(The monument, in Manhattan\u2019s Greenwich Village, was designated as such in 2016 by President Obama.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe NPS\u2019s move aligns with the Trump administration\u2019s broader push to redefine and omit specific language around gender identity from public spaces. In recent weeks, the administration has issued executive orders limiting legal recognition of gender identity and banning transgender athletes from women\u2019s sports. Earlier this month, new standards released by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stipulated that active transgender troops will be blocked from receiving some gender-affirming medical care from military physicians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tActivists and historians have strongly criticized the changes, calling them an attempt to erase history. The Stonewall Inn and the Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative released a joint statement condemning the move on Thursday: \u201cThis decision to erase the word \u2018transgender\u2019 is a deliberate attempt to marginalize the very people who paved the way for many victories we have achieved as a community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tTransgender activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were key figures in the Stonewall Uprising. They later co-founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) to support homeless transgender youth, and Rivera fought to ensure transgender people were included in legal protections gained by the broader LGBTQ+ movement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Park Service (NPS), a government body overseeing federally protected public grounds, has removed all mention of transgender individuals involved in the Stonewall Uprising, a 1969 New York protest led by queer and trans activists that is said to have jump-started the gay rights movement.
