    “I saw photos of Caitlyn obtaining her scuba diving licence at age 10 in the Philippines, playing tennis in Scotland, modelling in Singapore, camping in Wales, riding helicopters in New Zealand, skiing across Japan, honing rifle marksmanship in Birmingham, driving at age 13 at Mercedes Brooklands, and hiking the Great Wall of China.”

    She’s done more things than I have, and I’m probably an adult.

      She was using secret powers, powers that aren’t available to most mortals. The power of being born in a wealthy family.
