What are the immediate impacts of the current anti-trans legislative and political climate on the trans community, and how does Cox propose to address these issues?

Laverne Cox, while promoting her new series "Clean Slate," highlighted the intense backlash against trans visibility, citing $215 million spent on anti-trans ads in the last election and various state-level legislative attacks on trans rights. She emphasized the importance of trans representation in media as a means of fostering empathy and rehumanizing the trans community, which constitutes less than 1% of the US population.
