"If access to data is a powerful tool for illuminating injustices, what happens when we continue to portray professionals as the only viable “domain experts” for participating in its interpretation and analysis? As a researcher within the academy, I am constantly and painfully aware that, while holding me up as an authority on queer lives is marginally better than holding up some cis professor, I can ultimately speak only for myself. If we seek to understand medical biases solely through an expert view, when those not afforded expertise are already marginalized within medicine, it’s hard to see how we’ve substantially changed the power relations that cause these injustices. In fact, by appearing (but only appearing) to tackle them, we may make things worse."
