Cox is thankful to have maintained a strong bond with her identical twin brother through her transition. The support came easy, as her brother M Lamar also identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community. The pair are equally as supportive in each other’s lives and careers. Lamar works as a musician and does goth-inspired performance art. His career has taken him to venues like African American Art & Culture Complex in San Francisco and Wellcome Collection in London.
The pair have even worked together on “Orange Is the New Black” (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet). In scenes that depict Cox’s character before her transition, the role was played by her supportive twin brother.
On her brother, Cox gushed, “I love my brother so much … in so many ways, he’s been my moral compass over the years. Like, I run things by him and he’s … we’re twins, so we’ve literally known each other our entire lives.” She continued, there’s a wonderful bond that we share, and there’s a tremendous amount of respect that we have for each other as artists and as human beings. So I’m really grateful that I got to share a little bit of this show and this moment with him.”
