The study critically analyzes the relationship between Open Government Data and the informational subjects who are transvestites and transsexuals, from a decolonial perspective in Information Science. It starts from the problem of state information production and circulation practices, considering that the collection, classification, updating, and availability of data are permeated by Intentionalities and human and technological mediations. The objective is to articulate OGD with the perspectives of the Intentionality of trans informational subjects, reflecting on the challenges and implications of these mediations. Methodologically, it is characterized as a theoretical essay of exploratory nature and qualitative approach, grounded in the intentional selection of interdisciplinary literature and in an interpretative analysis, without systematic or exhaustive character. The results demonstrate that the technical openness of data does not guarantee, by itself, informational justice; that inconsistencies between documents and systems can produce a chain of invisibility; and that technologies incorporate human and institutional Intentionalities capable of reproducing cisnormative structures. It is concluded that the quality of OGD depends not only on technical requirements but also on the recognition and participation of trans subjects in the processes of data production, organization, and evaluation. As a limitation, the study did not directly analyze government databases nor incorporate accounts from these subjects.
