Laverne Cox “Finally” Meets Caitlyn Jenner at ‘I Am Cait’ Screening

Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner “finally” had their first in-person meeting, thanks to an advanced screening of I Am Cait.

The Orange Is the New Black star shared photos with Jenner during a preview of the E! docuseries, which was also attended by fellow transgender activists Candis Cayne, Trace Lysette, Jen Richards and Zackary Drucker.

Cox previously praised Jenner in a blog post after her Vanity Fair reveal, saying, “I am so moved by all the love and support Caitlyn is receiving. It feels like a new day, indeed, when a trans person can present her authentic self to the world for the first time and be celebrated for it so universally.”

Jenner responded on Twitter with the Cox-created hashtag, #TransIsBeautiful. “Your support means the world. Thank you for all that you do for the community.”
