seabeck you're the. people of got to know whether or not fair presenter six people deserve to know the answer first at this point does it many must guard against the military industrial . we shall never in the cold. war you should know that there is still yes we do but. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't

tell when you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every we can you know what they're working. there earlier today president obama said of them not. responsible points new people and parents always told. us always seen examples of things you need to hear something else tina in the usa or she will see if you're planning symptoms to some . as in that's the end user so it's. always all the garbage in real.

on mary. came i really wanted to teach women of every brains. gender how to be beautiful and not only on the outside but on the inside because that's where it all starts i always felt female but i've experienced the male life and i do understand how people reacted to someone. and that's the difference that i i i you know things change when you transition. the way people talk to you the way life and transferring created tools always said unless you look only trans people should play trench characters your group. is going to be on trains i am actually it was

a person you'd trade places with for. donald trump and then i'd resign all next on larry king. welcome to larry king now our guest today is actress performance artist and one of the original transgender icons candace kane known for nip tuck dirty sexy money ru paul's drag race and caitlin jenner's docu series i am kate candace is going a long time not give us for the community and their new book is high gorgeous transforming inner brought into radiant beauty it will be released june twentieth and it's available for preorder now why did you write it girl came up to me at drag con a year ago and said to me you are so gorgeous and i said you know you are too. too

and she said no i'm not and there was this beautiful little girl and i was like why is this girl not believing she's gorgeous so i really wanted to teach women of every race age gender how to be beautiful and not only on the outside but on the inside because that's where it all starts why do beautiful women of this over many years looked in the mirror and not see their beauty i think that they have a really high bar of other people telling them this constantly and so they start but they tell them they're pretty they have to live up to that and that's part of the problem with with you know the voices in your head is that they tell you things to bring you down and in you have to kind of learn how to fight through those little voices do you think in your own case having been a man that you have some more insight into this of course i mean i know

i mean i always felt female but i did there wasn't a word for it you know so i i but i've experienced the male life and under understand how people reacted to me as someone who was male and that's the difference that i i know you know really mean i things change when you transition just the way people talk to you the way life happens you know caitlin jenner wrote the forward to your book and she writes i've learned where some of qantas's confidence comes from it comes from a beautiful soul in many is a purging those voices of self-doubt that say you're not good enough you're not pretty enough you're not feminine. great complement amazing so sweet did you think for a time you were gay yeah i actually came out twice because there wasn't a word for trans and so i was attracted to men and i thought ok i felt female but i

didn't know what that man i didn't they we didn't have google back then and you know it even so why didn't you just leave it gay because your gender identity and your sexual identity are two totally different things. so i realize that it wasn't how i felt wasn't my sexual identity it was more about my gender identity and how i felt in my mind because i was raised by parents that were always accepting. treated me with respect told me i could do anything i wanted to do i was able to make a decision and not be weighed down by it you know was coming out very hard or not because your parents were so liberal it was hard in the fact that you're discovering these new things about yourself and to tell them vocally to your parents it's really kind of hard. like came out at

seventeen. to my parents at nineteen and then as trans they came out at twenty four and they had all all of it well yeah i mean they were they this was in one nine hundred eighty nine are you know so this was really and in an era where it was ok to abuse the l g b t community they were scared for me. but they knew that they had raised me in a way that i would make good decisions and i'd be able to take care of myself are there many many transgenders who have never come out and who people think they're women or people think them and yeah i mean most of i mean a lot of trans people are able to not a lot but some are able to transition and then just kind of blend into society for me i was an actress and a performer and i didn't want to go that route and i also wanted to fight for my

community because i i mean the t. word was and even when i started my transition the t. world t word wasn't even in the l g b t sign. there was no tea in that fine transfer and greeted jill salo as said last year that only trans people should play trend characters do you agree yes. i mean there's different there's different levels of that i mean you have another. i am actually i did like a day walk on with alexandria billings i played one of her friends at the pool and it became oh my god that they get to you know how many there are no i mean there's no there is i mean there's certain you know there's certain kind of statistics but they're very vegan because a lot of the trans community disappears because of you know homophobia and

transphobia i don't know there really is so much is there are gays statistics what eight percent is that i guess well we would like to now but apparently this year we're being. taken out of the census so who's to now i guess is the irrepressible candace came when discussing trans rights and president trump two after the break and the book is high gorgeous cover. this is a book of tips for every woman alive young old transgender whatever yeah exactly i mean it's it's a it's a book that talks to people about how to get inner confidence and then go to the outer beauty jewels have this i always thought that the book is high gorgeous it will be available june twentieth you can order without the beautiful candace can

look at these pictures pictures throughout the books tips throughout the book delicious decor how to wear things how to wear dresses how to wear diamonds how to put lipstick on men i could be to see you get turned on. if you have been outspoken in your criticism of donald trump i know many years the first thing he said when asked about o.j. beatty when he was running was i have hotels if they pay and they could use any bedroom they want and then he changed. how did you react to that the real donald that i knew. why i mean he's obviously probably playing to his base you know trying to keep that real hard core right core together you know is surrounded around tennis group yeah. the problem with that is that when you become president you don't become president to forty percent of the country so what do you make of them i think that he's

a narcissist and he has that. overinflated ego he doesn't listen to anybody he doesn't read anything and his only answer to most questions are one hundred forty characters do you think he has been especially rough for the o g b t community yes in the sense that he's surrounded his self in his cabinet with people who are outspoken people against the gay community mike pence his vice president talking about conversion therapy hearing and hearing of the gay i mean it doesn't make any sense that with just even with all the facts of the science and everything nowadays that you you have people that want to shun science in fact for their religious you know freedom it doesn't make a one who's a fundie yeah if she is conservative yeah and we've gotten into it boy you are the

she's not pro trump. but to her she is conservative she is conservative and we you know we have some debate i mean you saw it on season two of i am kate. i think that. when you get down to the knitting nitty gritty if you're a true conservative you can actually have conversations with liberals and you can argue your fact and then at the end of the day let that go and still become friends and have relationships i mean. nowadays we live in such a poisoned decide it's such a heavy tension in the air. so i didn't want to ever with with kate i didn't want to to carry that into our friendship and i think that was the point that people missed about the show is that they wanted to focus on that and then not just

allow. them to see all of us as who we really are you know so you always had this inner gumption in your stand up person who was a been that way when you were a kid yeah as much as they could and when you transformed you know the surgery and everything you know look how you looked you could have blended in you never had to be candice came you could have been candace can what i bring to this came right right because well i've given who knew or know that you're not a woman well i would and i saw the stuff that was going on and i wanted to be an actress and i never wanted to be in a situation like people will someone will always know your past and instead of being this is for me personally instead of being afraid of talking about my past i wanted to be open about it so i wouldn't be in

a situ if i'd never be in a situation where it would come out in an inopportune time if i'm out in addition. you know i would never want to try to become an actress as as not myself in any mean what was it like. the first. as candace you would know where the man. well it was liberating i mean i would dress you yeah i mean or she would know i was the maze one is the nice to be the friday that oh what was it like to date men as a woman it was freeing it was liberating i felt like my i felt like myself for the first time you know and i i remember thinking you know nothing ever really worked out when i was trying to date man is a man there was never

a connection and they didn't you know but you know i just felt like i was truly myself in that in those situations and that happened in all over the cabin of my life just like walking down the street every day i remember the first time i threw away all my clothes and i went to the airport i had planned a trip to europe and it was the first time i was living as canada and i i you know walked up to the lady checking tickets and you know she was like thank you ma'am go right in and it was just like you know little things like that most people would never remember but it had such a huge impact on me how do you fear your voices so for them well this is the voice that i've always had. lucky i now this is the hair i've always had to. leave if the right person comes along so far you have a goal yeah in medicine now you know i've i've had some come close come close

but i realize that i mean my parents were married fifty five years last week and so i always had this ideal of what it was supposed to be having to have a successful life you know and after my last long term relationship ended i was like that might be just because they're who they are and they're perfect for each other and i might not find that but it's ok i'm happy alone until i find somebody that i don't have to compromise myself more than fifty percent you know any i mean more than half the relationship coming up candace her family and fandom count as close so advice for young trans speedboats struggling to find acceptance we'll be right back.

our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that emerged fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most diluted society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians bore into celebrity our two ruling parties are in reality one party corporate. those who attempt to disguise breathalysed universal to be designed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the little or force so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice to squeak. against an avalanche squeak we must. play. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't

tell the big picture we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. please. call the feeling you're going to. everyone in the world should experience fleas and you'll get the old. the old according to just. walk up to my world come along for the ride. with gorgeous she's gorgeous the book is hi gorgeous candace came transforming in a bar into radiant beauty has said that when you were young there was an award for trans what did you think you were. for you were if you like to be in the wrong body

right just remember you know going and playing one afternoon when i was they six or seven and with my cousins who were twins a boy and a girl and me and my twin brother and they we were all playing together i remember thinking why am i not like tania this doesn't make sense that was at seven having not thought you know whether when brother have a twin brother and he is a male male i have you know married nieces and nephews you dedicated the book to your parents and your brother who you wrote encouraged me to thrive as my authentic self for my entire life now or to advice would you give to young woman you know men watching this show maybe fourteen fifteen feeling they're in the wrong body. i would say live your true authentic self be who you are supposed to be when the time is right if you're in a hairy situation and it's not possible it's ok to wait

a couple of years to get around people your tribe family members that are going to understand who you are and make it a safe and positive transition you know you have to do the surgery no. you don't i know i mean most of the community did really is as you know i think i stopped talking about surgery none of my business yeah i mean a lot of people that but i would think it was just i would this is a male thought if i want to hobble full and complete life i would do the surgery right. but whose full and complete life are you wanting to have everybody has different definitions of a full and complete life most sexual intercourse would be part of a full and complete life write it in your definition only definition i know right they. play
