Spoiler Alert - this review may contain spoilers if you haven't seen the first 2 seasons.The sheer bravery it took to come "out of the closet" for Caitlyn, and to do it while being besieged by the press at every turn was heartbreaking to watch for most people, if you have a beating heart. So when the show came out and it was her show on her terms, I couldn't wait to watch it. Hasn't everyone had enough of the paparazzi and all the craziness they create in people's lives? Her transition showcased how cruel the media is and the lengths they go to get what they want, with total disregard to how it might hurt anyone. I needed to watch this show. I wanted to learn about being trans and what it meant. It came at a time when I was dealing with something similar in my own family, with a family member that was going to become a part of my life, and I had no basis to go on. I didn't know what it was. I thought being trans meant that you were a guy who liked wearing dresses. That is what I had gathered throughout my life, when I watched something about it. I loved the Bird Cage, and even watching that and loving it, it didn't dawn on me fully what being trans was.Watching this show made it all make sense, and it is so simple for me to understand now. Sometimes when we are born, our outsides don't match our insides, the person we really are. I loved watching the show, it brought so many light bulb moments for me, and Caitlyn as Caitlyn and no longer Bruce still has the same vibration for me as Bruce did. I came to realize they are the same person, it is just her outside now matches her inside. And she is happy. And isn't that great?We should all celebrate when any one of us humans has the courage to be who we really are on the inside. I believe all of us are striving for that, it is just so damn hard to do due to society telling us who we are, and who we have to stay. Cait and friends make it seem easy just to be that person inside, and then show how very difficult it was and is to get there and remain there, but how very worth it.This is Life, and everyone should live it out loud. And it is a Joy to watch. As Cait is learning to be Cait, and not having to be Bruce anymore, that is really what this show is about. She gave herself the opportunity to finally become herself and be who she is. And what came through for me is how utterly brave all of these people truly are, as being truly who you are means you cannot care anymore what anyone else thinks of you.Cait has brought out of the shadows and into the light of day that we are truly all the same underneath. Just humans trying to find our way to Joy. And you can't do that without being truly who you are, who you were meant to me. Maybe we all want to be accepted, but we have to stop caring about being accepted, and care about being ourselves more.I did find something strange in the way that the LGBTQ community reacted to her. That was hard to watch. It was like, this individual who had transformed from a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly was now being dissed by people who have gone through the same process, which is becoming who you are. Judged and ridiculed by people who I thought would have embraced yet another of us who has stepped into such bravery. Strange what forms judgment can take, when we learn to judge each other. Yet Cait remained steadfast, even though you could tell she didn't understand why she was being judged, and frankly I, as a viewer, didn't understand it either. I still don't get it. But I'm glad I don't, because everyone has their journey and this is Cait's alone, even with the help of some new friends who keep trying to judge her, but finally get over it.

Let me start this review by saying I like Bruce Jenner and I like Caitlyn. It's too easy to criticise and hate but we all have to play with the cards that life deals us, and in a way this programme invites you to look deeper into the human psyche and the struggles human souls face and how we relate to one another. That said, I feel really sorry for Caitlyn. Bruce was unhappy and I'm sorry to say that Caitlyn looks unhappy. Compared to the trans women on the show (candace, chandi..) who appear so relaxed, Cait sticks out like the odd one out. I think Bruce was always a loner and as he says in his own words, he didn't fit in with the boys and didn't fit in with the girls. I'm sorry to say that he doesn't look like he fits in with trans women either. It's interesting in the show when he keeps referring to the trans women as "they" and compliments that "they've achieved so much", at which point his trans friend embarrassingly has to remind him again that it's "we". I believe Bruce was struggling and chose transgenderism as an escape to the boundaries in his own psyche. But since he never really dealt with why he had the inner turmoil to begin with, it seems the problems have just passed onto Cait. The irony is that as transgenderism is accepted more into the mainstream, Cait becomes less of the outcast and has to deal with relating to people as normal again which is what her real struggle was to start with. As an aside, what is the big deal with gender? So Bruce hasn't changed his genitalia, dresses as a woman, likes male activities and likes women, yet it's so important that the world calls him a woman. It seems he's gone from being a very masculine man to being a masculine "tomboy" lesbian trans woman. Surely it would have been easier to just call himself a transvestite man. Anyway I wish Caitlyn all the best. I hope she finds herself and can be truly happy.

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.

ha, what more could we say... ladies n gentlemen, if it ain't for money its not right, so here we go, again, big papa Bruce huh, im speechless, we all have been thru this typical TV shows, or perhaps a little bit of false American dream alike drama, with all of these somehow we get tired, we need some real stuff, positive ones, not some old guy who has lost his popularity like half a century ago while do something internally 'graceful', or just say natural?? like come out of the closet or literally make himself a she, to regain some public attention n eye sights. absolutely wrong, and inappropriate n misleading. yep i know you should claim that, he(or likely she currently) just try to use the media to tell all the people who have some differences in their hearts, minds, inside their bodies, which by all means should be extracted or expressed by themselves, meanwhile make some money by it. while, we really some actual role models, like those who started from the bottom, by their efforts, they made their achievements, earn their general respect. NOT like this.. come on, just stop.
