Why this is so offensive I have no idea considering he was born a boy.
Morgan’s still a douche.
Via Daily Caller:
. . . The reason for his bad day centered around Janet Mock, a transgender woman he’d had as a guest on his program to discuss her new book Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More. That’s right, he was helping her sell her book. But that wasn’t enough for Mock. She really wants to sell her book. So a week after the interview was taped, she incited people in the transgender community, who accused Morgan of being “transphobic” and mistreating her by explaining that she was male before age 18. The fact is, Mock was born a boy with the name “Charles” and had a sex change at 18. Her beef is that she “identified” as a woman her whole life. And yet, she still had a penis. During the interview, Piers told her that her dress was something Beyoncé would wear. Mock replied, “Well, I live for Beyoncé. So that’s a very good compliment. Thank you.” Piers complimented Mock repeatedly throughout the segment, calling her “brave” and “gutsy” and a “remarkable lady.” […]
Tonight, Piers had Mock back on his program in a live interview. He asked why he has had to endure 24 hours of abuse from the transgender community.
Piers: “I feel pretty peeved about it.”
Mock: “Well, I’m sorry you feel offended. I think people in the trans community feel equally as offended. …So much of our lives are open to dissection. We’re constantly questioned ever since we’re young that who we are is incorrect and wrong and should be kept secret.”
Piers: “I ask you again, Why have I been vilified for being transparently supportive of you I don’t get it.” […]
Piers: “Explain to me. Let me learn something here. Why it is so offensive for somebody like you who grew up a boy into your teenage years…you were biologically a boy, that you then have gender reassignment surgery and you become a woman and you always felt you were a woman. … I did not dispute that … and I don’t dispute it now… I want to learn why is it so offensive to say that you grew up as a boy because you always felt you were female you had surgery to become a woman, to become a real woman as you say in the book. Why is it offensive?”
