an ode to cindy

Laverne Cox getting adorably overwhelmed while signing autographs 

This makes me wanna cry she’s so kind

I’ve said loving transgender people is revolutionary, but I think loving women — really loving women, is revolutionary too, in a social context that is deeply misogynistic, deeply does not celebrate women. So it’s really great to have a show that creates spaces that really do celebrate women and our diversity, and not just one kind of woman. That’s revolutionary. (x)

laverne cox is well on her way to becoming one of the most important, inspiring feminist icons of our time don’t even look at me if you think differently.

#the feminism laverne cox represents is the kind of feminism i want to be a part of

Laverne Cox speaks with InStyle (via orangeis)

Laverne Cox talks about Leelah Alcorn on The View.

She is such a nice person

"If you have a problem with people living their lives and being authentically who they are, you really should go and do some soul-searching."

she responds so intelligently and poised, i have so much respect for this woman

“The basis of most arguments against trans people is that we are not who we say we are, that we are always and only the gender that we were assigned at birth. And so much of that is about having a sense of certainty around gender, that when you were born with a certain set of genitalia, then that must dictate your entire life, and the reality is that that’s not true. A lot of people are not comfortable with that, because then that means they have to begin to question who they are.”- Laverne Cox

It’s not John Green’s fault that Laverne Cox wasn’t included the TIME 100.

John Green did not make the decision to not include Laverne Cox in the TIME 100.

John Green being included in the TIME 100 and Laverne Cox not being included does not reflect badly on him— it reflects badly on TIME magazine.

Stop acting like children and place blame where it belongs instead of looking for a fucking scapegoat.
