The Trump administration is making it very clear that it’s not going to engage in any kind of conversations that entail people with pronouns in their bio descriptions.
The president has already shared his views on the matter, and now the White House will no longer entertain questions from journalists covering them who have listed identifying pronouns inside their email signatures.
We’ve already seen the administration formally bar all federal workers from listing preferred pronouns in email signatures, calling this a symptom of misguided gender ideology.
On at least three recent occasions, one senior Trump press aide shared how they refused to engage with reporters’ queries because the journalists listed the pronouns inside the email.
‘As a matter of policy, we don’t and will not respond to reporters with such sentiments in their bio,’- White House Press Secretary Karonline Leavitt mentioned.
The news was related to a certain NYT reporter who asked about the possibility of the closing of a famed climate research observatory. Several weeks before that, Katie Miller who is the senior adviser for the Department of Government Efficiency, mentioned that she wouldn’t be answering questions for the same reason.
