In the Life Media released an episode of "In Conversation With…" featuring Janet Mock and Isis King concerning representations of transgender people…and especially transwomen…in the media.
They talk about trans representation on television, the counterproductive attention from trashy daytime talk shows, and the frustration of interviewers asking the same questions every time, without any regard for manners or privacy or even relevance.
The video is on the other side.

--Isis King
I get very angry when I see depictions of Trans 101 through mainstream media.
--Janet Mock
