Removing protections for trans students, a proposed trans military ban, and now prohibiting the CDC from using the word “transgender.” We see this for what it is, a dangerous pattern, and a hateful targeted erasure of trans people- and as Americans we will not stand for it.
The Trump administration is prohibiting CDC officials from using these words or phrases in any official documents being prepared for next year’s budget:
“vulnerable”
“entitlement”
“diversity”
“transgender”
“fetus”
“evidence-based”
“science-based”
