More than a dozen webpages on the CDC's website, covering topics such as sexual and gender identity and health equity, have been removed following a directive from the Health and Human Services Department. This action has raised alarms among health equity advocates, who argue that the removal of these resources could create significant gaps in access to vital health information, particularly for marginalized groups. The pages included information on sexually transmitted infections, health equity for people with disabilities, and resources on asexuality and bisexuality. Critics assert that stripping away these materials endangers public health and erodes trust in government resources. The CDC has not provided specific reasons for the removals, but they appear to align with previous efforts by the Trump administration to limit references to gender identity in federal policies. A federal judge had previously ordered the restoration of similar resources, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding health equity and access.
