i do believe we're on that road and i think that laverne cox is a great example.e worked with laverne cox for a number of years, over five years and was on the cover of "time magazine" as the transgender tipping point and then with caitlin coming out that interview with diane sawyer was viewed by more than 20 million households. for the first time in millions and millions of households they met someone who was transgender and that does a miraculous thing for acceptance. >> have you seen any change in the numbers since caitlyn jenner did the -- oh was on the cover of "vanity fair." >> we don't have automatic reporting for that. but i -- my professional guess is we'll see more people who say they know someone who is transgender and we'll see more people identifying as transgender because they know who they are. they've been struggling very quietly in the recesses of the country and now they'll have something to put a name to -- and feelings against that they are. >> you talked about a bus tour that you've done throughout the south. could you talk a little bit more a

we saw laverne cox on the cover of "time," talking about being trans. she was the first to bring this to the forefront in pop culture. now caitlyn jenner is bringing it home. there's no better magazine i think, than "vanity fair" to bring that to the fore. >> do you remember that moment for to you? just to refamiliarize our viewers with you, knowing that you had come from this -- i mean sort of like bruce jenner and the epitome of masculinity. you were the quarterback, right, playing football. this transformation. what were those first, i don't know few weeks like when you became kim? >> you know more than anything else it was just a big sense of relief. >> really? >> so when i think of what caitlyn is going through, i think about exhale for the first time in your life. i used to be really introverted and withdrawn. there's no way, for example, that i could be on this show right now as male because i would just be too self-conscious. i couldn't really tap into my core i think, is maybe a good way to say it. just a sense of relief. when you go from being
