THE COLLECTION, SHARING, AND USE OF GENDER DATA
summary
Shows how law and bureaucracy make gender data messier and dangerous: UK overruled Scottish self-ID on 17 Jan 2023 and a census that adds LGBT questions still excludes non‑binary people; one Florida agency sits in 1172 sharing agreements that pool terabytes of sex/gender fields; pooled mismatches flag people as fraud and over 100 people denied benefits in interviews; claiming safety, prisons put trans people requesting care into solitary; employers use an outness metric (BBC >50%) that pressures disclosure.
