Caitlyn Jenner has received an incredible amount of support and encouragement since revealing herself to the world last month, and it’s been really inspiring to see. One of the biggest bits of support she’s received from Hollywood has come from Laverne Cox, herself a trans woman who knows what it’s like to go through something so monumental. Caitlyn was touched by the wonderful outpouring of love she received from Laverne, who posted a really sweet Tumblr note after Caitlyn’s Vanity Fair spread came out, and she reached out to her on Twitter this week.
.@LaverneCox, you are fierce and fabulous! Your support means the world. Thank you for all that you do for the community. #TransIsBeautiful

Laverne responded this morning with the following:
My pleasure. Sending you lots of love always. #TransIsBeautiful https://t.co/sWHbFHcSy3

I think this is really sweet all around and also, Laverne Cox is a queen. Seriously, one time I saw her shopping in Manhattan and thought I was gonna die because she’s so beautiful. More than that, though, she’s an amazing activist and advocate for issues surrounding the LGBT community and just seems like a pretty amazing human being.
