“Redefining Realness” Famous and Prominent Trans Women Of Color
Janet Mock
Mock has become one of the most famous trans advocates. She recently made headlines for once again correcting language used to describe trans women and transgendered people in general. Just ask Piers Morgan! He’ll probably deny it, but she had to check him about sensationalizing her transition — by playing into the once a boy now a girl notion — while promoting her book, “Redefining Realness.” She was NEVER a boy, and she had to correct him, using that language. She steered him toward issues impacting trans people, which are more important.
