Laverne Cox reveals she and a friend were subjected to a transphobic attack

BuzzFeed

The Orange Is the New Black alum said she and a friend were walking in Los Angeles' Griffith Park Saturday when a man approached and "aggressively" asked, "guy or girl?" When the friend told him to "f*ck off," he began hitting the friend, prompting Cox to call 911. Neither suffered any physical injuries. "This dude was looking for trouble...because I happened to be a trans person in public," she said. "None of this is new, but it's still just kind of like...why do you need to be aggressive?"
