Netflix drama Orange is the New Black, used her recent appearance on The Daily Show to raise awareness of the disinformation surrounding anti-trans legislation and campaigning.During the appearance, Cox drew attention to the surge in anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation across the US, including the 25 stats that banned transgender under-18s from accessing gender-affirming care.“Thanks for making sure schools don’t teach about sexual orientation or gender identity, because pretending trans kids don’t exist means they disappear, just like pretending climate change doesn’t exist… it disappears too!,” she said, before jokingly adding, “So I guess we will never know why my tits are sweating in December.”Cox then highlighted that Donald Trump and the Republican part have spent $65 million (£49 million) on campaign ads pushing anti-trans rhetoric.Hitting back at the ads, Cox said: “Do you know how disappointing it is for someone to finally spend $65 million on me and it’s for this crap? I didn’t want hateful attack ads. I wanted a house in the Hills with six walk-in closets!”She continued: “This is straight out of the bigotry handbook, using dehumanising language on marginalised groups provides a permission structure to attack them, because, when people are rendered no longer human, you can take away their rights, [and] commit violence against them with impunity.”Cox went on to reference the ongoing legal dispute between North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson and CNN, which reported in September that the Republican left a series of disturbing comments on a pornography website before entering politics.

I’m so glad you have freedom,” Matthews, the evening’s host, said from the stage in an awkward attempt to recognize the protester. “Well, that was uncomfy for all of us, but we have to fight for everyone’s rights.
