  • Piers Morgan under fire after referring to trans woman as a ‘former man'

    Journalist and trans rights campaigner Janet Mock has accused CNN presenter Piers Morgan of attempting to “sensationalise” her life after she was featured as a chat show guest on Piers Morgan Live, where she was repeatedly referred to as a “former man.”

    On Wednesday, Buzzfeed reported that Morgan had ended the first segment of his chat show interview by saying that Mock at one point had to tell the man she was dating that “you used to be yourself a man,” even though she had never identified as such.

    He followed up in remarking: “Had I not known anything about your story, I would have had absolutely not a clue that you had ever been a boy, a male.”
    After the interview, the Piers Morgan Live Twitter account asked its viewers: ”How would you feel if you found out the woman you are dating was formerly a man?”

    Mock told Buzzfeed that Morgan’s talk show veered into topics that tried to “sensationalise” her life rather than empathise with her story as a trans woman.
    She added that her book ‘Redefining Realness’ spoke very little on the topic of her relationship, and yet Morgan seemed to focus on this aspect more than anything.

    “He’s trying to do info-tainment. 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,” she said.
