Transgender Advocate Janet Mock: Piers Morgan "Sensationalized" My Story
Transgender advocate Janet Mock accused CNN’s Piers Morgan of seeking to “sensationalize” her life after Morgan and his producers focused intensely on Mock’s past and physical aspects of her transition in an interview coinciding with the release of her book, Redefining Realness.
Morgan ended the first segment of the Piers Morgan Live interview by saying that Mock at one point had to tell the man she was dating that “you used to be yourself a man” — although Mock has never identified as a man.
The on-screen description of Mock was that she “was a boy until age 18,” although she was identifying as a girl in high school, and the Piers Morgan Live Twitter account posed the question during the interview, “How would you feel if you found out the woman you are dating was formerly a man?”
“He’s trying to do info-tainment,” Mock told BuzzFeed Tuesday night. “He doesn’t really want to talk about trans issues, he wants to sensationalize my life and not really talk about the work that I do and what the purpose of me writing this book was about.”

I've never been subjected to the kind of nonsense that @janetmock and her supporters are accusing me of now...wish I'd never booked her. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/430943948756881408

defined Americans. Turning off the tube is happening everywhere.
People are defining themselves and changing the world. A good example is gender queer.
