According to the New York Times, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were ordered to pull out any pending research submitted to publications that mention the terms “pregnant people,” “transgender,” “LGBT,” and “immigrant.”

The debate over diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and gender-related topics intensified last week as President Donald Trump and several state leaders moved to roll back initiatives related to DEI and gender identity in government programs.

The Trump administration reportedly wants to erase terms including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, transsexual and nonbinary.
