This is Fresh Air. I'm Tanya Mosley, and my guest today is Laverne Cox. Chances are, you met her the way most of the world did. A transgender woman in prison, doing hair and fighting for her right to gender-affirming care in the Netflix series Orange is the New Black. Listen, doc, I need my dosage.
I've given five years, $80,000 in my freedom for this. I'm finally who I'm supposed to be. Do you understand? I can't go back. Clark.
I'd like to help you. Unfortunately, you have elevated levels of AST and ALT, which could mean liver damage. That's bull. That could mean anything. We're gonna take you off your hormones entirely until we can schedule an ultrasound, get a clean read.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (45 minutes, 8,032 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
