Jack LaSota , a computer programmer and transgender woman living in the San Francisco Bay area, starts writing a blog under the online persona “ Ziz ” with complex and sometimes rambling theories about technology, gender identity and human cognition.

He and three others — Emma Borhanian , Gwen Danielson and Alexander Leatham — are arrested during what they called a protest against sexual misconduct within rationalist organizations.

On Jan. 20 , U.S. Border Patrol officers pull Youngblut and Bauckholt over on Interstate 91 in Coventry , Vermont , killed in a shootout.
