Disappearing...

We are in good company…
  • In ancient Rome, emperors like Geta had their names chiseled off monuments and their portraits destroyed.
  • In the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, purged officials were removed from photos, textbooks, and records.
  • In China during the Cultural Revolution led by Mao Zedong, historical texts, artifacts, and traditions were destroyed as “old culture.”
  • In the United States under Trump, references to trans people have been removed.
Trump minions has been axing us off government websites...
Some agencies went even beyond what the president ordered on day one.

President Donald Trump already has signed more executive orders since January 2025 than during his entire first term — and more than many presidents signed during their tenures in office. But one order has gone far beyond the others in reshaping the ecosystem of information the government and so many others, rely on.

“EO14168 has been overwhelmingly responsible for driving changes to federal forms and survey data,” says Melanie Klein, an analyst with the federal monitoring organization DataIndex who has been tracking these alterations. Although Trump signed EO14168—better known by its title “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”—on his first day in office, data experts are still getting a sense of its far-reaching scope.

Of more than 500 federal databases affected by Trump’s myriad executive orders, nearly three-quarters were revised because of the Defending Women order alone. Most of the cases involved removing trans-inclusive gender identity options from survey forms, leaving people to choose between male or female.
So far, they haven’t cut us from the research database like PubMed, but in nearly all other areas, we have been erased.

Trump’s pogrom against us is a multi-pronged attack: removing all references to us, erasing our presence from landmarks like the Stonewall National Monument, removing dancing drag queens from public history, and denying us healthcare.
