Bruce Jenner is officially a trans woman named Caitlyn Jenner. After her controversial interview with Diane Sawyer confirming rumors that she is transitioning from male to female, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" patriarch has finally debuted himself as a woman.
Gracing the cover of Vanity Fair magazine July issue, Caitlyn said her two-day photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz in her Malibu home and winning the Olympic gold medal for the decathlon in 1976 are not different although the former was better.
In an interview with "Friday Night Lights" author Buzz Bissinger, Caitlyn said winning Olympics was a "good day" but her photo shoot as a trans woman was better. She said the photo shoot with Leibovitz was about her life and who she is as a person.
Caitlyn emphasized that her photo shoot as a trans woman was not about the fanfare, the people cheering in the stadium, and going down the street and everyone giving her a pat on the back. The magazine cover instantly went viral even comparing her to "American Horror Story" actress Jessica Lange.
In the interview with Bissinger, Caitlyn said she does not "really get hung up" with the pronoun confusion. She revealed that as a force of habit, she still tends to introduce herself as Bruce while she is wearing a dress.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn's stepdaughter Kim Kardashian West, who originally made an attempt to "break the internet," is among those who strongly support her decision to transition from male to female. In an interview with Glamour magazine, Kanye West's wife said they love Caitlyn no matter what.
Kim said she knows Caitlyn feels great that her whole family does support her. She added, "I feel for people that don't have that support. There's such a high suicide rate in the transgender community, which is heartbreaking."
