Cox noted that it brought tears in her eyes when she read the script that explained about the assault faced by Sophia in her own salon.

"I'm a lover not a fighter. I was bullied a lot as a kid, and I always ran from the bullies," Cox said, reported People. "A lot of that came back when I was in that scene and our director ... wanted me to be strong and sort of this defiant person and that's not really who I am. I run."

Cox, the first transgender to play the role of transgender in any show noted that violence against the third gender is a big issue these days and she was concerned that such assault scenes could trigger the emotions of such people. But she was however convinced that it is important "story to tell - and tell truthfully."
