The new TIME cover calls transgenderism America’s next civil rights frontier

"The Transgender Tipping Point" is TIME magazine's coverline on its next issue, calling transgenderism "America's next civil rights frontier".

By Media Mole

The cover star for the 9 June TIME magazine US edition is Laverne Cox, who plays the part of Sophia Burset in Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. She is an African-American transgender woman. TIME investigates what it calls “The Transgender Tipping Point”, and bills transgenderism as “America’s next civil rights frontier”.

Here’s the opener to the article on its website:
