Before Mock signed a deal making her the first transgender person to land full creative control within a major content company, she explained how Murphy used "showrunning as advocacy" in making her a writer, producer and director on Pose. “From the very first conversation I had with Ryan…the first difficult conversation we had was about — ‘Why you? Why are you choosing to do the show?,'” Mock told Indiewire last month. “I asked him that, and he was very sincere, and he said, ‘The reason I’m doing this show is this internal thing that I’ve been saying to myself – using showrunning as advocacy.'”
