"I'm not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner."
— Janet Mock, Redefining Realness (Atria, 2014)

The DOJ has set the table. They serve "religious liberty" as the entrée and ask us to call our protections being eaten in front of us a meal.

Mock's refusal is the one a Black trans woman has had to make every morning of her public life: I will not pretend this is a place set for me.

POSE - 6/24/2018, FX

In this episode: Early in the AIDS crisis, several characters get tested for HIV. Elektra finally has her surgery, over her boyfriend's objections. Two characters struggle with body-image insecurities. Script written by Janet Mock.

One of the things I love about POSE is that trans women were in the writing room and on the producing team early on. It makes all the difference when a group's stories aren't being told entirely by people outside that group's experience.

Here's the original promo video for the episode: https://youtu.be/UmAqgQRoJ5o
