On yesterday's THE TALK on CBS, award-winning comedian and actor Eddie Izzard talked about coming out as a transvestite 30 years ago and people beginning to understand the transgender community.

Said Izzard, "It's groovy for everything to catch up with me...It's my genetics. It's not a choice thing. I think all alternative sexuality is genetics. I knew when I was 4...It's a genetic gift." He also discussed his new role in the supernatural drama "Powers." Watch the appearance below!
