Caitlyn Jenner, the 65-year-old Olympian-turned-LGBT activist, will return to the small screen in a second season of I Am Cait. Jenner said in a statement.
“I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation.”
Jeff Olde, EVP of Programming and Development at E! said
“Caitlyn’s story has ignited a global conversation on the transgender community on a scale that has never been seen before. We are honored Caitlyn has chosen to continue to share her ongoing story with our viewers around the world.”
In the first season, Cait befriended a powerful group of trans women who helped open Cait’s eyes to the struggles and hardships they face all around the world and the second season will focus more on transgender acceptance.
And Glamour Magazine will crown Caitlyn among their Women of the Year for 2015. They haven’t made the official announcement with regard to its December cover story but Jenner, of course, deserves the title as she started an important conversation. She has shown extreme bravery in going forward on her new journey as a woman but of course, the internet exploded at the thought. If you read these awful comments you’ll see that many people still don’t accept transgendered women as women, and it seems no amount of ernest effort on the part of Caitlyn will cure these anti-trans sentiments and general assholism on Twitter. That’s on these jerks.
