The out transgender icon joined trans trailblazer Ts Madison on her podcast to discuss being dragged for her nearly four-year relationship with a “blonde-haired, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer.”
“I don’t want anyone to think that I’m above accountability for to my community who was hurt. There were people who were genuinely hurt by that information, who were fans of mine who unfollowed me and will and never f with me, fuck with me again. There were people who were disappointed. They were people who had all kinds of other narratives going on.”
Cox didn’t leave out that enemies of the trans community had their own agenda.
“I can distinguish that there were good faith critiques and then there were people who were ready, they have been laying in wait to come for me, and I’m like ‘Go for it,’ like ‘Live your life,’” she said. “As a public figure who has a politicized brand I’m accountable to my people. I have a life, I live my life, I’m going to make mistakes. I’m going to do my thing, but I’m not above reproach and I can be held accountable.”
I wholeheartedly don’t understand how she was able to date the dude, and it’s certainly sleeping with the enemy, but I think her response is also really mature and it’s obvious that the emotional and logical aspects of the situation were fighting pretty hard.
More disappointing than enraging. Hope she’s able to be with someone that isn’t actively sabotaging her existence.
