She also goes on to open up about her dating life, saying:

“As a black transgender woman, I’ve often been kept a secret by the men I’ve dated.”

The mag’s Editor-in-Chief Holly Meadows said of the monumental move happening in honor of Valentine’s Day:

“[We wanted to] disrupt hetero-normative ideas around February and Valentine’s Day and look at love in 2018 ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ including acceptance of self, others and non-binary relationships. [Cox is] the world’s most vocal trans poster girl and an activist for the intersection of race, class and gender identities, challenging toxic masculinity, white supremacy and the misrepresentation of trans people.”
