Former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg seems to have made a change on his social media account that has left observant users asking questions.
Before and after screenshots of Buttigieg’s account on X show that the former South Bend, Indiana mayor appears to have removed pronouns that were previously featured on his bio.

Buttigieg’s bio on his personal page listed him as “Husband, father, veteran, writer” and showed his pronouns as “he/him.”
Currently, the Democrat’s page describes him as “Husband, dad, veteran, writer, and proud Midwesterner. 19th US Secretary of Transportation and former Mayor of South Bend.” There are no pronouns in sight.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck suggested the former Obama administration official is looking to run for office and “pronoun stupidity” could get in the way of his appeal to voters.
“Even his ilk realizes that pronoun garbage is a loser in politics now,” Starbuck wrote on X, vowing that Buttigieg “can delete it from his page but we won’t let Pete erase history. We will remind voters of who he is.”
Pete wants to be Governor or Senator in MI. He knows he can’t win a state like MI with pronoun stupidity. Even his ilk realizes that pronoun garbage is a loser in politics now. He can delete it from his page but we won’t let Pete erase history. We will remind voters of who he is. https://t.co/L7WyFVGE4Q

Buttigieg is reportedly taking a “serious look” at the Senate race in Michigan as Democrat Sen. Gary Peters announced he will be retiring. Growing up in Indiana, Buttigieg moved to Traverse City, Michigan in 2022.
Social media users agreed that Buttigieg may be trying to rebrand himself in order to run for office. They were quick to recall the real story behind the 43-year-old former naval officer married to husband Chasten Buttigieg.
Ummmm, Mayor Most DEFINITELY unqualified to have been Transportation Secretary Pete, the Internet is FOREVER. You can’t hide such things.

Others on X offered their theories about the sudden disappearance of Buttigieg’s pronouns.
Looks like he no longer needs to virtue signal? Or maybe he knows pronouns are a red flag when people are reading resumes? He is unemployed after all.

That’s how you know nobody ever believed this pronouns sht. As soon as the trend is seen as idiotic, they abandon ship immediately. Haha!

What a hypocrite this man is. @PeteButtigieg . So pronouns only when it is politically expedient. We get it and. We SEE the two- faced action for what it is.

So, the pronouns were part of a plan to push ideology? So many have removed their pronouns in the last couple of months, I find that to be suspicious.
