“I would never be so arrogant to think that someone should model their life after me. But the idea of possibility… the idea that I get to live my dreams out in public, hopefully will show to other folks that it’s possible. So I prefer the term ‘possibility model’ to ‘role model.”

“I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms.

― Laverne Cox
