‘Everybody is transgender’ says Donald Trump in latest bizarre press conference
Apparently everything and everybody, is transgender - at least that's what Trump said in his latest bizarre press conference. It's news to usSophie Perry (PinkNews | Latest lesbian, gay, bi and trans news | LGBTQ+ news)
“When Trump mandated a return to work, it was thought that this was a pretext to demoralize workers by taking away benefits and flexibility, perhaps in the hope that it would lead to resignations. But the quality of the office experience itself may be adding to that.” 🤬

The terms appeared in govt memos, in ofcl & unofficial agency guidance & in other docs. Some ordered the removal of these #words from public-facing websites, or the elimination of other materials (including #school curricula) in which they might be included.
Some agency managers advised caution in the terms’ usage w/o instituting a ban. Additionally, the presence of some terms was used to automatically flag for review some #grant proposals & contracts in conflict w/ #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders.
