The organization issued a statement claiming they knew nothing about Synthia China Blast's charges either. While I seriously doubt that, as they also support another inmate convicted of possession of child porn, I don't believe Laverne Cox was aware of the charges at the time she made the video. She has since requested the video be removed (it was) and has clarified her stance on violence against children on her Tumblr account. She could've done a better job of researching this individual prior to becoming involved. It wasn't smart. But I doubt she'd jeopardize her career by knowingly supporting a baby killer.
And, she is a she, despite what your quotes around the word would imply. You might have a better shot of garnering support for your position if you didn't come off as disrespectful.
