The Trump Administration recently removed sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions from a national aging survey, and decided not to add a sexual orientation category and a transgender identity field to a national disability survey as planned. These actions have raised concerns that the major expansion of SOGI data collection on surveys and in clinical settings, which has occurred in recent years, may be under threat. SOGI data collection is essential to understand lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) health and the extent to which LGBT people access critical social services, including elder and disability services essential for living in community.
特朗普政府最近从一项全国性老龄化调查中删除了性取向和性别认同（SOGI）问题，并决定不按计划在一项全国性残疾调查中增加性取向类别和跨性别认同字段。这些行动引起了人们的担忧，即近年来在调查和临床环境中对 SOGI 数据的大规模收集可能受到威胁。SOGI 数据收集对于了解女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者（LGBT）的健康状况以及 LGBT 人群获得包括老年和残疾服务在内的关键社会服务的程度至关重要，这些服务对于在社区中生活是必不可少的。
