Republican politicians and pundits began zeroing in on trans rights, and Hollywood followed suit, scaling back its trans representation.
Mary MorganHOST
Laverne Cox actually shared that she had lost 90% of her income amid Trump and his minions' war on trans people and DEI."
Brett DasovicHOST
Is that, like, one of those, like-
Mary MorganHOST
"A steep pace that's even affected Lily Wachowski."

Mary MorganHOST
... an action film with an all-trans cast.
Mary MorganHOST
They say, "It seemed like culture was at a point where it was starting to embrace trans voices, but has since taken several steps back." Lilly Wachowski says, "You're right.
Mary MorganHOST
We were at this tipping point where you had Laverne Cox on the cover of Time Magazine, and that was this moment in time where we pushed this idea of trans rights as far as it had gotten.
Mary MorganHOST
And then it's not that public opinion shifted." Again, you're delusional for thinking that.
Steve VHOST
Totally.
Steve VHOST
Yeah, so, um, how do you feel about the number of opportunities that is available to you as a trans person, and for queer people in general? Because I was watching an, an interview with Laverne Cox, and she was saying that a lot of opportunities in this climate, in this political climate, have dried up.
Steve VHOST
I was wondering about your perspective on that, and how you feel about where that's going or where, how you foresee it.
Maria Van CartierGUEST
It did, it did dry up significantly-

Doug WalkerHOST
his contract to balance out something really good he's done he has to do something really awful around the same time?
Clarkson LawsonHOST
I don't understand.
Clarkson LawsonHOST
Okay, I get the wanting a masculine man type of stuff, but I saw Laverne Cox do another clip about how all these straight men want to fuck.
Clarkson LawsonHOST
and like all this stuff and it's like you guys sound like men talking about sex all the time like this is not very like if you really and that's fine like if you're a very sexual person you want to talk about sex I'm not judging you for talking about sex but specifically from Kelly it's like she wants to reinforce gender norms because she's saying that Her being trans is more natural than being gay because gay people essentially are go against gender norms.
Clarkson LawsonHOST
But like if she wants to follow gender norms, you might need to shut up and stop being like that if you want to reinforce them because she's being overly sexual.

Lewd Alfred DouglasGUEST
I think that I think that it really depends on how that comes across.
Lewd Alfred DouglasGUEST
I think that if it's a hugely for-profit production like a Hollywood film, and you have a cis actor, or a TV show, you have a cis actor playing a trans character, why on earth couldn't you have given that job to someone who really needs it? And I, and I get that you need to sometimes have like a big name, but, um, there's, there's no reason why, and Laverne Cox is, is kind of confirming this for us.
Lewd Alfred DouglasGUEST
There's no reason why a trans performer can't achieve stardom and, um, the performance is gonna be authentic, and I get that actors can play whatever they want, but trans actors have been, and trans performers have been actively not playing themselves for a very long time.
Lewd Alfred DouglasGUEST
And if you're accepting that role, why are you accepting that role when you know you could be lifting someone else up? And it
