American Transgender actress, Laverne Cox is on the cover of this week’s Time magazine, only a month after fans responded to Cox not being included in the magazine’s annual list of the year’s most influential people.Continue after the cut...
Cox is featured as the face of the magazine’s cover story “The Transgender Tipping Point” which was written by Katy Steinmetz (currently only available to Time subscribers).
The cover features a full-length portrait of the actress in a blue dress and comes on the heels of the magazine excluding her from its annual list of 100 most influential people, which came with its own controversy, and also makes her the first transgender person to land on its glossy front page. Indicentally, the magazine honored the show's creator, Jenji Kohan.
But there doesn't seem to be any animosity on Cox's end: "Thanks @TIME for this lovely bday present, a cover story 2 highlight the profound issues trans people face everyday," Cox tweeted Thursday along with a shot of the cover.
