Trump Administration Halts Responses to Reporters Using Pronouns in Emails

White House officials cite a policy of disregarding media inquiries from reporters with pronouns in their email signatures, claiming it reflects a denial of biological reality.

  • The Trump administration has confirmed it will not respond to journalists who include preferred pronouns in their email signatures, citing it as a matter of policy.
  • Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and other officials argue that the use of pronouns in email signatures demonstrates a disregard for biological truth and undermines journalistic credibility.
  • Reports indicate at least three instances where reporters were denied responses due to pronouns in their email signatures, with officials labeling the practice as a policy decision.
  • The White House’s stance aligns with broader administration efforts to limit recognition of transgender identities, including executive orders affirming only two genders and banning pronouns in federal communications.
  • It remains unclear whether this practice is an official directive or an informal approach adopted by individual officials, raising questions about press access and transparency.
