"E! is bringing Caitlyn Jenner back for another season of self-discovery, relationship-building, high fashion, and Kardashian clashes on I Am Cait.

"I'm looking forward to continuing the conversation," Jenner, one of the executive producers of the series, said in a statement. The show broke the news to fans in a tweet:"

I want to start a show called "I am NOT Cait" that demonstrates what transition is like for the rest of us.

Maybe the world will get a less distorted view of what it's like to be transgender.

I agree.  A better title might be "I am so totally not Cait".

Omg I love you <3 This is exactly what I was thinking lol

Cait seems to be progressing.  She is having some of the problems we all have.  She also demonstrates that money solves a lot of problems.  I'd like to see a little more about the problems the rest of us have though.

However, watching it on DVR with my wife took about two hours because we would pause it and talk.  It really helped.  We need to take what is good and try to help others understand that it isn't really like that for most of us. Its an opportunity....

she seems to be  trying, It's TV and way too many commercials

Not nearly hard enough IMHO. Trans-life simply is not that fabulous as it may sometimes appear. I think she should've worked out some of the issues we all deal with first, before charing in and making a TV show from the start. I can't help but feel money was a bigger driving force behind the show, than a true altruistic nature to help others. Now if all profits from the show were donated to help trans-youth and trans-health programs or education, than I would have a different opinion.

I am always torn about Cait.

On the one hand she is bringing awareness. But a friend of mine with breast cancer told me that awareness really only goes so far. Enough people are aware. Time to start working on a cure (for cancer).

I think her problem is that she is deeply, publicly tied to her male past, so people will view her first and foremost as Bruce Jenner, and not Caitlyn.

That is pretty unfortunate.

I don't know if I will be watching.

Not to mention the fact that she is just not very nice person. I don't know.. she just rubs me up the wrong way. She's kind of rude and disrespectful and it feels to me like we trans people make excuses for her because she is famous and bringing awareness to our cause, but is that really a fair compromise? She carries that abrupt and forceful attitude everywhere she goes, and it doesn't feel to me like a very nice characteristic. [shrug]

I'm agree Caitlyn doesn't show people how most transgenders are. But how are she rude and disrespectful? I hasn't read so much, so I doesn't know so much about her.

I don't like Cait.  Her publicity tour charges 500 for a vip meet and greet.  Cait seems too money and publicity motivated.  I don't think she is good for the community. 

She is too much style not enough substance.

I know she is against gay marriage? maybe that's it

i mean i know this from the ellen show and i guess telling someone you don't think their marriage is valid is kind of rude

i think that the reason transpeople of my kind of age group don't like her is because she is older (not bad just not really representative) and holds conservative, 'traditionalist' kind of views. if she was a ciswoman i wouldn't give her a second thought. i don't see why we should support people we clash with.

Really? She's against gay marriage? She's a trans-woman who married women. She had more than one girlfriend. Not enough with that... she made children with them too, even many says she's asexual. So she has bio. children. She quit the relationships later. So she had some lesbian relationships. It seems like she love both gender.

Yeah, there was another thread about her here somewhere that had the interview as embedded videos in the comments (can't remember where it was tho soz). She didn't say much about why, or how she sees it in relation to herself, just that she was a 'traditionalist'. I can't say for sure obvs but maybe now she's a woman she'd abstain from relationships because she doesn't believe it's right to be a lesbian and isn't attracted to males? Idk

But yeah i think it's the implied hypocrisy there that puts people off.
