We create a design/research agenda called trans data that prioritizes trans ppl (drawing on prev research abt trans tech + trans competent interaction design). We propose:
1) Trans data materially improves trans lives.
2)Trans data crosses boundaries.
3) Trans data requires constant power analysis.

Research
Trans data materially
improves trans lives.
Embrace political
orientations of data [68] as
articulated in previous data
activism and advocacy
research [20, 26]
Research in service to a
community rather than
researching communities
Trans data crosses
boundaries.
Consider expansive
definitions of data [27] when
describing data advocacy
practices
Embrace embodied
knowledge and help build
non-conventional data
outputs
Trans data requires constant
power analysis.
Support activists with
already established power
analysis in considering how
data might be useful to them
Consider whether
participants might have
capacity to use tools built for
them
