"I've never been able to do that; it's always been confusion. "It's always been, you know, I've got one side (of the closet) boy clothes, the other side's women's clothes. It's like I cleaned the whole closet out – the boy stuff is gone.

Caitlyn has already spoken about the inevitable criticism she will face for filming her journey. "I'm not doing it for money,” she said. "I'm doing it to help my soul and help other people. If I can make a dollar, I'm certainly not stupid. (I have) house payments and all that kind of stuff. I will never make an excuse for something like that. "Yeah, this is a business… (but) you don't go out and change your gender for a television show."As well as I Am Cait, Caitlyn is also documenting her new life with a series of blogs on WhoSay.com. In the first post published this week, she thanked fans for their support. "The response to my new journey has been overwhelmingly positive, and I'm eternally grateful for all of your sweet messages, letters and gifts," Caitlyn wrote. "Up until now, I have totally isolated myself from the transgender community so I have a lot of catching up to do." She added: "Seeing how my new friends have overcome their adversities is such an inspiration. They are so well-adjusted and smart. I'll be sharing their stories here in the coming week, and I can't wait for you to get to know them. They are just like you and me."
