Transgender kids and adults have become a political punching bag
for conservatives — but Laverne Cox is stepping into the ring. Kara
talks with the transgender activist, Emmy award-winning producer
and four-time Emmy-nominated actor, known for her groundbreaking
role as Sophia Burset in Orange is The New Black, about the Trump
campaign’s $200+ million spend on anti-trans ads during the
election (and the Harris campaign’s lack of response); why Meta’s
decision to no longer monitor hate speech could lead to more gender
violence, and not just against trans kids; and how to stay
resilient in the fight for civil and human rights (including
packing a go bag). Plus: Laverne and Kara bust myths in a speed
round about gender-affirming care, which is being targeted by laws
across the country, and talk about her upcoming Prime Video comedy
series Clean Slate. Questions? Comments? Email us at
