. Anti-trans laws and bills are flooding state legislatures throughout the country. Some, like Arkansas’, make it a crime for doctors to treat trans kids with the gender-affirming medical care they need. Others, like Mississippi’s, prohibit trans girls and women from competing in sports. On Wednesday night, West Virginia followed Mississippi when Republican Gov. Jim Justice signed his state’s unjust anti-trans sports bill into law. Advertisement These measures are devastating. They force trans kids and their families to leave entire states and regions of the country. They exacerbate trans kids’ already alarmingly high suicide rates by withholding necessary medical interventions from them. They taint doctors who provide gender-affirming care to trans kids as the worst kinds of criminals, as some states, like Texas, include trans medical care in the same penal code that criminalizes sexual assault, forced child marriage, and human trafficking. ....
Reuters Though the explosion of social media and messaging apps has made our lives very public, this is not the first time that society has had to grapple with the issue of privacy. As the writer Gabriel García Márquez famously said. “All human beings have three lives: public, private and secret.” The boundaries between these spheres and our understanding of these lines vary with time, the nature of the society to which we belong and, often, the class of society from which we are drawn.

As philosopher Michael Lynch puts it, privacy affords us control over our thoughts and feelings, which is a “necessary condition for being in a position to make autonomous decisions, for our ability to determine who and what we are as persons.” ....
Tue, 01/26/2021 LAWRENCE Privacy is among the most cherished of American rights. Yet, one of society’s most vulnerable populations Black children are denied the benefits of the right to privacy through discriminatory educational practices, and a growing number of Black parents are turning to home education to protect that right, according to a University of Kansas privacy law scholar. In a landmark 1890 article, Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis outlined the right to privacy, in essence, as the right to be left alone. Privacy law and jurisprudence have followed from that inspiration, codifying in law the right for individuals to have privacy in body, property and mind. However, discriminatory practices in U.S. education have continued to deny Black children the right to be let alone and to fully reach their potential without excessive discipline, underrepresentation in gifted and talented programs, placement in the school-to-prison pipeline and more, according ....
