Laverne Cox is known for her trademark long weaves and wigs, but the Orange is the New Black star took to Instagram recently to reveal a bare face and natural hair.captions She captioned the photo;
#AuNaturale #NoMakeup #NoFilter #NoWeave #washfacenobase #TransIsBeautiful
Looking lovely Ms Cox! Hopefully she can work some natural styles into her look.
But why does Lavern look better natural than with makeup?! itโs just not fair! lol.
Ok am done with bglh. This is a MAN. STOP using this space as a pedestal to force us to accept transgendered. This was a space for black WOMEN to learn to celebrate US and our natural hair and not men parading as females. This is insulting to black women to consider him a woman. You have lost a supporter since 2008.
Bye lol No one is forcing you to do anything. Iโm sure you clicked this article and typed that comment all of your own free will. Iโm sure BGLH wonโt miss you if youโre views are that bigoted anyway.
Bye
Fuck you and your โsupportโ
You transphobic piece of dog shit.
The world is evolving, and it has become more understanding and accepting of everyone and their differences. Youโre a relic of a very negative past that none of us will miss.
actually, in some parts of the world there is a third gender. imo, trans people should occupy this category. the world is evolving, but not necessarily as you think it should.
Dajewel is not a piece of shit & she is not transphobic. She doesnโt have to endorse anything she doesnโt want to. You donโt have to get personal with her; if you disagree with her fine. But getting personal because perhaps she is telling the truth?
Bye.
โThis is a MAN.โ
I agree dajewel
You are so ignorant not long ago white people were asking society to stop โforcingโ them to accept black ppl as human beings. I hate ppl like you
Youโre reaching! Not accepting a transwoman as a real woman is not the same as whites not accepting blacks as human beings. No matter how many horomones a transwoman takes, or what they believe they were meant to be, their DNA still says male. Itโs a biological fact.
Wanting the focus to be back to hair is understandable but transphobia is not.I donโt understand people who discriminate against other minorities when they know how it feels themselves.
Thank you very much
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I agree with you 10,000%. It was interesting at first with non hair articles but yes this is just crazy. Iโm glad to know Iโm not the only one looking in this kool aid cup like โwhat is this crap your trying to get me to drink???!!!? And yes that is a MAN!!!!
I wonder how many trans-men are allowed in Cis-Heteromale spaces, and this is more a critique to our male patriarchic society. Will trans-men cover menโs magazines in the same way Laverne Cox has Essence etc? Some form of privilege has to exist for a man to turn himself into a woman and demand a place in the spaces of black women created *by* black women but not have the same to be reciprocated, no?. Please educate me!
And Ayanna, โYou transphobic piece of dog shit.โ comment is no more understanding and accepting than the original commentatorsโ.
Thank you! I thought that I was only one that was thinking this. What is wrong with society? Most black women gets mad when they see a โbrotherโ with any other women than a white woman, but we applaud gay behavior. What people do is their own business, but when someone is against it then itโs wrong for us to have a opinion, because it not the thought of the majority. Too be normal now days is the wrong thing to do.
AGREE.
The fact that so many people agree with you is really sad.
I know that parts of our community can be closed minded and bigoted, but this is actually disgusting.โฆ.
Transphobia is not okay.โฆ
Thank you!!!
Natural beautyโฆsurgery and pills plus bleaching
Our societyโs idea of natural beauty is now so warped lol
It really is lol!
No matter the means, sheโs still attractive and I prefer this look on her than all of the wigs she normally wears.
Waiting for season 4. OITNB is sooo good
wowโฆhe actually looks like a real woman, way better than with all the makeup
Very pretty, butโand I donโt mean to stir in troubleโdoes she bleach her skin?? I ask because I recently saw old pics of her in a forum from about 10 years ago, and her skin tone was significantly darker than this. Even when you compare her to her brother, who is her identical twin, the only real difference between their appearance is the fact that his skin is about 10 shades darker than hers. I donโt want to stand in judgement, but I would like to know if skin bleaching is something that black women are casually taking part in… Read more »
By the darkness around her eyes I can see why you would assume thatโฆ It appears that she was of a browner complexion. Eye darkening due to aging appears differently beaides sheโs quite young.
Could be make up, exfoliation, hormones treatments, chemical peels or cosmetic but i doubt she bleaches her skin. Google Vybz Kartel and compare.
Definitely bleaching. I saw a pic of her and her brother when they were around 7. Completely identical, and both the same chocolate-colored skin tone. Now weโre supposed to believe that while her brother stayed a Kelly Rowland, she โmagicallyโ lightened into a Beyonce. LOL sure! Combine this with her comments that she wanted to narrow and thin out her nose to make it more โfeminineโ and that will give you the insight you need into what type of mentality she possesses concerning her features. But of course you know how people are with celebrities. Itโs easier to self delude… Read more »
I kind of hate questions like these because itโs speculation delivered as accusation. Lighter skin on black women does not equate to โskin bleachingโ as I see so often. Itโs like when Rihanna goes to Barbados during the summer and becomes darker, but in the winter sheโs lighter and people accuse her of skin bleaching. Itโs like, put two and two together, the sun DOES affect black individuals too. If you looked at pictures of me from when I was younger Iโm significantly darker then than I am now. Thatโs because I grew by the beach and went to the… Read more »
When i stared to wear makeup,like foundation my skinned lightened a lot due to basically very little sun exposure. Maybe that is why? She wears a lot of make up a lot of the time.
I think she looks better bare faced.
She looks a lot better without all that heavy makeup.
This comment is full of nonsense. Black woman will get paid less and get less jobs because of sexism and racism, not because transgender women are entering the workforce. You donโt agree with families that โdonโt procreateโ? So if a woman canโt bear children, you dont agree with that family? If a grandmother raises her grandchildren alone, you donโt agree with that family? If a gay couple adopts a child that was previously unwanted by straight people, you donโt agree with that family? Nonsense! Trans women are out here getting MURDERED for being themselves (at higher rates than cis people)… Read more »

Amazed, saddened and disgusted with the amount of bigoted views expressed in the comment section. Remember, karma is a bitch. God will send you exactly that which you hate and donโt accept.
We need our own space. Not this.
Sheโs Elven! I say that with all the Elven love in my heartโฆ xoxo
Fact.
I do not support that crap. Theyโre bullies to the tenth power. Why would an adult want to use a restroom with little girls knowing theyโre not the same gender. A company is making a tampon product for these sick individuals. They want to change woman to person dealing with breastfeeding. I read it briefly ..itโs along those lines that they want things changed. This is not OK .. I want people to be happy but want about the happiness and respect of natural born women.
Respecting trans-peopleโs BASIC human rights does not equate to taking away rights for women. I am also not sure where you are getting your information about โtampons for trans peopleโ from. Trans women are not worried about breast feeding- they are worried about simple shit like, oh I dunno, getting a job and basic healthcare. Oh, and not being murdered for being trans. Also, trans people do not attack little girls in bathrooms (or little boys for that matter). I have yet to read where this has happened in a high frequency. In fact, Europe has many countries that have unisex… Read more »
Donโt do church ppl. I stand by what I say. I donโt support them. You have your views I have mines.. ๐
First off..this opens doors for men to dress as women. Iโm not saying the transgenders will assault women. This opens doors for sick ppl to do sick stuff. Youโve gotta think about the bigger picture. You support them ..good for you
โThis opens doors for sick ppl to do sick stuff. โ
Sick people will do sick people stuff regardless of the law. And there is no law that makes it legal to harass anyone in the bathroom, regardless of gender.
See..ppl like you want to point to church and schools. That isnโt the topic! Youโre trying to sound right until youโve let the perverts slip in. Weโre talking about the domino effect this will cause. Stay on the path..magic tricks donโt work on me.
Why would they make a tampon? A trans MTF doesnโt have a cycle.
The tampons release a synthetic blood.
If people wanna get married they will get married it literally has nothing to do with trans people. :/
fyi, there are trans folks who are married.
She is a natural beauty. Look at her bone structure.
The queen she is! Simply beautiful!!!
BGLH, Cox does not support black women, nor do they care about black women. Cox fiercely defended anther trans woman who murdered a 13 year old black girl named Ebony Williams. The trans-person Cox was defending was trying to get transfered to a womenโs prison and Cox was this personโs biggest advocate. Cox also sat back and giggled while an adult white man made fun of then 15 year old black actress Amandla Stenberg on television. Stenberg was literally calling out racism and cultural appropriation and this individual (Cox) didnโt even defend her. Coxโs character on OTNB is also pretty… Read more »
Laverne looks so much better like this! Wow!
Iโm starting to think that black women are ok with the majority of them being single. Without a man or being a single mother. I see so many black women supporting this transgender movement but not as supportive of straight black men, or the future of the black family. Because one doesnโt agree with families that donโt procreate that doesnโt make them transphobic. Many of you donโt see whatโs happening on a mass level. I think many little girls are going to grow up without a husband even more in the future due to mass incarceration, as well as situations… Read more »
I agree with all you said.
Very nice poof. Nice hair! I know thereโll be bigoted comments, so I wonโt bother scrolling further down, lol.
