Laverne Cox Gets Emotional on the Emmys Carpet: "That's Who We Are As Trans People, We Are Humans First & Foremost"

Cox and Mau's moving exchange at the Emmys highlights the importance of humanizing trans people and recognizing their shared experiences with others.

At the 74th Emmy Awards, Emmy-nominated actress Laverne Cox and actor-activist Nava Mau had a powerful exchange on the red carpet. As Mau expressed his admiration for Cox's work and her impact on the trans community, Cox became visibly emotional.

"That's who we are as trans people, we are humans first and foremost," Cox said through tears. "And we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, just like everyone else."

Cox's words resonated with many viewers, who praised her for using her platform to speak out for the rights of trans people. The exchange also highlighted the importance of humanizing trans people and recognizing their shared experiences with others.

In a world that often marginalizes and dehumanizes trans people, Cox's message is a powerful reminder that they are deserving of the same rights, respect, and dignity as everyone else. Her words are a call to action for all of us to work towards a more inclusive and just society for all.

The conversation between Cox and Mau was a reminder that the fight for trans rights is far from over. Despite the progress that has been made in recent years, trans people still face discrimination and violence at alarming rates.

We must all continue to work to create a world where trans people are safe, respected, and celebrated. We must all be allies to the trans community and work to create a more just and equitable world for all.
