Janet Mock
Born in Honolulu, Mock moved to New York after college and received her M.A. in journalism from NYU.
She began writing for numerous magazines, and came out as trans in a 2011 Marie Claire article "I Was Born A Boy”–a title Mock was not happy with.
“I was born in what doctors proclaim is a boy’s body,” she said. “I had no choice in the assignment of my sex at birth… My genital reconstructive surgery did not make me a girl. I was always a girl.”
In addition to speaking engagements, Mock also hosts a weekly pop culture talk show on MSNBC, So Popular!, and is a contributing editor at Marie Claire. She penned her memoir, Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More in 2014.
