Here's The Trailer For Caitlyn Jenner's Docu-Series, 'I Am Cait'
E! has released a trailer for its upcoming docu-series about Caitlyn Jenner. The show, I Am Cait, features Jenner's journey as she transitions from Bruce to Caitlyn.
In the one-minute trailer, Jenner is shown applying make-up—expressing shock at the pressure that women are under about their physical appearance—and also discusses her decision, "So many people go through life, and they never deal with their own issue... No matter what the issues are. Ours happen to be gender identity... How many people go through life and just waste an entire life because they never deal with themselves, to be who they are?"
While driving, Jenner declares, "It's so bright out there. Look at that. Isn't so great that some day you'll be normal? Just blend into society?" Her friend says, "You are normal." Jenner says with a smile, "Put it this way. I'm the new normal."
I Am Cait premieres July 26 on E!
