The Huffington Post/OWNBy Lisa Capretto   11/20/2015

"In her career as a journalist, Janet Mock has hosted shows for MSNBC, written a best-selling memoir, founded the #GirlsLikeUs social media movement and become one of the most influential trans women in the country. Her accomplishments and advocacy have made her a role model for other trans people everywhere, and Mock is proud to be a much-needed mirror that young girls can look up to. However, she also says that there's an irony in her successes."

Read the article all the way through, and still confused about how her success is ironic. Frankly, I found the article rather ordinary. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
