(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's transgender policy began with a Day One executive order delegitimizing gender identity. Now it has encroached on a conspicuous place, removing the word "transgender" from the U.S. National Park Service website for the Stonewall National Monument.

The monument commemorates the Stonewall Inn, a New York gay bar where resistance to a 1969 police raid sparked the civil rights movement expanding LGBTQ rights.
