This is Janet Mock, shes an all around bad ass and an out - TopicsExpress



          

This is Janet Mock, shes an all around bad ass and an out (gorgeous) trans woman of color that offers a voice so rarely heard. Being out as Trans, Ive heard every question you can imagine about my body. I think this conversation is an awesome 3 minute peek through the window and it just barely scratches the surface about how invasive some of the conversations can be. Look, Im an open book. Ive been willing to be honest, vulnerable and open about most of the journey with most people. At the very end Janet Mock describes the mindset she had to assume in order to be able to ask the questions, a mindset of entitlement and a sense of proving or investigating. Its the difference between genuinely caring about my health and well being and caring about satisfying your curiosity regardless of my privacy. Im open to being asked anything in the right context, Im not open to being interrogated with the same twisted fascination you rubberneck a car accident.
