Thank you. I was starting to let them get to me. I really don't want to "hurt the movement" or all that. I am trying to be a good ally.

I'm not asking them to instinctively know. There are many resources available other than asking the marginalized group to take the time to educate you. Use them. ESPECIALLY if you call yourself an ally.

"Middle America wouldn't know where to start"

It's funny that you have moved on to another page of of derailing 101 - tone policing. It's not really tone policing because I'm not actually trans, but you are assuming that I am and tone policing me.

Yeah, instead of asking questions of the marginalized group they should go out and read the information themselves. It's out there all over the place. It isn't hard.

Okay, so why didn't you say that to begin with? Now that you've told me what you actually think (instead of just insulting me), I will try to explain myself better.

Are you kidding? I don't think trans-people need to be subjected to genocide before the issue of violence against them is addressed. The difference is that they are killed specifically BC of their identify...people like Brandon Teena for example. People who find out that someone is a transman or transwoman will…

yeah, this shit is ridic. really really depressing. I wish the mods would step it up.

Morgan's questions played into the narrative that trans* people are somehow hoodwinking with gender. And, yes, that narrative gets people killed. It is a tool used to make trans* people appear to be deceitful, disordered, and alien. It is the same dehumanization we have seen used against Jewish people,…

wow...an overwhelming number of the comments here are transantagonistic and/or downright misogynistic (calling janet mock a bitch?!?!?!). clearly so many people have not been paying close attention to, well, anything. whenever issues of gender identity and/or race come up here on jezebel, the comments never cease to…

Where are the mods today? This comment section is horrible. Christ.

Tranlation: "Political correctness", the movement that has made it less acceptable for white, straight men to say whatever the fuck they want to and about whoever the fuck they want, is a pain in the ass! The resulting social pressure that happens is just...too...uncomfortable...and isn't fair because people are…

There is a ton of educational information out there written by people in the trans community. I would suggest googling and reading their blogs.

Good grief. It isn't hard to figure out how to be an appropriate interviewer of a transgender person. It isn't hard to apologize when people tell you your behavior was offensive and uncalled for. Is there a a time when calling out shitty behavior actually becomes shitty behavior? Sure. But come on, he was wrong and…

Women like Janet Mock are killed by people who believe the ignorance Piers Morgan refuses to acknowledge in himself. But yeah, controversy machine, sure.

What I don't get is why it's so hard for reporters to understand asking about someone's genitals is rude. Full stop. Yes, the public is curious about it, but the public is curious about dozens of things Katie Couric or Piers Morgan would never stoop to ask.

So fucking gross of him to be calling what he's experiencing "vicious abuse".

I am really disappointed when ANY adult, much less an adult with the privilege of a public platform, acts like a fucking child. Way to chuck all your toys out of the pram, Piers, you're a real inspiration.

Wow. He didn't just double down, he quintupled down!
