The Orange Is The New Black actress Laverne Cox doesn"t want to "feminise" her face like Caitlyn Jenner

 Laverne Cox has opened up about her own reasons for not having surgery to change her looks

Bruce Jenner spent over $70,000 on plastic surgery to look very feminine as he transformed into Caitlyn Jenner but the world’s most popular transgender actress Laverne Cox says she has no interest in feminizing her face like Caitlyn because she is happy being imperfect.

Speaking in a new interview with The Guardian, The Orange Is The New Black actress opened up about her own reasons for not having surgery to change her looks

“I have been picking myself apart my whole life. I have never talked about the medical details of my transition, and a lot of people assume I’ve had all this surgery. Years ago, I wanted really highly invasive surgical procedures to feminise my face. All these years later, I have the money to do it, but I don’t want it. I don’t want it! I’m happy that this is the face that God gave me, and it’s imperfect.”

“I don’t want it! I’m happy that this is the face that God gave me, and it’s imperfect.”

She also explained her decision to not focus on Caitlyn’s physical beauty in a blog post updated earlier this month.

Laverne explained she wasnted to discuss an issue beyond “cisnormative beauty standards”.

She added: “I thought there was a conversation that was not being had.

“It was about me wanting to acknowledge all those trans folks out there who don’t have access to health care, who don’t embody cisnormative beauty standards, even that cisnormative beauty standards are deeply problematic.”

Transgender: Orange Is the New Black" actress Laverne Cox poses nude for Allure magazine

Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox admits that she first turned down the opportunity to pose naked for Allure magazine‘s nude issue.

“Going through life, you try to cover and hide, but it doesn’t really work,” the 30-year-old Orange Is the New Black star explains. “I said no initially, thought about it, and said no again.”

The star posed nude for the new issue of Allure magazine. The 30-year-old transgender actress rocked the shoot but said she’d initially said no to posing nude.

“I said no initially, thought about it, and said no again,’ she told the publication. “But I’m a black transgender woman. I felt this could be really powerful for the communities that I represent. Black women are not often told that we’re beautiful unless we align with certain standards. Trans women certainly are not told we’re beautiful.”
