On Sunday's episode of I Am Cait -- the second of the second season -- activist and academic Jennifer Finney Boylan (pictured above) and author Kate Bornstein have an emotional conversation about the word "tranny." The women, traveling with Jenner and other activists on a cross-country trip to promote trans equality, have very different opinions on the word.
