This headline is clickbait. The government webpages are being taken down or modified (a bad thing, to be clear), but that hardly qualifies as "all over the internet". Making inaccurate claims like this only serves to legitimize opposition and alienate potential allies.
So much attention to spend on such a small percentage of the population. Kind of messed up. I mean, to be so preoccupied with transgender and gay people especially children...
According to the census of June 16, 1933, the Jewish population of Germany, including the Saar region (which at that time was still under the administration of the League of Nations), was approximately 505,000 people out of a total population of 67 million, or somewhat less than 0.75 percent.

Exactly. And if you have a small enough minority like that, the chances of the general public knowing a member of that minority so that they can actually recognize their humanity is much smaller, making them more useful as a scapegoat.
And demonizing a marginalized group is great for fascists riling up popular support.
I understand it’s due to the rotten minds of small men, but it’s just so strange to me that they would spend so much time to create a problem that shouldn’t be a problem.
We have plenty of other legitimate problems that need addressing, but instead these idiots are going out of their way to oppress a small percentage of the population who aren’t doing any harm.
Because it's all about manufacturing a "decisive issue" to keep everyone occupied while he sells everything in the US he can to the highest bidder. It's all about the grift.
Plus they have two attributes needed to make a great Boogeyman:
Absolutely. I've quit voting the stories, and vote the comments. Starve the egregore.
They see it as a problem because it challenges how they see the world. They have a hard time adjusting to how society has evolved, so rather than trying to change their beliefs they use their power to force the world to conform to their views.
Also, they're fascist assholes.
They sure love to know what's going on children's pants.
How else will matt gaetz know which children to sex traffic?
So gross, but accurate
I'm partial to the idea that they're terrified of hitting on a trans woman. In their mind, there is a fear of being perceived as attracted to someone outside their rigid definition of femininity, which challenges their fragile masculinity and internalized homophobia.
"All over the internet"
Okay that sounds bad.
Is there an example that is not a government website.
A public university is a government website. In this case, state government. The more you know.
Public state universities receive part of their funding from the government, but they are not a government entity and employees are not government employees. I know because I worked for one.
I don’t know what they think they’re going to accomplish in the end game of this, but no matter how bad they want it, no matter what laws and regulations they enact- there is NO way they’re going to erase gender diversity because It’s a part of the human condition. It’s WHO WE ARE.
Try as they might, and do as they will, but It’s impossible to change who people are through legislation.
Genocide sometimes does work. He can literally imprison and force all trans and non binary folks to work in the Tesla tunnels until they die.
That's exactly what they want to accomplish. But like most things, they have absolutely no idea how to actually achieve their goals.
I'm honestly surprised that he would know the difference between sex and gender to even write that order.
Oh he's writing 0% of these executive orders. Others write them and he signs them.
It's like everyone who was talking about project 2025 was just shouting into the void and nobody heard a goddamn thing. These EOs were written up years ago by that evil fucking conglomerate.
Stephen Miller perchance?
I love those guys.
