“I’ve been in the house with a gun and said: ‘Okay, let’s end it – no more pain, no more suffering.'”. He was so concerned with losing his job and having no money to support his family and said, “If I come out and people know who I am, I will most likely lose my job”.

“I’m very optimistic about the future and I’m dragging you along with me“, Caitlyn tells her mother, and also viewers indirectly.
Framedas a docuseries, I Am Cait is about understanding who Caitlyn Jenner is as she discovers her own self.
Although anxious that he might “scare” the 17-year-old with her feminine appearance, the youngster is not phased and states: “I’m not scared, you look pretty”.
Jenner’s mother and two sisters help.
The eight-part series chronicling Bruce Jenner’s transition to a female identity as Caitlyn Jenner undoubtedly will break ratings records when it debuts Sunday, July 26 on E!. “I hope I get it right“.
Cox saw the first episode of I am Cait on Monday after accepting an invitation by Jenner to attend a private screening. Although he’s been in a relationship with Kim for three years, the rapper’s presence on Keeping Up With the Kardashians has always been kept to a minimum – or has much as it can be when someone is married to a reality star.

The premiere shows Jenner taking a trip to San Diego to visit with the mother of Kyler Prescott, a transgender teen who died by suicide in May.
“I was wrong. I am more proud now for the courage he has shown”.
Articulate and persuasive even in kindergarten, Jazz might be the ideal voice to explain what being transgender is like, to clarify the difference between gay (being attracted to people of the same sex), transvestite (finding pleasure in dressing in clothes of the opposite sex) and transgender (feeling that one’s outer gender doesn’t match the inner).
There’s a brief, but emotional moment with Caitlyn and her sister, Pam, as she goes through all of the old Bruce clothes, and a amusing one when she realizes on the tennis court how important a sports bra is.
“I don’t know that [Jenner] would have been my choice, but obviously I’m not on the ESPY [committee]. Oh, yes, I will”, she insists-and fear (the Bible is mentioned), she never stops feeling authentic in her complicated love for her children.
There’s a supportive phone call from stepson Rob and, in the first episode at least, no sign of Khloe, with a hint in a teaser for the season that she was upset by Caitlyn’s comments in Vanity Fair magazine. Listen, West will definitely get a lot of flack for this, but I think we need to respect someone who is so open minded and vocal in his beliefs.

After what feels like a long spell of silence, Caitlyn Jenner eases into the centre seat with such effortless confidence, you’re left wondering why she didn’t do this years ago.
