The first transgender kiss in the history of I Am Cait went down on Sunday night’s show, titled ‘Houston We Have a Problem.’ And…it was every bit as awful as you would expect. I’m sorry, but I believe I’m contractually obligated to show it to you:

 

>> Kip: No one has ever challenged Caitlyn Jenner to anything that she hasn't stepped up to the plate.
>> Caitlyn: What?
>> Courtney: Ooh. Oh. Oh.
>> Kip: Yes! Yes!
>> Courtney: Oh, my God!
>> Ella: (Bleep) I have to sing!
>> Candis: Look it, they're all, like, huddling.
>> Courtney: That was not the kind of kiss I was expecting!

I’ll give you a minute to gather yourselves after that. Okay, moving right long.

How sad is it, that the display of Jenner’s first Trans kiss is the result of some childish, junior high dare to get some girl to sing? To anyone who has watched every episode of this show --and believe me I’m the only one who has watched every episode of this show-- it was pretty obvious a transgender kiss was coming.

It’s just that, in addition to being morally reprehensible, it was also a completely staged and insincere event. But then again, this is the E! Channel, and staged and insincere is pretty much what they do.
