Did President Trump order federal workers to remove pronouns from their email signatures? Several viral social media posts make this claim. “JUST IN: President Trump reportedly has ordered all federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures today,” reads one Instagram post with more than 13,000 likes. “BREAKING: Trump administration orders federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures by today at 5PM,” reads a similar post on Threads.
The claims are true. While Trump did not explicitly order the removal of notes attached to email signatures specifying the sender’s preferred pronouns, employees of multiple federal agencies have been asked to remove gender pronouns from their email signatures following guidance issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on one of Trump’s executive orders.
