The Trump administration has adopted a policy of not responding to journalists who include their preferred gender pronouns in their email signatures.
According to multiple reports, including one from The New York Times, the White House press office has been ignoring or giving non-answers to reporters who use pronouns like 'he/him' or 'she/her' in their communications. Press Secretary officials claim that using pronouns in this way 'denies scientific realities.' This move is seen as part of a broader pattern by the Trump administration to challenge expressions of gender identity in professional settings.
The policy has sparked criticism from media and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

Refusing to answer reporters just because they include their pronouns is petty, regressive, and a clear sign of how hostile this administration is to basic inclusion and respect.
This is just another petty and harmful move from the Trump camp to alienate and disrespect LGBTQ+ folks. Refusing to engage with journalists over pronouns shows how deep their intolerance runs—it’s not about science, it’s about pushing a regressive agenda. It’s 2024, and they're still clinging to this kind of bigotry? Pathetic.

Honestly, this is just another example of government overreach where it doesn’t belong. Who cares what pronouns someone puts in their email? It’s not the government’s job to police language or personal expression. If the White House wants to ignore journalists over something so petty, that’s a total waste of taxpayer-funded time and resources. Everyone should be free to communicate however they want without the feds throwing a tantrum. This kind of micromanagement is exactly why people don’t trust big government in the first place.
Good on them for not playing into this pronoun nonsense—it's about time someone stood up for common sense and biological reality.

The White House will no longer respond to reporters who list their preferred gender pronouns in their email signatures because they “ignore scientific realities.”
