End CDC collection of gender-identity data
Mandate says CDC should immediately end collecting gender-identity data because it allegedly legitimizes unscientific notions of sex change.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 14 (HHS) — CDC Data Collection: CDC should immediately end its collection of data on gender identity.
Undo plan
1) Reinstate CDC demographic data standards that include voluntary gender-identity fields where scientifically useful for health disparities and care quality.
2) Publish methods separating sex assigned at birth from gender identity for clinical epidemiology.
3) Fund research on outcomes without erasing LGBTQ health surveillance.
4) Require IRBs/privacy review for sensitive demographic fields.
5) Verify: restoration of key surveillance systems (e.g., YRBS/BRFSS modules) with documented response rates.
