White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed reports on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s press office is not responding to emails from journalists who display their pronouns in their bios.

In a post on X, Leavitt replied to a headline that read, “‘Trump press secretary doesn't engage with reporters using pronouns in emails, says they deny reality.’”

“Fact Check: True,” the White House press secretary wrote.

The report dealt with a claim from New York Times reporter Michael Grynbaum, who said that on “three separate occasions,” the Trump press office had reportedly rejected emails from reporters who displayed their pronouns in their email signatures.

The report included a quote from Leavitt to the reporter that "As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios.”

The Times also noted how another reporter with pronouns in their bio failed to get a response to their email question regarding the Department of Government Efficiency by DOGE senior advisor Katie Miller.

"As a matter of policy, I don’t respond to people who use pronouns in their signatures as it shows they ignore scientific realities and therefore ignore facts," Miller told the reporter. 

"This applies to all reporters who have pronouns in their signature,” she added in a separate message.

When Gyrnbaum inquired with the press secretary if this was a White House press office policy, Leavitt replied in an email, "Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story."

The Times report also included a comment from White House communications director Steven Cheung, who said, "If The New York Times spent the same amount of time actually reporting the truth as they do being obsessed with pronouns, maybe they would be a half-decent publication."

President Donald Trump’s administration has been focused on ending gender identity language in the federal government and corporate America, signing an executive order declaring that the United States would only recognize two sexes, male and female.
