Washington DC, St Paul MN, NYU, Bridgewater MA, VA Tech, Albany, Madison WI, Grinnell IA...

...you're in luck.

(quick note: a couple of readers suggested I misspelled Ms Monk's name.  It is indeed "Mock.")

Janet Mock has been in the news, thanks to the (suddenly cancelled) Piers Morgan.  I don't know a lot
about Ms Mock but I want to learn more.  I just need some time, and a good place to start would probably be to peruse her website, read her book, and maybe go to one of her talks and book signings.

The lucky people mentioned above are in target cities of her book tour.  DC is tonight and, alas, I can't make it.

You can find her upcoming events at janetmock.com/events.  Ignore the graphic (copied here); it's out of date.  Scroll down to see her tour dates; it looks like it's quite in flux so if your city is not listed you may want to check back every few days.

How to Catch My Eye ~ Actual Trans Content Properly Labelled

Tuesday, 18 Feb, Steven Colbert had not one but two segments about gender.

He spent some time on the new facebook gender choices, and Piers Morgan's interview with Janet Mock.  He then had Ms Mock in the studio and he held a credible interview with her about gender and What Piers Did Wrong.

You can find the entire episode here.  It's worth a watch (if Colbert isn't your style, you can safely skip the Brian Greene interview segment at the end).

I've been suddenly reading a lot about Janet Mock.  This is the first time I've seen her.

I like her.
