0/4) that was down a tenth form last week, even though it was tied for the highest rated show of Friday's primetime. The small consolation that the Disney-owned net can take is that 20/20's total viewership was up 11% from last week for its best numbers since February 24. Overall, with CBS's Blue Bloods (0. 6/3) and more in repeats, the night belonged to NBC with a 0. 9/4 demo win over ABC's 0. 8/3. Still, with the encore of the Tom Selleck-led NYPD family drama proving the most watched show of the night with 6. 49 million tuning in, the House of Moonves won the total audience category with 5. 85 million sets of eyeballs. The Comcast-owned net's night started off with an even First Dates (0. 7/3) and then saw a two-hour Dateline NBC (1. 0/4) jump up 25% in the 18-49 demo – to match Shark Tank as the night's highest rated show. In the 25-54 news demo, Dateline got a 1. 4, a 17% increase over last week. Facing First Dates at 8 PM, ABC's The Toy Box (0. 6/3) was down tenth from last week on an overall declining night for the net.
Since coming out earlier this year, Caitlyn Jenner has gone from being a member of one of the world's most famous families, with little voice or vision of her own, to a transgender icon and trailblazer. This radical transformation is worth celebrating, but also invites heightened scrutiny of Jenner's beliefs and politics, like any other public figure who fights for human rights. The impulse, in many quarters, is to support Jenner unconditionally — but it's essential for transgender rights and feminist activists to have tough conversations about her role in both movements. Jenner uses her celebrity to make an emotional case for transgender acceptance. At the same time, she's exploring in real time what it means to be transgender — not just for herself but the estimated 700, 000 trans Americans whose lives look nothing like hers. She's eager to be an advocate but has admitted there's still a lot to learn. Jenner seems sensitive to the criticism that she enjoys wealth, power and respect that few transgender people possess.
Bornstein joined the church after graduating from Brown University, rising through the ranks of the elite Sea Org and working directly with L. Ron Hubbard. She was drawn to the idea that in Scientology we're all thetans—beings that are neither male nor female, but have no gender. She married and had a child in the church before leaving more than a decade later. As a so-called suppressive person, she's had no contact with her daughter (and later, grandchildren) since. But the individual storylines may pale in comparison to the real drama aboard the bus. This season again captures Jenner learning about the community she's found herself an unwitting spokeswoman for—no small feat when Bornstein says divisions in the trans community now run "deep and bitter. " Bornstein also locks horns with English professor and New York Times writer Jennifer Finney Boylan, whom she jokingly refers to as her evil twin. The fellow lefty "can communicate to areas I can't reach, " Bornstein says admiringly. (Like Bornstein, Boylan is partnered with a woman, and tries in vain to convince Jenner that being a woman doesn't necessitate dating a man. )
After her appearance on Season 1, Bornstein got blasted on trans blogs for referring to the trans community as "freaks"—a badge of honor for her, from the hippie days, but not so for others. "I said we're seen as freaks by most people, and I'll stand by that, " she said. "All you need to do is go to the comments column of any trans blogger, including Caitlyn, and count the number of times 'freaks' turned up. " Bornstein says she's the token non-binary person on the show, and that those who identify outside the strict boundaries of "man" and "woman" now occupy the titillating space transsexuals held just a decade ago. "You know, the X-Men are called freaks too, " she added. "Am I saying we're mutants? No. But I'm saying we do have superpowers. " Bornstein's catalogued her outsider identities through decades of writing: trans, Jewish, and a masochist, among others. (Her 2013 memoir, fittingly, is subtitled "The true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology, and leaves twelve years later to become the lovely lady she is today. ")
Cait's going to be a spokesperson for the community. This is something she's going to have to understand. " In Jenner's revealing "20/20" interview with Diane Sawyer in April, the former Olympian said she is a Republican. When Sawyer asked Jenner if she cheered on Obama after he recognized the transgender community during a State of the Union address, Jenner replied: "He actually was the first one to say the actual word transgender, I will certainly give him credit for that. But not to get political, I've just never been a big fan -- I'm kind of more on the conservative side, " she said.
