This summer, TV viewers had the opportunity to tune into two shows with very similar titles — E!'s I Am Cait and TLC's I Am Jazz. While Caitlyn Jenner's docu-series has received much (well deserved) attention, less has been written about I Am Jazz, starring 14-year-old Jazz Jennings and her family. And yet Jazz's story is perhaps more indicative of what the future looks like for transgender people.

Not having cable, I haven't seen her show, but I really admire this young lady.
