Laverne Cox found himself in hot water last week for campaigning to move a convicted child murderer and child rapist to a woman’s prison.
Cox, the transsexual star of Netflix’s critically acclaimed web series Orange is the New Black, read a letter from Luis Morales, also known as transsexual Synthia China Blast, who is incarcerated in a New Jersey prison for the rape, murder and burning of the body of 13-year-old Ebony Nicole Williams.
Ebony, a habitual runaway, was raped by Morales and another man, and repeatedly stabbed and sliced all over her body. When Ebony was dead, Morales and the other man stuffed her body into a Pampers box and carried it through the streets of Newark to an underpass, where Morales set the box on fire.
Following the public backlash on Twitter.com and blogs, Cox asked The Sylvia Rivera Law Project (who created the video) to make the video private on their website — rather than pull the video down. Then to add insult to injury, Cox rushed out a statement in which he claims he was not aware of the charges against Morales before he read Morales’s letter.
Who agrees to read a letter from an incarcerated felon without asking what he’s in prison for?
Virtually none of the media outlets who normally cheerlead for Mr. Cox covered the controversy on social media last week, because it shed light on the fact that cross dressers like Mr. Cox do not champion for women’s causes — only their own selfish causes.
Despite Gender Identity Watch blog’s petition calling for the removal of Cox from the cast of OITNB, Cox seems to have merged from the controversy unscathed.
Cox’s supporters — mostly women who help promote the trans agenda cleverly disguised as a human rights campaign — accepted his lame excuse that he didn’t know Morales was a child murderer and rapist.
But this is not the first time that The Sylvia Rivera Law Project or Mr. Cox, whose real name is Roderick, threw their support behind cross dressers who are imprisoned for violence against women.
Cox and others like him routinely diminish women by referring to us as cisgendered, a transgender newspeak term that means a woman who identifies with the gender she was supposedly “assigned” at birth.
Thanks to this bit of controversy, women everywhere are waking up and realizing that the transgender community’s equality campaign is actually a war on biological women and girls.
