Laverne Cox is ready to move forward after tweeting about a "deeply traumatizing" airport pat down last week.
"It's been a while since I've had a pat down and I think just having a stranger touch me all over my body, I wasn't ready for it and it just brought up all this trauma and I started crying that day," Cox told ET's Cameron Mathison on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet. "It was deeply traumatizing for me."

The Orange Is the New Black actress tweeted about the Jan. 24 incident, declaring: "It's deep how unsafe I felt so that we could all be 'safer.'"
"It was just really emotional having a stranger go through every article of my clothing -- but I'm not the only person who's gone through that," Cox told ET on Sunday. "I'm over it. I've done the work and I'm ready for the next time it happens."
