Following Donald Trump’s election victory last week, transgender actress and host Laverne Cox expressed her deep concern for the LGBTQ+ community under his presidency.

Speaking of a new episode of Variety is just for the Variety podcastCox said he broke down in tears when it became clear he would win a second term in the White House: “He had something like 246 (electoral votes). I was like I was gone. I cried.”

“I don’t want to be too scared, but I am scared. As a public figure, with all my privileges, I am afraid and especially scared because I am a public figure. I feel like I could be targeted. I think they spent close to $100 million on anti-trans ads. It’s deeply concerning,” Cox explained.

Cox has already completed her medical transition, so she’s in a better position than many other trans people in the country, but she has to “take estrogen for the rest of her life.”

“I have to take estrogen just for health. I don’t know if that will be possible anymore,” she said.

As a result, she plans to “stock up on a bunch of estrogen” after her doctor confirms the site she’s looking at is “reputable.”

Cox said she and several trans friends of hers are so worried about Trump becoming president that they are considering leaving the US.

“We’re doing research on different cities in Europe and the Caribbean,” she said, adding that she knows of some people who want to move to the United States to states that are considered safer for LGBTQ+ people.

Cox also compared a second Trump administration, ie expected to be extremely difficult for LGBTQ+ peopleto Weimar Germany: “There was a thriving queer community in Berlin before the rise of Nazism. They attacked the Jews. They attacked immigrants, they attacked queer and trans people.”

She said she had high hopes for Vice President Kamala Harris to win because of the “ongoing attack on LGBTQ+ rights statewide,” as well as book bans that have affected “Black authors, Black queer authors” and even ” bans on AP. African American history”.

“I’m certainly concerned about LGBTQ+ rights, but I think it’s no coincidence that the attack on LGBTQ+ people, particularly trans people, is happening at the same time as there’s an organized attack on reproductive rights,” Cox added .
