“America’s Transformation” screams the headline on Entertainment Weekly‘s new cover with Laverne Cox, the most famous transgender actress in America, as the new Statue of Liberty. As EW says;

To be fair, Cox isn’t just a human being. She’s an icon. Walking into the NoMad bar in New York dressed in black, wearing oversize sunglasses and swinging a Gucci handbag behind her, she’s nearly seven feet tall in heels, her hair swept into an elegant updo. People turn their heads as she sashays by. She speaks and moves with the grace of a movie star from a bygone era, and yet she’s never anything less than real. Slipping behind a table, she orders small plates that honor her low-glycemic diet. Most actresses would just order a double cheeseburger and never take one bite. Not Cox. “What a waste of a cheeseburger,” she says, rolling her eyes.
