This week in Seattle is Geek Week (August 13th-22nd), and part of
this week's events is a conference devoted to exploring privacy,
technology, and access to information. I'm here to understand what's
going on now, trending topics, and how these movements in privacy affect
the trans community.

We have a great need to protect the privacy
of our information for a variety of  obvious reasons. Information is
currency now, both literally and figuratively. In my mind, it would be
beneficial for the trans community to understand this and not get left
behind. We are making gains in the legal realm. I think this shows that
we're starting to take control of the words and concepts used to define
us. The next step in this evolution is to broaden this out and make sure
that we begin to control who profits from our lives and experiences.

I'll have more as the conference goes on...
