Yeah, that’s the unfortunate aside of shitty humans running institutions.
The actuaries I know are all really impartial numbers oriented people. “The truth comes from the data” sort of folks. The problem is that data/information is power, and that can be abused/misapplied. The problem beyond that is that as long as things like gender and biological sex remain relevant bits of data, then true integration into society is going to involve that information not being hidden away.
To raise a point: as there are a lot of hormonal related cancers, I’d think that studies involving massive numbers (gleaned from death certificate info) on say cancer rates in transgender individuals and their cis counterparts could be very medically important.
But, the devil’s in the details, and I do agree that as long as there are shitty humans involved, it would serve to be extremely cautious approaching things like this.
