The evolution continues. In a new clip from I Am Cait, Caitlyn Jenner tells her friend Jennifer Finney Boylan that she is warming to the idea of dating a man. “It would be very attractive to me,” she says, “to have a guy treat me like a woman.”
“What does that mean?” her friend asks.
“That you would be treated like a normal woman…like any other woman on the street. Not make it this big trans thing or this or that. Just a normal relationship,” Caitlyn answers.
Boylan finds this train of thought to be slightly problematic and reminds her that she’s already a “normal woman” and that it’s both natural and silly to feel that a man will validate her as such.
“It’s a thing that women do. We look to men to give us self-worth,” Jennifer says. “I think now that you’re in the sisterhood, you have gone through such trouble to become a woman. Don’t be a stupid one. Be a smart one.”

As fans of the show will note, although this is the first time that Caitlyn has openly discussed dating a man on the show, it’s not the first time she’s addressed her sexual orientation. According to Entertainment Weekly, it came up during episode 3, but she said it was too early to tell who she was attracted to at that time. While it’s a confusing topic for the former “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star, until now she hasn’t been able to comment one way or another. In episode 2 of “I am Cait,” she revealed that, although she’s always been attracted to women, the idea of dating a man wasn’t out of the question. Above all else, she says she wanted to “have the right parts” before she considers dating at all. In other words, until she’s followed through with her gender reassignment surgery, which she says will be the last thing she does in terms of her transition, she won’t be actively searching for a relationship.
