President Donald Trump ran for office in part on a promise to root out and eliminate all of the progressive leftist "woke" lunacy from the federal government, and he has wasted little time in attempting to fulfill that vow.

On Friday, employees of multiple federal departments and agencies received orders to eliminate any preferred pronouns from their email signatures and other documents, ABC News reported.

The move was traced back directly to a pair of executive orders Trump signed on his first day that targeted "diversity, equity, and inclusion," or DEI policies, as well as "gender ideology extremism" and the non-scientific belief that there are more than two biological sexes.

No more preferred pronouns

ABC News reported that it was informed by multiple sources that internal memos were sent on Friday to all employees of several federal departments, including Transportation, Energy, Health and Human Services, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The memos cited certain executive actions by President Trump to combat the prevalence of DEI and gender ideology policies in the federal workforce, including the inclusion of preferred pronouns -- such as "He/Him," "She/Her," or "They/Them" -- in email signatures and on other forms and documents.

As an example, the message received by CDC employees stated, "Pronouns and any other information not permitted in the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5 p.m. ET on Friday."

Spokespeople for the Departments of Transportation, Energy, HHS, and the CDC declined to comment when asked about the directive on preferred pronouns, and it is unclear if other federal departments and agencies received similar instructions.

Those may be coming soon, if they weren't already sent, as ABC News also learned of an Office of Personnel Management memo that went out on Wednesday that ordered the office to further "Review agency email systems such as Outlook and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns."

Trump's orders on DEI and gender ideology

ABC News reported that the memos sent to employees of the above-mentioned departments and agencies specifically cited two executive orders that President Trump signed on his first day that dealt with DEI and gender ideology policies for the federal workforce.

The first of those was titled "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing," which per the memo to Energy Department employees called for the removal of DEI-related language in all "Federal discourse, communications, and publications."

The second of those orders, which may be more applicable to the absurd inclusion of preferred pronouns in email signatures, was titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."

That order included a provision that stated: "Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages."

Some federal workers are displeased

Of course, not everyone is happy about President Trump's efforts to root out and do away with the "woke" lunacy of the left that was welcomed and implemented far and wide throughout the federal government under the previous Biden-Harris administration.

One unnamed federal worker fumed to ABC News, "In my decade-plus years at CDC I've never been told what I can and can't put in my email signature."
