| Janet Mock Calls ‘The Breakfast Club’ Anti-Trans Rhetoric ‘Deplorable’
Vulture
Last week, writer, media figure, and trans activist Janet Mock went on the morning radio show “The Breakfast Club” to talk about her new memoir, Surpassing Certainty. It was the kind of conversation in which Mock found herself fielding questions about the status of her vagina and being referred to as “a transgender,” but Mock did her job, then put the interview behind her. Or she thought she did: A few days later...

| Dear Men of "The Breakfast Club": Trans Women Aren’t a Prop, Ploy, or Sexual Predators
Allure
I was not naive when I entered the TriBeCa studio of “The Breakfast Club,” a hip-hop radio show that bills itself as “the world’s most dangerous morning show,” hosted by Angela Yee, Charlamagne tha God, and DJ Envy, on July 18. I had watched previous interviews over the years and was familiar with their provocative and oftentimes problematic brand of talk....

abby fisher

blair overstreet
i'm literally watching the bb live feeds and eating berries. paul is such an asshole, i want to be his friend.
blair overstreet
existentially idk, do any of us really know what we're doing?
blair overstreet
You need to delete that last tweet you posted immediately.
abby fisher
what are you talking about? there's nothing wrong with that tweet
blair overstreet
oh FOR FUCK SAKE i'm not apologizing for this
blair overstreet
there's nothing to apologize for
blair overstreet
i was trying to be supportive, goddamn
blair overstreet
Do yourself a favor and take it down before it becomes a full blown news story. Don't respond to anything. Stay off of social media until I figure out what we're going to do to keep this from happening again.
abby fisher
what do you mean until i figure out what we're going to do, are you going to put me in twitter jail
blair overstreet
should i be preparing to stand trial

to Penny Overstreet 
Good morning Penny,
Took the night to figure out how we're going to handle Blair's current social media situation. Things need to be kept simple and UNCONTROVERSIAL through at least the premier on the 11th, since we have the media tour leading up until then. Would you be comfortable controlling her social media accounts until then? I think she'll take more kindly to you steering this ship than if I were to do it -- although if you are uncomfortable taking this on, I have no problem doing it myself. Let me know how you'd like to proceed and I'll get you set up with HootSuite if you need it.
Abby

to Abby Fisher
Morning, Abby!
I don't mind taking over for a little while if you think it will help, but would you mind being the one to explain the situation to Blair? She's upset about all of this already, I really don't think she was trying to make trouble this time. I've been trying to keep her calm... and I am pretty sure if I tell her to hand over her twitter password, it might be the last you ever hear from me.
Thanks,
Penny Overstreet

Your niece wasn't blessed much in the spine department, was she?
abby fisher
Penny? She's barely out of school, go easy on her -- and she's from Dan's side, they're the quiet ones. How are things with my truculent daughter?
madeline darcy
Truculent, now there's a hundred dollar word.
abby fisher
I've been playing a lot of Words with Friends lately.
madeline darcy
Blair's under control. We're going half-dark on the social media accounts, I'm putting them in Penny's care. It'll be interesting to see how long she lasts under the pressure.
abby fisher
You're testing my sweet niece?
madeline darcy
I'm making sure she's up to the task of keeping up with your truculent daughter.
abby fisher
This is why we pay you the big bucks.
