No more xe, zir, ziehir, thon, or thonself?
Federal workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Transportation have been informed they must remove any and all of the dozens of woke gender-signaling pronouns and other irrelevant information from their signature lines by 5 p.m. Friday, to be in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive orders that reverse the gender ideology obsession of the former Biden Administration.
“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,” the CDC memo stated.
One of Trump’s earliest executive orders was to state that it is the policy of the United States that there are two biological sexes — male and female.
Of course, those workers who don’t want to remove their woke pronouns can also quit. The president is offering federal workers eight months of severance pay if they will leave voluntarily.
At the Department of Transportation, a very specific memo from DOT Secretary Sean Duffy was issued, which said he had authorized a series of actions advancing Trump’s agenda to rescind woke policies, roll back burdensome and costly regulations, restore economic growth, and ensure agency policies align with the Administration’s priorities.
“These actions deliver on the President’s commitment to rescind harmful policies enacted under the Biden-Harris Administration and reaffirm USDOT’s focus on safety, efficiency, economic prosperity, and regulatory reform,” the statement said. It continued:
“The Secretary signed the ‘Woke Rescission’ Memorandum, directing Secretarial Officers and Heads of Operating Administrations to identify and eliminate all Biden-era programs, policies, activities, rules, and orders that promote climate change activism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, racial equity, gender identity policies, environmental justice, and other partisan objectives. This action aligns with several of President Trump’s executive orders, including Order 14148 Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions and Order 14151 Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing.”

Duffy signed an order ensuring that all USDOT policies, grants, loans, and actions are based on sound economic principles, positive cost-benefit analyses, and pro-economic growth priorities. This order aligns USDOT operations with the President’s agenda to support economic development and strengthen American families by focusing on real, measurable benefits rather than ideological considerations.

Duffy also approved submission of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to rescind the Biden-Harris Administration’s rule requiring state transportation departments to measure and establish declining targets for carbon dioxide emissions on federally supported highways.
“This rule had been rescinded during the first Trump Administration, only to be reinstated by the Biden Administration and later two federal judges ruled USDOT lacked authority to issue the rule. The rescission reflects the Administration’s commitment to unleashing American energy and eliminating unlawful regulatory burdens,” the department said.
“These actions mark a significant shift in USDOT’s approach to regulation, economic policy, and government oversight. By eliminating harmful and restrictive regulations and prioritizing economic growth, DOT is fully aligned with President Trump’s mission to return to merit-based opportunities, restore efficiency, and ensure economic prosperity for the American people,” it continued.
HALLELUJA.
If Trump’s memo sounds petty or stupid, think again. Without resistance and pushback, these childish woke directives would leach ever-deeper into the culture. If the Democrats dare to cry “Freedom of speech!”, which they are sure to do, their memory is convenient, for they were trying to deny it themselves to the grown-ups. Communication is meant to be clear, concise and unmistakable. Inefficiency costs us taxpayers. Trying to reinvent a language is absurd.
I’m indifferent to this one. I like the idea of being able to spot unhinged leftists that easily.
But the pronoun crazy was 6 kinds of stupid.
