Transgender Advocate Janet Mock: Piers Morgan "Sensationalized" My Story

BuzzFeed - Taking the trans story “outside the safe bubble.” WASHINGTON — 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."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."
