LGBTQ+ TIG Week: The Double-Edged Sword of Queer Data by Scar Winter Kelsey

Leave a Comment / Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Issues / August 22, 2024

I’m Scar Winter Kelsey, a data analyst with the EDIT Program at Northwestern University. I invite my readers to investigate the double-edged sword of queer data collection and analysis and what it means for successful evaluation.

Queer representation in our data systems is becoming more prominent – but what does this mean for queer liberation? An increasing number of companies are letting users enter their pronouns, gender identity, and/or trans status on entry forms. This ranges from medical intake forms to bank forms. I see one of the benefits immediately: I feel safer pursuing medical care where the practitioners probably won’t misgender me. But, I feel safer knowing I’m not required to fill out these fields at all.
