So, back to the HRT Transgender Dataset.It's a huge problem for all the same reasons as the OKC data:

- no affirmative consent - no ability to withdraw consent - highly personal info

What's unique here is that this info about trans folks is *dangerous*. There are web forums where one can access doxing info for nearly...

Every moderately well known trans person. Address, phone, workplace, pretransition photos, etc.

The danger here is absolutely real. Trans folks routinely lose their jobs bc of this harassment. We watch our WOC sisters die almost daily…

for being trans. This is not an abstract conversation. Real livelihoods and lives are at stake.

The dataset is a problem not just because of a lack of consent and use of private info but because it opens folks to serious harm

I could care less about legality here. @gmahalingam and @ricanekk, you have an **ethical** responsibility to take down this dataset.
