Trump administration wants to remove 'gender' from UN human rights documents

US officials have pushed for rewriting of collective statements to remove language inclusive of transgender people

US officials at the United Nations are seeking to eliminate the word “gender” from UN human rights documents, most often replacing it with “woman”, apparently as part of the Trump administration’s campaign to define transgender people out of existence.

At recent meetings of the UN’s Third Committee, which is concerned with “social, humanitarian and cultural” rights, US officials have been pushing for the rewriting of general assembly policy statements to remove what the administration argues is vague and politically correct language, reflecting what it sees as an “ideology” of treating gender as an individual choice rather than an unchangeable biological fact.

For example, in a draft paper on trafficking in women and girls introduced by Germany and the Philippines earlier this month, the US wants to remove phrases such as “gender-based violence” and replace them with “violence against women”.

The US officials involved in the changes are understood to have been sent from Washington, and were not full-time diplomats in the US mission.

1. Great friend you got there, LGBTQ community.

How could you anyone believe this fraud's bullshit.
I know most of you didn't, but none of you should have.
This goes for black people and Hispanics as well. And, of course you too, working white folks. As a matter of fact, it goes for everyone who voted for the world's biggest liar.
