I Am Cait

Caitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlyn. Really?

A 10 for coming out as your real self. A 2 for still having the brain of a privileged white man. You've been living with this your whole life and you still have no clue what life is like in America as a woman? Or as an LGBTQ? The homophobia? The transgender hatred? The misogyny? The economic imbalance? The Republican fear mongering? Really? What kind of a rock have you been living under? Thanks and rotten tomatoes to E! for this wholly unsatisfying series. On the one hand it is beyond fabulous to detail the coming out of a celebrity as it moves the cultural conversation forward like nothing else. But on the other hand.... somebody please school Miss Caitlyn in depth ASAP. She's embarrassing herself and making things worse for the transgender community at the same time.

After watching an episode and the comparing some of the reviews given here makes me wonder if Cait's PR team are bombarding with 5 star reviews on IMDb. The show is unwatchable. I am not surprised the ratings for this show is going down. There's nothing in it; apart from a person who had a sex change now trying out ladies costumes all day along. And combined with non-stop pointless articles everyday, this is becoming such a pain. I am not a big fan of reality shows but I can say without a doubt this has been the most boring, pointless show in the telly in recent days. I kind of feel sorry for the Kardarshian family for going through this.

I feel like nobody's taken into consideration how brave she actually is. Many people are transphobic, it's so hard to come out publicly. Super inspiring. Caitlyn's my hero. I won't give any spoiler's -- But honestly it's pure amazing. I know it's inspired so many people. For 3 reasons: She's taking so much hate for the sake of our generation. I have a lot more respect for the kardashian family. And she's so brave. Love it. I hope that many more people can feel comfortable with their identity and their gender, and I also hope that more people can accept transgender people. I hope that the message gets out -- it's okay to be who you are, no matter what your gender or sexuality is. Absolutely, positively love it.

Is this seriously how low prime time has sunk? Another crap reality show? A has been washed up sports star who is irrelevant finds fame in being famous for coming out the closet? Seems he is more interested in exploring his paycheck options than his sexuality. I feel sorry for trans gender people having this as what's perceived to be their spokesperson! What a self centered attention whoring uninspiring douche bag, money and fame hungry knob head. So after watching the first episode of this I can tell that was enough for me! I am sick of hearing about Jenner this and Kardashian that! The trans gender issue is a real issue, but I can watch it dealt in a more positive way by watching it in a drama Series like Transparent then this bull crap! CAIT should have only done an hour long sit down or at the most a two hour documentary rather than sit and whine that her family isn't even promoting her show! Really? Be thankful your family even accepts you - you ungrateful person.

And, I wasn't disappointed. I watched Bruce's transformation into Cait and was so happy for her. I was hoping the show wouldn't be exploitative, and it isn't.

It isn't just Cait trying on clothes all day, as a former reviewer stated. It isn't even about her transition, it's a lens in which to view the trans community. This show will be polarizing. Some will like it and others will hate it.

How one views Cait Jenner says a lot about how they feel about the trans community and other LGB folk. The conversations online it comment sections is heart rending. So much hate spewed, it really makes them uncomfortable that someone wanted to change their body to match their mental gender.

I applaud Cait taking on trans issues for the whole community. She is a role model, a with her she brings the Kardashian celebrity baggage. Some have wondered if she can be an effective voice for the community. They cite her money and ease of transition as not being representive of the experience of most trans folk. I don't have an answer to all of this. Only the future will tell us how well she carries the mantle.

This show gets people talking. It weeds out the haters from the supporters. I love the accepting and celebratory vibe from the show. It's about time trans folk felt like they could be open and proud of who they are. I bet it will kick off many name change parties in the future!
