'Trump orders end to propaganda pronouns in government email signatures
OPM directive also mandates online sites promoting LGBT ideologies must
be unplugged: 'I can just feel the sanity returning to D.C.''

'Propaganda pronouns, those pronouns chosen by people who want to
promote their LGTB ideologies, especially the transgender beliefs, in
their government email signatures, are going away.
In fact, under an order from the Office of Personnel Management, they
are to be gone by end of business Friday.
A commentary at NottheBee said, "I can just feel the sanity returning to
D.C. And I can also feel half of the Swamp writhing in pain when they
read this memo."
The order comes from the OPM, over the signature of Chuck Ezell, acting director.
The "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring
Biological Truth to the Federal Government" sets out specific
instructions.
Federal agencies and bureaucracies are to review all their programs, contracts, grants and more and end those that "promote or inculcate
gender ideology."
Workers doing those programs are on administrative leave with
notification that the efforts are being ended.
Online sites promoting the ideologies must be unplugged.
And a review is mandated of agency email systems such as Outlook and
those features that prompt users for their pronouns must be turned off.
Gender training is canceled. And "resource" groups focusing on gender ideologies are disbanded.
On forms, "gender" cannot be used, only "sex" being male or female.
And the federal managers must "ensure that intimate spaces designated
for women, girls, or females (or for men, boys, or males) are designated
by biological sex and not gender identity."
A report on everything that's done is due in a week.
NottheBee reported, "Hear that woke D.C. losers? By the end of the day,
you better be deleting all vestiges of your woke religious shibboleths
from public sight. We are done playing this nonsense game."
It cited the orders that, "Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday
afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News that cited
two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on his first day
in office seeking to curb diversity and equity programs in the federal government."
That order said, "'Pronouns and any other information not permitted in
the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5.p.m.
ET on Friday,' according to one such message sent Friday morning from
Jason Bonander, the CDC's Chief Information Officer. 'Staff are being
asked to alter signature blocks by 5.p.m. ET today (Friday, January 31,
2025) to follow the revised policy.'"
No more they/them. No more xir/xer.

Federal employees with the Department of Transportation received a
similar directive on Thursday, the same day the department was managing
the fallout from the D.C. plane crash near Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport.
Employees were instructed to remove pronouns from everything from
government grant applications to email signatures across the department, sources told ABC News'
Well seeing as there are currently over 100+ pronouns this is sick.

What is a pronoun?
Pronouns are some of the most useful words in the English language. They are used in the place of a noun to avoid it having to be named twice. For example: Suzy threw the boomerang and it came back to her. In this sentence, "it" is a pronoun that
represents the boomerang, and "her" is a pronoun that refers to Suzy. Without pronouns, we'd have to say Suzy threw the boomerang and the boomerang came back to Suzy. Without pronouns, how would we even say "we"?
Here's the full definition.
Definition of Pronoun
In English, the part of speech used as a substitute for an antecedent noun that is clearly understood, and with which it agrees in person, number, and gender. Pronouns are classified as personal (I, we, you, he, she, it, they), demonstrative (this, these,
that, those), relative (who, which, that, as), indefinite (each, all, everyone, either, one, both, any, such, somebody), interrogative (who, which, what), reflexive (myself, herself), possessive (mine, yours, his, hers, theirs). There are also
pronominal adjectives, sometimes called possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, our, their).
1. Personal Pronouns / Subject Pronouns
You already know subject pronouns, even if you didn't know that's what they were called. Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject in a sentence. You might also see them called "personal" pronouns, as they designate the person speaking (I, me, we,
us), the person spoken to (you), or the person or thing spoken about (he, she, it, they, him, her, them). The following commonly used words are subject pronouns:
I
we
you (singular and plural)
he
she
it
they
Personal pronoun examples
I will be leaving soon.
You are welcome.
She is the new teacher.
He speaks three languages.
They are very friendly neighbors.
2. Object Pronouns
Object pronouns are used as the object of a verb or a preposition.
me
us
you (singular and plural)
her
him
it
them
Object pronoun examples
They offered me a ride. ("Me" is the object of the verb "offered.")
This letter is addressed to me. ("Me" is the object of the preposition "to.") They gave us free tickets to the show. ("Us" is the object of the verb "gave.") 3. Possessive Pronouns
A possessive pronoun designates ownership and can substitute for noun phrases. mine
ours
yours (singular and plural)
hers
his
theirs
Possessive pronoun examples
The green gloves are mine.
That cat is hers.
The red house is theirs.
Possessive Adjectives / Pronominal Adjectives
"Pronominal" describes something that resembles a pronoun, as by specifying a person, place, or thing, while functioning primarily as another part of speech. A pronominal adjective is an adjective that resembles a pronoun. "Her" in "her car" is a
pronominal adjective.
my
our
your
her
his
their
4. Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns might be the easiest group to remember because they all have one thing in common: the ending "self" or "selves." That's because reflexive pronouns show how the actions of an aforementioned person or group affects him or her (or them).
myself
yourself
herself
himself
itself
ourselves
yourselves
themselves
Reflexive pronoun examples
I bought myself a new car.
That man thinks a great deal of himself.
We may be deceiving ourselves.
5. Intensive Pronouns
Intensive and reflexive pronouns are actually the exact same words (ending with "self" or "selves"), but they function differently in a sentence. Intensive pronouns not only refer back to a previously mentioned person or people, but they also emphasize.
As their name suggests, they intensify.
myself
yourself
herself
himself
itself
ourselves
yourselves
themselves
Intensive pronoun examples
I myself was certain of the facts.
The trouble is in the machine itself.
The cooks themselves eat after all the guests have finished.
6. Indefinite Pronouns
As the word "indefinite" suggests, these pronouns do not specify the identity of their referents. They are more vague than other pronouns.
all
another
any
anybody
anyone
anything
both
each
either
everybody
everyone
everything
few
many
most
neither
nobody
none
no one
nothing
one
other
others
several
some
somebody
someone
something
such
Indefinite pronouns examples
Both were candidates.
No one is home.
Several of the workers went home sick.
7. Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns specify a particular person or thing.
such
that
these
this
those
Demonstrative pronouns examples
I don't much care for these.
Who's that?
Such are the fortunes of war.
8. Interrogative Pronouns
This group of pronouns question which individual referent or referents are intended by the rest of the sentence.
what
whatever
which
whichever
who
whoever
whom
whomever
whose
Interrogative pronoun examples
Who left?
Which of these is yours?
Do whatever you please.
9. Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns introduce a dependent clause and refer to an antecedent (simply the word or phrase to which a pronoun refers). For instance, who in the child who is wearing a hat or that in the house that you live in.
as
that
what
whatever
which
whichever
who
whoever
whom
whomever
whose
Relative pronoun examples
The car that has a flat tire needs to be towed.
The visitor who came yesterday left his phone number.
Do whatever you like.
10. Archaic Pronouns
There are several pronouns that have fallen out of common usage but appear frequently in older texts, so there is still a good chance that you will encounter them. "Thee" is an old word for "you" used only when addressing one person, while "thy" is an
old word for "your." "Thine" indicates the one or ones belonging to thee.
thou
thee
thy
thine
ye
Archaic pronoun examples
Thou shalt not kill.
With this ring, I thee wed.
Thy name is more hateful than thy face.
To thine own self be true.
