14 DAY TRIAL // After coming out as a transgender woman in June 2015, on the cover of Vanity Fair, Caitlyn Jenner was welcomed by the media as a modern-day hero, especially for the estimated impact her disclosure would have on the LGBT community. She’s taking that role very seriously.
Caitlyn has already been doing appearances and motivational speeches at all kinds of events, but she’ll be soon going on an official tour, E! News has learned.
Caitlyn gets “Up Close and Personal”
“The 65-year-old is hitting the road and going on a five-city speaking tour called ‘Unique Lives and Experiences.’ The company puts on women's lectures across the country and in Canada, and has hosted previous speakers ranging from Jamie Lee Curtis to Hillary Clinton,” the celebrity publication says.
Since E! is the home of all things Kardashian and Jenner, it’s to be assumed that they have the best kind of inside information. Caitlyn’s segment on the tour will be called “Up Close and Personal,” and while the report doesn’t mention the topics she will touch upon on it, they will probably relate to her transition from male to female.
The first stop on the tour will take place in late February 2016, with stops including Toronto, Vancouver, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle.
Ticket prices range from $40 to $500 (€35.18 to €439.81), with the most expensive one including a backstage passage, access to refreshments and the chance to meet and have your photo taken with Caitlyn herself.
Caitlyn and her E! docuseries
Once the aforementioned Vanity Fair issue was out, and Caitlyn came to fully replace Bruce Jenner, the rest of her transition was documented for a docuseries that aired on E!, I Am Cait.
The first couple of episodes of the first season were well received by critics, though they failed to land the kind of ratings the network was hoping for. Towards the end of the docuseries, critics had started to feel turned off by it, because it had clearly become a reality show in every sense of the word.
Still, there is some talk that E! might give Caitlyn a second season as well. If that happens, you will probably not have to pay to find out what she talked about, because it might be included on the series.
