Leavitt’s Pronoun Policy Echoes Common Sense & Trump’s Two-Gender Framework
Since President Donald Trump’s return to office on January 20, the White House has pivoted sharply away from woke culture and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, embracing what many Americans call a return to common sense. On board with this charge is Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, whose policy of ignoring reporters with pronouns in their email signatures was recently “fact checked” and she resoundingly said it is indeed “true,” a symbol of the administration’s rejection of progressive ideology.
This week, Leavitt confirmed to The Washington Post, “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth.” Her tweet from @PressSec that day, calling a Fox News headline on the issue “True,” underscored her stance. For Leavitt, pronouns signal a denial of reality—a litmus test for journalistic trust that aligns with Trump’s broader agenda.
Rolling Back Harmful Woke Policies
The Trump Administration has moved swiftly to dismantle DEI and woke initiatives that did nothing but divide our nation and hurt our working class. His January 20 executive order recognized only two sexes—male and female—nullifying gender identity policies. Leavitt defended this as restoring “sanity” in her first briefing. The administration also froze federal grants to halt “illegal DEI programs,” with Leavitt emphasizing that taxpayer dollars should reflect public priorities, not progressive agendas.
These actions resonate with Trump’s base, who see them as a rejection of elite overreach in favor of practical concerns like economic stability and border security. Leavitt, the youngest press secretary at 27, embodies this ethos, praising Trump’s direct engagement with Americans, transparency in the administration, and push back to merit-based hiring and promotion.
Karoline Leavitt’s tenure is a microcosm of Trump’s mission, prioritizing a common-sense vision of America. Her pronoun policy is no mere quirk—it’s a declaration that the White House is done with progressive ideals, steering the narrative toward a new era.
