Several government websites briefly went offline on Friday after federal agencies were instructed to comply with a White House order to remove certain language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Federal Aviation Administration, Census Bureau, and Justice Department were among the agencies affected, with some pages going blank before later being restored. President Donald Trump signed an executive order recognizing only male and female genders, leading to the removal of references to “gender ideology” from federal government websites. The move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to eliminate content related to diversity and inclusion across various federal agencies, including health organizations like the CDC, FDA, and NIH. The removal of pages related to HIV, reproductive care, contraception, and emergency contraception has sparked concerns about access to important health information. Additionally, federal employees were instructed to eliminate support for DEI efforts within the military and other agencies, including resource groups and cultural awareness initiatives. The Trump administration’s focus on promoting a binary view of gender and reducing the visibility of topics like reproductive rights and gender identity has raised questions about the impact on public access to critical health information and resources.
