ATTITUDE: Laverne Cox talks with Attitude about her featured role in Promising Young Woman, one of the best movies of the year. Interestingly, her character's gender ID is a nonissue in the film — more of this! Laverne says of this development:
Well, I’ve been very lucky that I’ve had a few of those opportunities lately. I was in a film called Bad Hair that came out [last] year where it wasn’t stated in the script whether [the character] is trans or not. So, yeah, for sure. And what’s wonderful about that is that it’s a testament to Emerald and all the writers and producers, casting directors who are like, “Wait, let’s consider this actor because of their talent and because of what they can bring to the role, not because of their gender.” So I am really grateful that that wasn’t a consideration. Or maybe it was, but it’s not in the script. I have no idea what [Emerald’s] take [is] — we’ve never talked about me being trans; it’s just never come up. I spend most of my life in public talking about being trans — and I love being trans, trans is beautiful — but it’s lovely that it’s not the only thing that I have to offer, my trans-ness.
