Laverne Cox went on IG Live to talk about a transphobic attack she and a friend just experienced 
So much of what she had to say broke my heart because it’s simply...true.
“It’s not safe in the world [...] it’s not safe if you’re a trans person.”

“When these things happen, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. There are people who are not cool with you existing in the world.” — Laverne Cox

Look, there are so many times I’ve woken up from nightmares or had to pull myself out of flashbacks by saying the same exact thing of “I’m safe, I’m in my home now, everything’s okay.” And there’s still so much grief because so many of us *can’t* say that.
I don’t believe in trying to convince bigots to see us as people, but I do want to urge us to take our trauma seriously. This world will dismiss and minimize it, try to make you feel like you’re just playing victim, gaslight tf out of you, but this shit is *real*.
We stay at risk of death by homicide or suicide while these people pretend there’s no blood on their hands for the hateful shit they spread and support. We suffer so fucking much just from existing in a world that wants us dead. It adds up. It scrapes away at your will to live.
You’re not crazy. You’re not exaggerating. Please understand that people will tell you it’s not that serious right up to your eulogy, while genuinely believing they were good allies. This world is not safe for us.
Muting this thread because the transphobes are in my mentions calling Laverne a liar and being quite shitty. I can’t imagine the bullshit Laverne has to deal with from her visibility, my God. This world wants us dead.
This is heartbreaking. sending all my love and support her way. Black trans lives matter 
why is this world so evil no one should have to live in fear just to be themselves #protecttranslives
