First look at Caitlyn Jenner's new documentary 'I am Cait'

The one thing that is upsetting about this though is that if she didnt have all of the expensive makeup, a stylist, clothing, and surgery it would have gotten such a different reaction. People only approve if it looks good... so are we now setting the expectations around the globe that all trans community are going to look like, or should look like this?

It sets such a high expectation dependent on wealth that I truly do feel a bad for how this might affect the trans community later on. There are so many people out there who will never have the opportunity to fully transform their look to this extent - and it simply won't be accepted like Caitlyn/Bruce's experience based on the pure fact of attraction and what looks "normal".

Just my two cents...it's great that it's raising awareness but long-term could this really be hurting the trans community by setting unreachable expectations?

​Wow I never thought of that effect, it makes sense. Idk, I truly want to believe that this is how she felt her whole life and that this is a liberation for her so I am really happy for that. 

Also, bringing attention to this problem is also a great thing. But yeah, if she would have looked different and not had all that money to make her look this good, Idk how would people react.

​You have made a very good point here. People are more accepting of something if it's in a "pretty" package. But at least this is a step in the right direction.
