Laverne Cox schooled Nigerianย feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, who told BBC that theย experiences of transgender women are different from women whose gender was assigned female at birth.
The “Orange Is the New Black” star kicked up a social media firestorm this weekend, after takingย issue withย Adichi’s recent comments on Friday in which she, essentially, told the BBC that trans women can’t relate to cisgender women because they enjoyed male privilege before their transition.
It didn’t take long before Adichi was facing a barrage of angry tweets, including one from Laverne Coxย about the “privilege” of being bullied as kid.
