Trump’s State Department Drops The ‘T’ From LGBT on Government Website — Transgenderism No Longer Recognized

The Trump White House is making it abundantly clear that it does not endorse transgenderism and gender ideology.

On the State Department’s official website, the term LGBT no longer exists and has been replaced by LGB.

“LGB” stands for lesbian, gay and bisexual, while the “T” stands for transgenderism.

The change was picked up on a page in which LGB travelers are warned about the potential risks of travelling abroad.

The website states:

LGB travelers can face special challenges abroad. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel.

Many countries do not recognize same-sex marriage. Many countries also only recognize the male and female sex markers in passports and do not have IT systems at ports of entry that can accept other sex markers.

About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, individuals who engage in same-sex sexual relations may face severe punishment.

The move is part of a wider effort by the Trump administration to push back on transgenderism and the rise in gender ideology.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order entitled Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to The Federal Government.

The order states:

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.

Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy.

…

Accordingly, my Administration will defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male.

Last week, it was reported that the State Department would implement what is known as the “One Flag” policy across all U.S. embassies, meaning the flying of the LGBT pride or Black Lives Matter flag is no longer allowed.

On Friday, Trump also ordered all federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures as a matter of government policy.
