Please join us at #CHI2026 to think about community + connection! Bring your own crafts + we will have some provided.
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.
They record data in structured formats like databases but also informally through building things like "the trans brain trust on making name changes." They also refuse data (to protect trans ppl) + use data to reframe common narratives.
