""Well what did you expect? It's reality TV," a few people said once I hit Twitter after watching the I Am Cait, "Road Trip Part 1" episode. Maintaining my skepticism, I said yes to appearing on the show because I expected more from Caitlyn, who professed that this would be different, not just your ordinary reality show, but a docu-series. Caitlyn kept saying "I want to get this right". She seemed earnest and genuine, and I trusted her. However, I believe a combination of Caitlyn being soaking wet behind the ears in lived trans experience, as well as the sense of separateness she displays between her and the rest of the community that led to such a gross misuse of power and privilege as an Executive Producer of her own show. Overall, I would characterize the I Am Cait show as a "missed opportunity.""
