday.
Several federal government agency websites, including the Federal Aviation Administration and the Census Bureau, temporarily went down on Friday, according to The Guardian. Some pages displayed as blank before reappearing later that day. The British newspaper noted that the Bureau of Prisons had renamed a webpage called “inmate gender” to “inmate sex” and stopped displaying a list of trans inmates.
Donald Trump declared in his inaugural address on January 1 that the US would officially recognize only two genders. ‘Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’, one of the orders signed by the president later that day, states that “there are only two genders, male and female,” and orders agencies to update official documents such as passports and visas in accordingly.
There needs to be a thorough investigation into the gender-bender industry with prosecutions of those who recommended and performed surgeries on children. The insanity won't go away until it is proven to be the evil that it is.

Violence against females in UK increasing – watchdog
Attempts by the UK authorities to address the issue of violence against women and girls (VAWG) have been ineffective, according to a recent report by the country’s public spending watchdog.
The Home Office failed to lead “an effective whole-system response” to the “serious and growing problem” of rape and sexual assault recorded by police, the document released by the National Audit Office (NAO) on Friday said.
The report, which reviews the government’s 2021 strategy to address VAWG, concludes that efforts have neither assisted victims nor achieved long-term societal change.
“Over one in four women are estimated to be victims of sexual assault or attempted assault in their lifetime, and one in 12 women are victims of VAWG each year, although the actual number is likely to be much higher,” the watchdog stated.
The review found that UK government departments responsible for addressing violence against women lacked proper control over the allocation of funds and clear oversight of policy effectiveness.
The report noted that the Home Office allocated £57 million ($70.6 million) in 2024-25 to tackle VAWG, including domestic abuse. It stressed that 13 departments and other government agencies are officially committed to dealing with the challenges under the VAWG Strategy and the Domestic Abuse Plan.
The government launched both programs in 2021 and 2022, respectively, in response to multiple high-profile cases of women and girls who tragically died at the hands of abusers.
The NAO report highlighted that a ministerial oversight group responsible for cross-government work for effective adoption of the strategies “only met four times in three years.”
The prevalence of sexual assault against women aged 16 to 59 in England and Wales rose to 4.3% in 2023-24, up from 3.4% in 2009-10, according to the report. It added that police-recorded incidents of rape and sexual assault against women and girls surged from 34,000 to 123,000 in the same period. The NAO acknowledged that the increase could be partly attributed to improved crime recording.
A Home Office spokesperson told Sky News that the NAO report looked at the “previous government’s work” and its “failure to deliver systemic change to deal with these devastating crimes.”
“We are delivering a step-change in the government’s response, as we work to deliver our unprecedented manifesto commitment to halve violence against women and girls in a decade,” the official said.
Slowing down the increase would be a good start, but you are not close to that. One of the issues is the refusal to deal with the root causes such as the reason Pakistani men feel justified in raping young British girls. Also, the reason why Nordic countries are the worst in Europe for spousal abuse. Nordic countries are further left than any countries in the world, except Canada and New Zealand. This is called the Nordic Paradox, and nobody wants to deal with either of these issues.
