In August of 2008 on a rainy day in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn,
I began filming the 21st season of MTV's The Real World.
At 24 years old,
I was the first openly transgender person in the show's then-16-year history.
Only five weeks earlier,
I had undergone sexual reassignment surgery.
…
So,
while watching the first episode of Caitlyn Jenner's E!
docuseries I Am Cait,
I found myself in a unique position to understand and empathize with Ms. Jenner.
I also noticed some things that were quite familiar.

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.
I also wonder just how scripted Caitlyn's show will become
(link via Instapundit).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
