Since Caitlyn Jenner came out as transgender, much speculation has revolved around her sexuality. Caitlyn herself has not said much definitively on the matter, as she herself is still figuring it out. But in a promo for ther next episode of I Am Cait, she discusses desiring a potential relationship with a man, and what she might want out of it.

"It would be very attractive to me to have a guy treat me like a woman," Jenner, 65, says to her close friend Jennifer Finney Boylan, who reacts to the statement with a look of consternation. "That you would be treated like a normal woman... Like any other woman on the street and not make it this big trans thing or this or that. Just a normal relationship."

But, as Boylan reminds Jenner, she is a normal woman and she should never let a man dictate her self-worth.

"It's a thing that women do. We look to men to give us self-worth," Boylan says. "I think now that you're in the sisterhood, you have gone through such trouble to become a woman. Don't be a stupid one. Be a smart one."

One of the most interesting aspects of I Am Cait is how it's allowed its protagonist to learn and to make mistakes and Caitlyn's willingness to ask questions and to seek knowledge has been a powerful process to watch unfold. You can see the full sneak peek on People.
