This has been one amazing year for Laverne Cox in which she has broken ground for transkind on one level or another. She was the first transperson to appear on the cover of
Time magazine. She was the first out transperson to be nominated for an Emmy thanks to her groundbreaking Sophia Burset role on
Orange Is The New Black. She's produced a documentary on the unjust incarceration of CeCe McDonald for defending herself from a transphobic attack.
And now you can add one more first to an amazing list of them for Cox. The first out trans person to be named
a Glamour Woman Of The Year.
Yep, there's a girl like us along with other 2014 winners Chelsea Clinton, Robin Roberts, Lupita Nyong'o, and Mindy Kaling just to name a few of the other honorees
Megacongrats on another trailblazing first, Laverne.
