Federal Data Users

This article is from March 31, but I think it does a good job of articulating the entire sector destruction of gender identity data inclusion and trans research since January 2025. It was authored Dr. Kellan Baker, who was a co-author of the National Academies SOGI measurement report and has worked for trans inclusion in research for decades.

Excerpt: 

The importance of data cannot be understated. This makes the efforts by the federal government to remove survey questions, erase variables from key data sets, and stifle research even more alarming. By simultaneously removing access to existing datasets, removing gender (and other key measures, such as sexual orientation, race, and disability) from key surveys, terminating federal funding for research projects that include trans people, and censoring research projects at federal data centers, this administration's goal is to erase the lived experiences of trans people – with the idea that if we don't exist in data and in research, the federal government can claim that we don't exist at all.
