NHTSA censors car crash data to only reflect two genders.

Ars Technica reports that the agency has removed a 2022 dataset of car crash fatalities that had some unique statistics:

The uncensored data showed that unlike prior years, 22 car crash victims were documented using a category in 2022 for sex that had never been tracked previously, “Other (e.g., “X”, Non-Binary, Not Specified, etc.).”

According to Ars, the data might have been removed to comply with the Trump Administration’s order to define gender as binary.
