Read our privacy policy An LGBTQ group has criticised reports that Donald Trump's administration will ban health agencies from using the word “transgender” in official documents being prepared for next year’s budget. In a series of tweets, the group’s executive director, Rea Carey, said: “President Trump is clearly hostile to the LGBTQ community, women, and science. It is disgraceful to attempt to wipe away transgender people, women, & science.” Ms Carey went on to say: “President Trump should be ashamed of himself. The CDC knows that the HIV transmission risk for transgender people is high.” News of the Trump administration’s instruction on prohibited words was revealed by The Washington Post who said policy analysts at the CDC were told of the banned words at a meeting last week.
