First of all,
I had never expected to write about this realityshow. I actually do not like realityshows, because they do not feel real to me. But I had my own reason to sit through 10 seasons of KUPWTK :)
A few months ago I found out that someone close to me is struggling with similar issues as the then Bruce Jenner. I was in complete unknown territory and since I'm the only person who knows I embarked on a journey to discover everything I could about this. And since Bruce/Caitlyn was everywhere in the media, I decided to start at the beginning and I got my hands on the whole series of KUPWTK. All throughout the first 9 seasons I searched for clues. Hoping that I might catch a detail of behaviour that would explain all this. But it didn't. Then ofcourse Halfway season 10 all came out, and the docu serie about Cait's transformation came out as well.
My fiance asked me why had I bothered watching all 10 seasons if I what I was looking for was just in the end. I explained that I had thought about that myself, and came to the conclusion if I hadn't watched from the beginning I would have judged the way they were acting towards Cait so hard. But by watching from the beginning I grew to have a better understanding on how the interrelationships worked.
Ofcourse I do understand that what they show on the show has a certain narrative and we don't see everything. They only show us what they want us to see. But it all made sense when I watched I am Cait.

I applaud Kim and Kanye for being so openminded. The two people that you'd expect to be to most superficial if you believe everything the tabloids write are the ones with the biggest hearts. While the rest were really struggling with all this, they just said "Be Yourself!" I found that the most beautiful thing that could have been said.
I don't want to talk about all the other things that went on on the show even though just like everyone I have an opinion. I am only writing this because I want to thank both shows of giving me a better understanding into this issue. So I can help my friend better. I actually have learned a lot and I would have never thought that to be possible from shows like these.
