Laverne Cox has opened up about her own #MeToo experience, revealing that she had a nonconsensual sexual encounter. “I got to confront a man that I’d had a sexual encounter with that the encounter was consensual but then something happened that wasn’t consensual. And I was able to recently confront him about that. And what was interesting to me in the confrontation is that he had no idea that his behavior was predatory…” Cox continued to discuss why a continued conversation about consent is important.
