You Go Cait!

Finally watched About Bruce, the two episodes on Keeping Up with the Kardashians about how the family deals with Bruce Jenner's coming out and transition plans.  The show could be a great conversation starter with loved ones about a very difficult topic.  It was enlightening to have an insight into how a man like Bruce Jenner, Olympic athlete, sports hero, struggled with being transgender, how his kids struggled with a hidden side of their dad, and how his ex-wife still loved him even though they split up.

There were a lot of themes that I was fascinated with how well they portrayed them:

• Sneaking around at 4 AM in women's clothes
• Thinking no one knows, when some know and just don't mention it
• Family feeling hurt by lying to before, during, and after coming out
• Needing to lie about how far and how much more
• Wife feeling like she doesn't know her husband
• Wife feeling like now she has to grow old alone
• Kim's (daughter) fashion advice for Bruce
• Chloe (daughter) was upset with the lying
• Stealing wive's clothes and the need to give back (buy your own)
• Stealing wive's makeup
• Stealing daugther's (awkward)
• Messy feminine side of the closet
• Found out by kids, never talked about
• Meeting "her", two lives

Can't wait to continue the story with the new Hulu show, Cait.  You go girl!
