Q&A: How one advocacy group is stepping in to bolster transgender data
The CDC is no longer processing transgender identity data, so researchers will have to turn to other data-gathering sources.
Since the first day of his presidency, Donald Trump has targeted transgender communities with executive orders that attempt to limit access to medical care, restrict how people identify on government documents, curb gender-inclusive research, and more. Two months later, Trump’s directive to eliminate “gender ideology” in particular is still reverberating through federal health agencies.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a few weeks ago that it would no longer process transgender identity data, including in critical health surveys like the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
