Laverne Cox - Tumblr Posts
Laverne Cox and her friend were victims of a transphobic attack three days ago — and not enough people are talking about it and what it means, say transgender-rights advocates.
Cox, best known for playing Sophia Burset in Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, revealed on Instagram that she was targeted while walking in Los Angeles. The Emmy-nominated actress gave a sobering account of the ordeal and the underlying message: “It doesn’t matter who you are… if you’re trans, you’re going to experience stuff like this.”
Trans women of colour are especially vulnerable to hate crimes such of these, with the vast majority of the record-high numbers of trans people murdered for being trans or GNC in the US alone being trans women of colour.
I was talking to someone about the president of the united states possibly being a woman and I said “I wish it was a transgender black woman” and then I realized it was Laverne Cox. I was talking about Laverne Cox.

47 phenomenal black talents from @netflix originals shows, films and documentaries came together for Strong Black Lead’s “A Great Day In Hollywood”.
This was a recreation of Art Kane’s 1958 “A Great Day In Harlem” which showcased 57 of the biggest black jazz musicians of the time.

Everyday we are reminded that white privilege will over take any other minority status one has. And the most media outlets like to smile and 'Diversity 🤗' but then ignore or even blackout any of the issues and news that are indigestible for white general audiences.
Laverne Cox and her friend were stalked and attacked in public by a transphobia piece of shit and the only thing covered was Elliot Page coming out. Why aren't both of these important and relevant stories being told?
Oh, that's right! Cuz yall dont care about Black Women, especially trans Black woman.
There is more outed support for Elliot just mentioning that he has concerns for his safety, then there was support for Laverne calling out for help from literally having her life endangered because she's trans.
Tumblr in particular is real silent, (you know, save for Black women) like Elliot is top trending, I saw a post praising fucking wikipedia for being so quick to change Elliots pronouns on his page. But any coverage or concern for Laverne???? Just yall Silence.
So excited for Rocky Horror on Fox tonight! Here’s my illustration of @Lavernecox as the fabulous Frank-N-Furter!
