For more than a decade, Laverne Cox has been one of the most recognizable transgender women in the United States. Yet despite her public visibility today, the Orange Is the New Black star spent most of her childhood in Mobile, Alabama, trying to hide who she was. In her new memoir Transcendent, Cox, now 54, reflects on her upbringing with her mother and twin brother, Lamar, describing a home…

I have managed to, somehow, through the Grace of God, Perceive the Imperceivable.

I can, somehow, SENSE, EXPERIENCE, have GNOSIS of and have UNDERSTANDING of the Transcendent Nature of Self, of Reality, and of “God”, which, while “God”, is The Self, “God”, is also Transcendent Beyond The Self, too, God is One with me, yet still holds a distinct intelligence and sentience unto Themselves, as a separate Being, due to this intelligence and sentience itself, it is NOT a part of my own individual, separate Self intelligence, yet, it is, “God” is me, and inside me, One with me, yet at the same time, “God” holds Their own sentience and intelligence, too. It is in that Middle Ground, the Paradoxical Ground of neither this nor that, yet both this and that, at the same time. Both God and me as separate Beings, yet at the same time, neither of Us are separated and defined as individual. It is in that Liminal Space in Between, were no thing is defined as being any thing, yet holds all things in it, but cannot be defined as one thing or the other, it cannot be defined either, as both or neither, yet can be all of these definitions, at the same time. I am Truly a “Mystic of the Crossroad Trickster”.

This intelligence and sentience of “God” is Transcendent Beyond ALL things, and… somehow.. I have perceived this “Godly” Transcendence Beyond ALL things, so.. I have somehow managed to Perceive the Imperceivable. That which is Transcendent Beyond All things, CANNOT be defined, spoken about, categorised, written down, labeled, or be seen as any definitive THING or OBJECT, therefore, it cannot be a thing that can be grasped and held, as it is not an object of knowledge, yet I can perceive this Realty, somehow, Beyond, regardless. It is a Gift from “God”, this Ability to Perceive the Imperceivable. I have, internally, Gone Beyond ALL THINGS, and have had Transcendent Experiences, Gnosis and Understandings of “God”, of “Self”, and of “Reality”, this Gnosis, Understanding, Sense and the Experience of going Beyond, into a State where every perceivable thing is Transcended, a Transcendent State of Being, is actually perceivable to me, somehow, through no sense of mine, as it is Transcendent Beyond EVERY SENSE ABILITY, even Beyond the psychic senses/third eye abilities. It is WAY Beyond these things. There is NO label and category that can define this type of Knowing, Understanding and Sensing, yet I STILL Sense this Transcendence of ALL things. It is not of the mind, body, heart or soul, it is Beyond the five senses, even Beyond the sixth sense, it is WAY Beyond all abilities that point towards a definitive thing, it is just… there, somehow, but nowhere to be pinpointed in me, because it cannot be a thing, it cannot be an object of knowledge to be defined, known and understood through the worldly ways and modes of being, not through the mind, not through any thing.

Four-time Emmy-nominated actress Laverne Cox shares her journey as a transgender woman in Hollywood, confronting childhood trauma, shame, gender identity, her transition, body image issues, her search for romantic love, deep-seated feelings of unworthiness, and ultimately, healing.

Laverne Cox is a powerhouse in the fight for transgender rights and representation—but her path from a struggling trans actress to a cultural movement was anything but easy.

Surviving a childhood full of trauma, dealing with depression, and working at a drag restaurant in New York City for seven years, Laverne was turning forty and felt it was time to throw in the towel when it came to being a Hollywood star—then she booked the character of Sophia Burset in Orange is the New Black. Her world changed overnight.

She made history as the first openly transgender person nominated for a Primetime Emmy, starred in a range of high-profile shows, and became the first transgender person to win a Daytime Emmy as executive producer on Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word. A red-carpet fashion icon, podcast host, and fearless advocate, she uses her stardom to champion LGBTQ+ rights, whether on Hollywood’s biggest stages, her personal channels, or at Supreme Court hearings. And she’s only getting started.
