(The Week) – On Thursday, Time revealed the cover for its June 9 issue, featuring transgender actress Laverne Cox. Cox, who stars in Orange Is the New Black, symbolizes “the transgender tipping point,” Time says, and her cover represents an inflection point for TIME, too: Cox is the first transgender person to make its cover:
