Laverne Cox Says She Knows Plenty Of Famous Men Who Secretly Date Trans Women

Actress Laverne Cox is spilling the tea on celebrity men who 'secretly' date trans women. During an episode of her E! series If We're Being Honest, she appeared alongside actress Angelica Ross (Pose, Chicago), and the ladies talked about the difficulties of dating while trans.

Here's what Laverne had to say:

“I think it’s deeply problematic when people hear that a famous man is with a trans woman and they automatically think and say that he’s gay. Because that is disavowing the womanhood of trans women and it is also not acknowledging that sexuality exists on a spectrum and that people can be into a trans woman and just be completely straight. You can be pansexual, you can be bisexual… there’s so many different things, and it should all be okay.”

“It’s so exhausting,” Cox continued. “I can’t believe in 2022 we’re still dealing with stigma and that there are so many celebrities, famous men, who are terrified of people finding out that they’re sleeping with trans women. I honestly can’t even believe it, I really can’t.”

I'm so glad my trans sisters Laverne and Angelica are speaking out about this, because it is definitely a conversation that needs to be had.
