Laverne Cox, a transgender actress and author promoting her memoir “Transcendent: A Memoir,” says her income has declined by about 90% in recent years. She attributes the drop to what she describes as political and policy changes in the Trump administration affecting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and related protections for “gender ideology” and gender identity. Multiple outlets report Cox linking the downturn to fewer corporate speaking engagements and other professional opportunities that rely on DEI-focused programs. She says she has had to draw on savings and retirement funds to stay afloat, describing the past year or two as especially difficult. Some reports also note Cox expressing concern about transgender people with fewer resources, arguing that the financial impact is likely to be more severe for those who are less privileged. While outlets differ in how they characterize the administration’s actions, all describe Cox’s central claim: a major income loss that she connects to DEI rollbacks and broader opposition to gender-identity-related initiatives.
