"The function of violence in this world, I believe, is to attempt to put people 'in their places.' I learned at an early age that violence toward me would be a potential consequence of me daring to step out of place, and I never knew my place when it came to gender. Though they said I was a boy when I was born, I never acted the way boys were allegedly supposed to. Those kids who chased me home from school every day during my elementary and junior high school years were trying to put me in my place." -- Laverne Cox, 2011-11-18
