"This book is about transcending what other people think about us, the limitations they put on us, limitations society puts on us, and transcending the limitations we put on ourselves.” Award-winning actress and LGBTQ+ advocate Laverne Cox joins Desi Lydic to talk about her new memoir “Transcendent.” They discuss some of the traumatic events of her childhood that she recounts in the book, how dance and creativity were a saving grace in her life, and how she has worked to find healing, purpose, and self-love in her adulthood. Cox also brings awareness to the Right’s coordinated campaign against trans people, especially in the courts where rights are being stripped away from trans people in real time, and explains how these attacks weaken the rights of every citizen. #DailyShow #LaverneCox #TransRights Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.
