When “I Am Cait” began, it was clear that the show’s main focus would be on Caitlyn Jenner being confronted with the realities of what it means to live in the world as an out trans woman. However, what was less clear at the show’s outset was the fact that a significant portion of the show would be spent examining, even subtly, the gap between what Caitlyn experiences in this process, compared with what a normal woman’s experience would be.
Take new best friend Candis Cayne, for example. When the two sit down for a nice lunch out, they talk about navigating chivalry when it’s two women going out, but they also speak a little about Candis’ car trouble.
