Meghan Murphy, a "feminist" blogger, recently wrote a blog criticizing Laverne Cox's recent Allure photo shoot. The post was not only sexist, but transphobic.In her blog, Murphy wrote, "Is it really a sign that we “love everything about ourselves” if we alter our bodies through surgery and hormones?"
The blog is a response to Cox's self-love she shares with the magazine. She admitted to her interviewer:
"I know I have a nude photo shoot tomorrow, but I want to have mac ’n’ cheese tonight. I don’t like to talk too much about this, but I was my biggest weight during that photo shoot, and so I was like, Gotta love yourself. You got to embrace all of this."
Cox is showing just another way she is empowering women, and especially the trans* community, to love themselves.
