Via Katelynn Cusanelli [3] on MyTwitterFaceGoogleBookPlusSpace, “'I Am Cait'
Through the Eyes of TV's First Trans Reality Star: Katelynn Cusanelli of
MTV's 'Real World' | Advocate.com [4]”

Katelynn is probably the only person who's opinion on Caitlyn (and her show)
you should take (you know … because they have the same first name). Also, I
might be a bit biased, having met Katelynn several years before she became a
reality television star [5].

I also wonder just how scripted Caitlyn's show will become [6] (link via
Instapundit [7]).
