<v Speaker 2>So enjoy the show. Okay, we've made a quick pitstop.

62
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 1>And you know, in our country it's really cool to

63
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>bash our president, right, everyone knows.

64
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>The oh bash Obama.

65
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>In Ireland they hold in reverence people who come over here.

66
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 1>For instance, when you go to Galway, they will tell

67
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you all about JFK. He was there for twenty minutes,

68
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>but they will tell you all about JFK. Martin Sheen

69
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>went to university here. Ask anybody, they will tell you,

70
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Martin Sheen, Well behind us, I don't want to say

71
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of nowhere, but we're certing about in

72
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the middle of Ireland at a gas station which has

73
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>been named Barack Obama Plaza. And it's been named that

74
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>because Barack Obama have some Irish roots in him and

75
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he did come to Ireland and they were so grateful

76
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and so happy they have named a plaza after him.

77
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Now, what can you get at the Barack Obama Plaza.

78
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>You can get supermacs, you can get gas, and you

79
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 1>can get all kinds of goodies. But the Irish in

80
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 1>the middle of their countryside to stop the gas or

81
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>at the Barack Obama Plaza. Less in America, you don't

82
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 1>always have to knock people down.

83
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He's our president. He was a good guy. They like him.

84
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Why don't we? Okay.

85
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>So, if you're driving across Ireland, you get to Money

86
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Goal and there's the Barack Obama Plaza and I'm making

87
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>this up, and you go inside and it's just like

88
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>this because his great great grandfather was from here. And

89
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>you go inside and there's this fabulous homage to Obama

90
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and there's a museum and everything there, and it was so.

91
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Cool to see. I loved it. And you know that

92
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 2>he has relatives that came from.

93
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Here, great great great grandfather.

94
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I think when you think of Barack Obama, what do you.

95
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Think of I wish he was our leader really, especially

96
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 4>over the recent shootings.

97
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, statement that he came out or.

98
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I was just do y'all laugh at us every time

99
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 1>that we've had one a week since Sandio, Do y'all

100
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>just look at us and go, what the hell are

101
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>you guys thinking?

102
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

103
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how do you feel about Barack Obama? Or

104
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a.

105
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>A big positive and as a president, you you think

106
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>he's been a good guy.

107
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Actual and Democrats.

108
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Whether we're trying gitar but Donald's Trump and all this noise, Well,

109
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>let's hope.

110
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think bus should be re elected, but there

111
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>he was.

112
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 1>So the simple question is if I said to you

113
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama, what would pop into your mind?

114
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 4>I would say that if Barack Obama ran again, he

115
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 4>would free any other contraction.

116
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So given what we've got running, yeah.

117
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not optimistic. Well Hillary, but I.

118
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Mean similar to when people kind of give out about

119
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 4>how the pope.

120
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Has behaved Kim Davis.

121
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like okay, but still in the spectrum of pope.

122
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 4>Like in a room full of very ugly, annoying people

123
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 4>who've made big mistakes and really besmirched people, he looks great.

124
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Obama similarly, occasionally doesn't strike he as a politician, right,

125
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 4>which I appreciate.

126
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>So what, so, what do you think of him now

127
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>that he's winding down.

128
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>I think he has had a very tough job, Yes,

129
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 3>And that's really all I can say, because I'm just

130
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 3>kind of not political.

131
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it's when you think about it.

132
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, he went in with such high expectations and

133
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 1>then they just fought him.

134
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>On everything everything. He had no way to do anything.

135
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>What about our level of respect for him?

136
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Do you think we respect him as much as the

137
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>rest of the world.

138
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 3>I do not think so, neither.

139
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I do not think he's respected me neither. I just

140
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 2>like that he is more about the people and and

141
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 2>peace and everyone getting along. Yeah.

142
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he even tried to reach across down to John Bayer,

143
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>who did off book his hands, who is now retiring

144
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>because someone dug up some dirt on him somewhere.

145
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 4>And I'll tell you when Obama came here, I went

146
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 4>to see him do his speech.

147
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Did you really?

148
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 4>And I was like seventeen, yeah, what is that?

149
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 3>Right?

150
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Still in school? Skip skilled to.

151
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Go Wow, cute, We'll let that out.

152
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, c for hours, went to see him, and our

153
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 4>t shook our Head of States. Still he gave a

154
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 4>speech that Obama had given before, wow, and didn't mention

155
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 4>it before he started, and then tried to play it

156
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 4>off in his homage funny. And Obama's like looking at

157
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 4>it like I've heard this before and change an occasional word,

158
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 4>and everyone's looking at because this familiar. We heard this before,

159
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 4>and it's like, no, he's just made Obama's speech.

160
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 3>To Obama, now, why was he as a young Irish lad?

161
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Why would you go cue for our president?

162
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 4>Well, i'll tell you the queen because all the security treas,

163
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 4>which one I mean i'm here, I have had and

164
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 4>because all of the security I had already been taken

165
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 4>for Obama. Queen Elizabeth came the same week and for

166
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 4>the first time I think one of the brist monarchy

167
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 4>it come to see us since twenty one, which was

168
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 4>kind of a big deal.

169
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she got.

170
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 4>I would say hundred fifty thousand people. Obama shut down

171
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 4>the city.

172
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I love that you love our president because somebody

173
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 1>in my country disparaged him every day, and.

174
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Well it's not right. I mean, look what he did

175
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>for has Care. It just barely got in. Those horrible Republicans.

176
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>They just wanted to get rid of everything except corporate America. Yeah,

177
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>social effort.

178
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm a tiny bit biased because my last

179
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 3>name is Kennedy.

180
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 1>So ah, any relation I have to ask distantly, but

181
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, hey, distance is better than none at all. Well,

182
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for your comments today. I really

183
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it.

184
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

185
00:08:52.759 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Wish you well as well.

186
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>This entire weekend is part of the mad idea of

187
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>this wonderful person sitting next to me, who we are

188
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>both understated, and who today was on the cliffs of

189
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>More with a twelve foot gay pride flag Eddie. What

190
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a time for Ireland and gay rights and just all

191
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>of it. It's all just something, isn't it.

192
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 5>It has been an absolute amazing journey on so many

193
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 5>different levels. I don't even know what to start. I'll

194
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 5>start with today I was waving that ten foot by

195
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 5>ten foot flag twenty foot pole to tell all you

196
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Americans to come over across the Atlantic to the what

197
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 5>I would call the Atlantic Way here in the west

198
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 5>of Ireland. So why not bring that rainbow to us?

199
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, first of all, I don't want to say what courage,

200
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>but just so proud and ashamed. Right there where the

201
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 1>busiest tourist attraction in Ireland.

202
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's amazing.

203
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 5>You have to realize is the Cliffs of Mohor. And

204
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 5>it's pronouncing Mohor, Yes, is what we would call what

205
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 5>over a million visitors every year just to view those cliffs.

206
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 2>And it's amazed.

207
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 5>And the sun came out.

208
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, closed, departed, arrived at least something part yes exactly.

209
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I am married now. And now why was.

210
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>This important for you to do? You started it three

211
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Uh and that was before the referendum.

212
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

213
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>And so why was that important for you to do.

214
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I've been on this journey, I like yourself.

215
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 5>I've been a publisher, I've been a presenter of a

216
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 5>gay TV program. I've been a known at one point

217
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 5>as a jay dancer.

218
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a game down soon, I'm a.

219
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 5>Downson that is, I'm no longer gay.

220
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I am I am the equal.

221
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>She is everything RuPaul should be and I mean that

222
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>she is a dragged performer par excellence where you.

223
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Just slaid a full room of people. Uh. There is

224
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>a movie coming out about her life.

225
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>And the marriage referendum may not have happened the way

226
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that it did if it weren't for this person next

227
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to me.

228
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 2>She's also the co sponsor of this event. She is fabulous.

229
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Her name is Panty and she is here with me. Now,

230
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 2>welcome you. Well, listen, that's quite the build up you

231
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>just give me there.

232
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I have heard so much about you.

233
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I heard about your speech at the theater and Panty Gate.

234
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 2>You've got a gate?

235
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 3>I did?

236
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>You got your own game. I have wanted a gate

237
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>forever and ever and ever.

238
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>And if they're not all they're cracked up to be,

239
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>gates aren't good.

240
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, William was fine at the end.

241
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Now let's talk first about the referendum. You were

242
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>really really, really really involved in that and then it happened. Yeah,

243
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>and there you were center stage for the world.

244
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, we were really.

245
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 6>Thrilled because we were the first country in the world

246
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 6>to do it through popular vode, which is a risky

247
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 6>way to try and do it because if we.

248
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Done lost and kind of insulting.

249
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, and we would have about to sort of

250
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 6>wait maybe two generations to have a go again.

251
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 2>And you're right, it's kind of humiliating in.

252
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.879
<v Speaker 6>A way to be doing it that way, but this

253
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 6>is the vags of our constitution.

254
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It had to be done that way. So but then

255
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 2>when we got.

256
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 6>The zones we wanted, it was much more powerful than

257
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 6>any of it had just been done to slay. But

258
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 6>because the whole country got together and we all talked

259
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 6>about it, we discussed it for months on end. It

260
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 6>was so sometimes it very difficult to discussion, but then

261
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 6>we all voted on it and it's been decided and

262
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 6>nobody can carve about it afterwards.

263
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Now it's a done deal.

264
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 6>The journey that Ireland has made regards you know, LGBT

265
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 6>people in the last thirty five years has been incredible,

266
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 6>from you know, yeah, from criminalizing sex between men to

267
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 6>having full marriage.

268
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Equality and full legal equality under the law in every respect.

269
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 6>That's an incredible journey to make, and especially for a

270
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 6>small country like ours, which is seen often in the

271
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 6>outside especially has been very.

272
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Sort of conservative and Catholic.

273
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 6>Is an incredible journey that this country has made and

274
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 6>in some ways, I think that this little event encapsulates

275
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 6>that journey.

276
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no other event like this in the world.

277
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Now we're in a tiny.

278
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 6>Village west of Ireland, like minuscule village, steeped in the

279
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 6>traditions of Ireland and everything that that represents. And for

280
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 6>one weekend, all of these days and lesbians and bisexuals

281
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.000
<v Speaker 6>and transgenders. You sort of pile into the village and

282
00:13:59.039 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 6>I think the.

283
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 2>First year is of the like what is going on?

284
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 6>But they really sort of embraced it, and it's really

285
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 6>fun and and it's in some ways I think it's

286
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 6>the it's the antithesis of a circuit part right opposite

287
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 6>it is, and and it's just charming and lovely and what.

288
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you before you go, because everybody wants

289
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to you know, under it all, I did drag for

290
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 1>years too, and.

291
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Under way I did.

292
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 1>I was a divine miss mess I did bet Middler

293
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and yes, yes, of course, uh you know you when

294
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Pantigate happened and all these things. There's personal attacks going on,

295
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and all this other stuff. What what keeps you? Like,

296
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't say, what keeps you going? It's so Oprah

297
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know, but really you could have just either

298
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>given up or gone someplace else, or just say I'm

299
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be an entertainer and go be an entertainer.

300
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have to fight. You didn't. You didn't.

301
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, in a way, I did have to, because in

302
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 6>some ways people are always trying to sort of say, oh, Andy,

303
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 6>you've done so much for them, and I always like

304
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.279
<v Speaker 6>feel a big gilt that because in many way my

305
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 6>motivations have all has been entirely selfish.

306
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just wanted to be who I am right and.

307
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to do what I wanted to do, and

308
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to be, you know, a comfortable gay versus myself.

309
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 6>And in order to achieve out for myself, I had

310
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 6>I felt like I had to be involved in the

311
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.159
<v Speaker 6>you know, fight for rights for the wider community.

312
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 2>But I was fighting for myself as much as freebody else.

313
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.840
<v Speaker 6>And when you know, I don't know how much you

314
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.000
<v Speaker 6>know about that, but when those are Pandygate scandal, I

315
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 6>have it. You know, I had my back to the

316
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 6>wall and it was either.

317
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, stand up for myself or you know, are

318
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you walked? And I'm not the guy who first to

319
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 2>be walked, No, it doesn't seem so. You are a delight.

320
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for this festival. I'll be coming back. Maybe

321
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll find a husband who can say yeah, who can

322
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>say all right. We are here in lisdon Varna for

323
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the outing.

324
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a matchmaking festival and I have run into someone

325
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 1>absolutely extraordinary who I know we're going to be immediate for.

326
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Her book is just taking the bookstores by storm.

327
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It is called Frankly Kelly Becoming a Woman in a

328
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Man's World.

329
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Her name is.

330
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Maloney and she is here with us now and

331
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>by the way, formerly Frank Maloney, a boxing promoter, okay,

332
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and now here she sits in all of her glory

333
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.519
<v Speaker 1>in the West of Ireland.

334
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Kelly, how are you all? Thank you very much, Cheryl.

335
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell you, you know, transgendered rights and

336
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 1>issues have been moved into the foreground recently, uh and

337
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>in our country unfortunately through Caitlyn Jenner.

338
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>And I always say that she's the exception, not the norm.

339
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you, you were probably probably in the

340
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 1>most testosterone filled industry that there was, which is boxing.

341
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>When did you realize, as Frank in the boxing community,

342
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 1>that this wasn't working for you, that you were somebody else.

343
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 7>I knew all my life I was different. Bye didn't

344
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 7>know why I was different. And when you're young, you

345
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 7>just want to be the same as your brothers. You

346
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.839
<v Speaker 7>want to be accepted in society. And it was only

347
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.160
<v Speaker 7>in the sixties I read an article on Abe Rashley.

348
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.799
<v Speaker 7>I think I was about fourteen and I read this

349
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 7>article and I just went, no, this is me. How

350
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 7>do I deal with this? She had just been taken

351
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 7>to destroyed by the British Press, which they make a

352
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 7>great habit of doing to people, and she lost everything

353
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.440
<v Speaker 7>and I went and the fear grew inside. Now I

354
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.920
<v Speaker 7>can never how do I tell my parents that I

355
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 7>am in the wrong body. I really should have been

356
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 7>born a female. So I thought it all my life.

357
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 7>I battled it.

358
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I always knew I was gay.

359
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I never not knew, and I was always out And

360
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine having hidden it.

361
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>That must have been complex.

362
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 7>It was because I was trying to be the perfect

363
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 7>sons to my parents, because my father idolies, because of

364
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 7>what I achieved. I was trying to be the perfect

365
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 7>husband and the perfect far.

366
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So you were married.

367
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 7>I was married, being married twice, Yes, it's a two

368
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 7>very nice women and thankfully with friends. And now they've

369
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.799
<v Speaker 7>accepted it and they've helped me. They've helped me cross

370
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.519
<v Speaker 7>over the bridges.

371
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, now, when did you transition?

372
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 7>I had my final operation sixteen weeks ago.

373
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, congratulations, thank you.

374
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 7>I lost the part of my body I wanted to lose.

375
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, our friendly made a great film. What not

376
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 2>to ask a transgendered person?

377
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

378
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And I don't want to not. I don't want to

379
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>ask any questions that you don't want to know. I'm

380
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 2>quite had to ask anybody I have to ask you.

381
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>You've been doing a whole lot of interviews recently. Have

382
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 2>you made any How do I say this? Does the

383
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:49.880
<v Speaker 2>press know how to deal with you?

384
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. But I'm one of these people because

385
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.240
<v Speaker 7>where I come from. I mean I've dealt with the

386
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 7>lights of Don King and been insulted by mister King.

387
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.559
<v Speaker 1>So when first were the lacted, you were in Don

388
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Kings yes.

389
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 2>To look at a picture.

390
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 7>They had a picture of him and Bill Clinton, and

391
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 7>I said to him, Don, you must be upset your

392
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 7>state to put a Republican any way. I am now

393
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 7>a Republican. And another picture.

394
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.839
<v Speaker 2>We mentioned the other night. There's just not room for

395
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>characters like him anymore.

396
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 7>I have a great character, and you know he as

397
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 7>I said, I've been insulted by Don, so I've learned

398
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 7>to deal with the press. I've learned to deal with

399
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 7>everything else, so I never get upset if they miss

400
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.559
<v Speaker 7>gendered me, if they asked me the wrong question, I'll

401
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.920
<v Speaker 7>answer it because it's all about education. I feel that

402
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm educating him to understand what being a trans person is.

403
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, you wanted to sit down with Caitlyn and have

404
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a chat, but I'm told she said, now.

405
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, my agents wanted me in an English TV station because,

406
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 7>without saying a big headed and arrogant I'm probably the

407
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 7>equivalent to Kaitlin in this country.

408
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes you are, except for.

409
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 7>I haven't got a Kadashian family, but I've got two

410
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:57.000
<v Speaker 7>lovely daughters who have actually given advice to the Kadashian

411
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 7>girls in the magazine. And we just got a reply

412
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:06.279
<v Speaker 7>from Kate's agents saying Katen doesn't do interviews, so we've

413
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.079
<v Speaker 7>left it alone.

414
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Tell that to be any fair, you know what I'm saying,

415
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like she does two interviews. Now everyone's saying that

416
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>gay rights, And here we are at the outing in

417
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Ireland right after the game that's been referendum.

418
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a it's a very big deal.

419
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of gay people are telling me that trans

420
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 1>rights are the next is the next frontier?

421
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Do you think so too?

422
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 7>I think we've grown. We are probably where the gay

423
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 7>community was fifteen years ago. I mean the thing is

424
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 7>I always preach that can.

425
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>You still be fired? Like where do you live? What

426
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>country do you live in? I live in England, and

427
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>in England I.

428
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 7>Quite protect protecting you thoughs. Yeah, and we're not as

429
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 7>not as shall we say, in.

430
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>The barbaria Americans are, ye, barbaric. Yeah, Barbaric's a good word.

431
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.319
<v Speaker 7>I do feel that some trans people we are our

432
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.160
<v Speaker 7>own worst enemy as well, you know, because we don't

433
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 7>we jump down people's throats as they mis gingers. You know,

434
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 7>it takes time to look for forty I lie that

435
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 7>my age for forty years a little bit longer, shall

436
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 7>we say. Everyone's known me as the match show boxing

437
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.160
<v Speaker 7>promoter that's gone out there, So if people miss gender me,

438
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Speaker 7>I can understand that, right, and then as long as

439
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 7>they don't do it deliberately and maliciously.

440
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>You're like a sort of double entendre joke about Frankly Kelly.

441
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.079
<v Speaker 1>You know you you sort of combine your old name

442
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>as an adjective with your new need.

443
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I chose that foot the title myself, and they

444
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 7>loved it, the publishers were. They were throwing all these

445
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 7>names in and I just said, I said, it's very simple,

446
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 7>Frankly Kelly.

447
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 2>So what is it like being a woman in a

448
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.119
<v Speaker 2>man's world?

449
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Because you were a successful man and men have privileges

450
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that women don't. And now you're a woman, you do

451
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 1>get treated differently, you do, and you get looked down.

452
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>A little bit upon you.

453
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.480
<v Speaker 7>They petronize you a little bit. But you know, I've

454
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 7>gone back into the boxing world, but in a very

455
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 7>small way, and I'm hoping to conquer and fears and

456
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm hoping to overcome all the prejudicing this old boy

457
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 7>club because boxing is an old boys absolutely, and you

458
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 7>know there's not many gay boxes even come out. I

459
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 7>think in all my time, I've only known two. Wow,

460
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 7>We're human beings the same as anyone else. He's only

461
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 7>society has given us this label. I don't want to

462
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 7>be known as a trains woman. I want to be

463
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.839
<v Speaker 7>known as a human being.

464
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I was about to ask you this question. You have transitioned, Yes,

465
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 2>so you're not a trans woman. You're a woman.

466
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 7>I'm a woman, right, I'm a human being.

467
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, who's gender? A female? You're a woman? Yes? Why

468
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 2>do you supp.

469
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Why do you suppose we have to identify people as

470
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.799
<v Speaker 1>trans if they've completed the transition.

471
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't we just call them men or women?

472
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.119
<v Speaker 7>I agree with you the whole heartly, and I do

473
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 7>cause a lot of problems with the trans community because

474
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 7>I say that, because they say you should be proud

475
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 7>to be a trans woman. No, I'm proud to be

476
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 7>a member of the human right.

477
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 2>You were a trans woman until sixteen weeks ago. Now

478
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:49.640
<v Speaker 2>you're a woman.

479
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 1>It takes courage to say I am walking away from

480
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the career that I scratched and clad and built for.

481
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy to be a successful boxing promoter and

482
00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm walking away from that.

483
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of courage.

484
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.039
<v Speaker 1>And now that you've done it, when you look back,

485
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>was it the absolute right decision?

486
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 7>It was at that time because I could never have transitioned.

487
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 7>I actually wanted to transition very privately. A lot of

488
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 7>people don't know, but I'm quite a private person away

489
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 7>from Well, I mean.

490
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>The media is all over you right now, but I

491
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 1>can imagine that you still want to Well.

492
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 7>I've got a family. I like to protect them, and

493
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 7>I only I only came out very publicly because I

494
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 7>had the English press shitting outside of my front door

495
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 7>ready to expose me, and I had to fight legal

496
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 7>battles to keep to keep them from exposing me.

497
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Someone was threatening you, They were threatened.

498
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 7>They were going to yeah, yeah, well.

499
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 2>We do that.

500
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 7>English papers do things like that.

501
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Still, still, this was the recent reason. So you just said,

502
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 2>screw it, I'll just come out.

503
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 7>Well, we we went to war with them with a

504
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 7>legal team, and obviously I was protected under privacy because

505
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 7>we do have Privacy Act, so they couldn't run the story.

506
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 7>But then eventually my lawyers and my team that I

507
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 7>put together said, Kelly, you can't keep fighting this. It's

508
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 7>going to cost you an absolute fool chune. You're going

509
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 7>to have to come out. So we made contact with

510
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 7>a couple of papers, and we found a paper that

511
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 7>was friendly and they would give us editorial rights. They

512
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 7>would give us headline rights and picture rights, and they

513
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 7>would let me employ someone that would read all the

514
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 7>story to make sure that every adjective was right and

515
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.599
<v Speaker 7>they didn't use the wrong email right and I think

516
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.440
<v Speaker 7>that really helped the trans community in this country and

517
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 7>since then the press have been a lot more positive.

518
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about the trans community in Ireland?

519
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably so new now there.

520
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the gays are stepping forward, but

521
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 1>are trans people are still frightened here? Do you think?

522
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 7>I think there is a movement here called Tenny, and

523
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.640
<v Speaker 7>I've met a couple of them. They're really nice, and

524
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 7>they just passed a bill in parliament where they in

525
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.839
<v Speaker 7>the Irish Parliament where they now can get gender recognition

526
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 7>certificates and be recognized as a female and the birth certificate,

527
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 7>so they are moved in the same direction as well.

528
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Caitlin was just recognized as a female, but she hasn't

529
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 1>completed the surgery.

530
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Is that okay with you? It's not okay with me,

531
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:57.799
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and I'm just being frank about that.

532
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 7>Well with me, I mean everyone's different. I mean I've

533
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 7>read asked you for where she's not going to have

534
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.279
<v Speaker 7>the surgery. I've had the articles where she's going to

535
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.000
<v Speaker 7>have the surgery. I think Caitlyn plays the press to

536
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 7>suit herself in a little way.

537
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 1>What's your hope both personally for yourself and for the

538
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 1>trans community?

539
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.359
<v Speaker 2>What do as you look ahead? You know, what is

540
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 2>your hope?

541
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 7>I hope is that people just see us in the street,

542
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 7>recognizes and accepts us and let us live our life

543
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 7>the way we wanted. And what new.

544
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Mountains do you want to conquer? Because you don't seem

545
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>like the type of just sit around doing nothing.

546
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:33.039
<v Speaker 7>No, I just want to help others and get people

547
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 7>to respect us and just see us as human beings

548
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 7>and you know, let us get on with our lives,

549
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.160
<v Speaker 7>because do you know what, We're not freaks, we're not perverts,

550
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 7>we're not sexual devians. We're human beings that were born

551
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 7>with a condition and we've used medical science to correct it. Now,

552
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.839
<v Speaker 7>if you were born with a heart murmur and one

553
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 7>arm missing.

554
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Horse, no one would think anything about it, and.

555
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 7>The doctors fixed that, or the doctor's quured your cancer,

556
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 7>they would say, what a wonderful job them doctors has done.

557
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.640
<v Speaker 7>All them doctors have done has corrected something that's wrong

558
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 7>at my birth. So we should say, what wonderful job

559
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 7>than doctors has done? And let me go out and

560
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 7>enjoy my life and let all trans people enjoyed in life.

561
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.640
<v Speaker 2>There's just not much I could add to that sentence.

562
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.519
<v Speaker 1>It is what I hope for for Kelly and for

563
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Christine and for all trans people. I've grown up gay

564
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and know so many transsexual transgendered. There's a difference, uh,

565
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>so many transgender people, and I've watched them face insurmountable odds.

566
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I've seen them be beaten.

567
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I've seen them just suffer indignations that even gay people

568
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't had to suffer. And even now that there is

569
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 1>so much because it's a ying and a yang. Yes,

570
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a positive movement now about it, but then there's

571
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:37.079
<v Speaker 1>also the backlash.

572
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.200
<v Speaker 2>So there's there's always a yin and a yang.

573
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 1>This is a wonderful human being sitting next to me.

574
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what's sitting next to me, A wonderful human being

575
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>who has more fun shopping now, don't you? Oh my god,

576
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean love love, Oh.

577
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I know what's your favorite thing to buy? I don't know.

578
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I like flowy things, you know, like it's gotta be.

579
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:01.119
<v Speaker 7>I like heels because it might be to absolutely and

580
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 7>they make you look good good, And I love, I

581
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 7>love I did a drag right here, so so.

582
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:10.359
<v Speaker 2>You got I found the stores that fell for big girls.

583
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 7>Now I just love shopping. The colors, the selections are

584
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:15.119
<v Speaker 7>so much different.

585
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 1>And how I cannot imagine as we go, how liberating

586
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.319
<v Speaker 1>it must be for Kelly to wake up in the

587
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.359
<v Speaker 1>morning to put on her clothes and go to a

588
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 1>female dress shop and buy some fabulous clothes and just be.

589
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Out and open. I mean that just has to feel one.

590
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 2>You know that.

591
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 7>That is the best thing about this, Because before I

592
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 7>used to wake up and I'd look at and I'd

593
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.400
<v Speaker 7>put a track suit on as and I'd go out

594
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 7>as frank, hating it. And then at night I would

595
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 7>wait till it was dark and my neighbors couldn't see

596
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 7>me in our dresses, and I'd go out to my

597
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 7>support group or at social because because I was quite small, like,

598
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 7>I got away as long as people didn't know who

599
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.400
<v Speaker 7>I was, I got away with it.

600
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 1>And I was very like, right, no, I wouldn't know

601
00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.039
<v Speaker 1>you were trying. Well, you're well, you're not a transfer

602
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>woman anymore. But I would not have known when I

603
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 1>first met you.

604
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 7>There you were, and you know, and it was so

605
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:05.319
<v Speaker 7>funny because I used to go walk in my dogs.

606
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 7>I've got two air dells and I used to walk

607
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:08.480
<v Speaker 7>them a lot, and that was my sort of relief.

608
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 7>And then when it came to public, I sort of

609
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.720
<v Speaker 7>been got up and it was great to be able

610
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:14.440
<v Speaker 7>to get up in the morning, just put on a onesie,

611
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 7>just brush my hair, put a little bit of Lippyon,

612
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 7>and go out and walk my dogs. And I was

613
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.319
<v Speaker 7>at one day and I saw this woman coming towards

614
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.960
<v Speaker 7>me or I always met his frank, and she stopped

615
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 7>and easily recognizes the dogs and she went to me, Oh,

616
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm so used to your husband walking your dogs. And

617
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.880
