The CDC has removed significant references to transgender individuals, gender identity, and related healthcare information from its website, aligning with recent executive orders that prohibit the promotion of gender ideology. This directive includes deleting pages on HIV testing for transgender people and resources for LGBTQ+ youth. Additionally, the CDC instructed its researchers to retract any studies that utilize gender-related terms. While some vaccine recommendations were restored, the future availability of other critical resources remains uncertain.
The removal of references to transgender people by the CDC is a direct result of executive orders mandating the cessation of gender ideology in government agencies.
CDC staff were directed to eliminate all outward-facing materials promoting gender ideology and instructed to retract any research containing terms related to gender identity.
