I like to think of myself as an active American in our politics, but I get lost sometimes watching everything.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Most Americans need to be told discrimination against trans people is against the law. Instead of looking at us as people, they look at us as not people. If there's a law that states this treatment is not allowed, I'd feel safer to function more confidently in society because I'd know I'm protected by the law in the country I pay taxes in.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Being in the entertainment industry, I do have some privileges, but when I'm off sets and in the real world, I'm a trans individual whose rights and safety have been taken away.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
My message is: beauty has no gender. At the end of the day beauty is beauty.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I just want to say that I'm, like, living for myself, because I was onstage at Radio City Music Hall with Christina Aguilera - and my name was on the screen. It was a big moment!
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Drag has always been an open space where anyone within the LGBT community can express their creativity.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
When you don't have a support system, and you're constantly being bullied for who you are, and you begin to not accept yourself for who you are, it's a distraction from schoolwork. It's a distraction from learning and from growing.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Every one of us deserves the right to have a great education that's going to prepare us and give us the tools that we need in order to thrive outside of school. It's our government's responsibility to make sure that everyone is included.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
There's a lot of healing that needs to happen between the LGBT community and the cisgender heterosexual world. There's a ton of misunderstanding.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
We must learn to exist together in peace and love people as they are. That is the only way humanity wins.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
We cannot let fear and terror dictate how we live our lives, no matter what. Life is a blessing with an expiration date, and we must embrace it while we can.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I ended up going to public school in the first grade, and that's when I knew I had to be very strategic about my survival in school. I tried my best to be friends with people who were going to protect me.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I got kicked out of Catholic school, by the way, because I was too feminine. I was too feminine and I had a crush on this boy named Anthony and the nuns were not having it.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Your gender should not matter in your heart or in the way you express your personality.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
In all honesty plastic surgery these days goes hand-in-hand with beauty maintenance. It's nothing new. Who I am, my body, I was not created from surgery, at all, whatsoever.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Luckily for me the public have known me before my transition and I've always had the same body type.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Drag Race' was when I was kind of confused about how I wanted to live the rest of my life and I was just having fun, a little ignorant, a little young.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Feeling comfortable with your body as you go through a transition is not easy, and honestly, as a trans person on hormones or after surgery, you just don't really know what your results will be, how you'll finally look. Managing all of that is a challenge.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Stepping into the gym or going out to do sports is a scary thing for a trans person - you feel like everyone is looking at you.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Everyone else is following these male and female tracks that have already been set for them, but when you're trans there is no trail.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
When you live this trans experience, there's a point and time in your life that you almost stop developing because you don't know where to go.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I run into a lot of ignorance and stupidity. It gets really frustrating, but you have to take yourself out of it and realize what's happening in the bigger picture.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
For a long time trans people have always been a joke. Our reputation has always been the bottom of the barrel and it's not fair.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
It would be pretty amazing for Victoria's Secret to be that huge corporation that embraces trans women. We shop there as well.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Trans women are a part of the female population and I think that they deserve a respectful representation.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
For any model in this industry, you never know if you're going to get work. You never know if people are going to relate to you, and embrace you. And then being trans is kind of like - I hate to say it - but it's kind of like a setback.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
It just so happens that I'm trans. It shouldn't have to be like 'Oh, that's the trans model selling the trans clothes.'
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Trans people are beautiful. It's a different kind of beauty, and it should be recognized and respected.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Beauty is the ability to utilize the tools provided in order to showcase your spirit in order to show your true soul.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
Beauty comes from within, but it's up to us to use fashion and beauty to express who we are on the inside.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I consider myself an activist for women like me, who want to be confident and don't want to be judged.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I want to be able to supply the knowledge that transgender women need in order to live peacefully and become accepted among all men and women.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
My coffee usually is very light, very sweet with milk preferably Almond Milk but if not available I take whole milk but I'm trying to go vegan, so I try for at least soy.
Quote by -Carmen Carrera
I'm very passionate and believe that every time the LGBT community is featured in the media, people are learning about us.
