The actress and producer has become a prominent figure for trans rights since her breakthrough role in “Orange Is the New Black.”

According to CNN reporting, a 2021 study found that 1.2 million Americans – out of a total population of around 337 million people in the country – identified as non-binary. The other “1%” Cox was referring to is often referred to as the “top 1%,” namely the richest sliver of the population.

With her new Prime Video series “Clean Slate,” actress Laverne Cox delivers laughs while tackling social issues in the trans community.
