Perfectly adorable

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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.

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!

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.

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.
