Rewriting women's health: a content analysis of the Trump administration's revisions to womenshealth.gov

In 2025, the Trump administration instituted rapid changes to the data and information available on US government websites. We conducted a content analysis of the website womenshealth.gov between January 17 and February 20, 2025, to describe the changes that were made and to analyze what the changes reveal about the administration's priorities. Findings show crucial evidence-based maternal health and reproductive health care information was removed, and no credible health information was added. The information that was added reinforces biological sex essentialism, framing women's bodies as weak and in need of protection and framing trans people as a threat. Thus, the administration effectively uses womenshealth.gov as a platform to promote gendered power inequalities and LGBTQ+ oppression, rather than to improve health. This agenda, despite not being about health, will undermine health-not only for women and sexual/gender minorities, but for the entire population.
