Transgender references removed from Stonewall National Monument website

The word “transgender” and all references to trans people were removed from the National Park Service website for New York City’s iconic Stonewall National Monument, in an apparent act of compliance with President Trump’s new federal gender policies.

In addition to transgender no longer being listed on the federally-run website, the “T,” “Q” and “+” were also scrapped from the “LGBTQ+” acronym — which now only reads “LGB” whenever referenced.

“Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) person was illegal,” the website read on Wednesday.

But by Thursday the site said: “Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal.”

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village across from the iconic Stonewall Inn, the small Stonewall Park is considered by many in the queer community to be the symbolic heart of the gay rights movement.

It was there that the modern gay rights movement was jumpstarted after a series of riots — known as the “uprising” — broke out in 1969 after police tried to raid the Stonewall Inn.

The removal of the transgender references from the Stonewall National Monument website comes as Trump signed a series of executive orders directing the federal government to only recognize two genders — male and female.

During his inauguration speech on Jan. 20, Trump vowed to “defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology” in an echo of a refrain from the campaign trail.

“With the stroke of my pen on day one, we’re going to stop the transgender lunacy,” he told supporters in December after he was elected.

And the president followed through — within days signing an order that not only made it official federal policy to only recognize the male and female sexes, but also banning the use of federal funds for child sex-change treatment, and another mandating that biological men are not allowed to compete in women’s sports.

Federal websites began scrubbing references to transgender people within days of Trump’s first order to only recognize males and females.

The removal of transgender references from the Stonewall Monument website appears to be a part of the federal government following Trump’s orders.

City Councilman Erik Bottcher denounced the move in a statement posted to X.

“The Trump administration has erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument website,” Bottcher wrote.

“We will not allow them to erase the very existence of our siblings. We are one community!!” he added.

The National Parks Service did not respond to a request for comment.
