All of the rumors and speculation were put to rest by Bruce Jenner during his interview with Diane Sawyer. That’s when it was confirmed that indeed Bruce was transgender. Fast forward a few weeks and Cait made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair!
We didn’t know just how fitting it was for Caitlyn to make her first appearance as a cover girl. But by gosh she has definitely proven to be a bad bitch! Caitlyn Jenner, unlike Bruce, is no shrinking violet push over. She is FIERCE. An instant icon, she broke twitter more than her step-daughter Kim broke the internet. Cait is the first person to reach a million followers in the record time of 4 hours.
Through her show, we’ve learned that Cait is using her new popularity for good and she’s very compassionate. She takes her role of “Trans Ambassador” very seriously. A position that she neither applied for nor even expressed an interest in. But in true champion form, she has accepted the pressure thrust upon her. When you’re a public figure you don’t get a choice as to whether you want to be a role model or not. So thanks Cait for being gracious enough to answer the call to lead yet again.
Caitlyn we welcome and support you! I can’t wait to see all that you have in store for this world. Congratulations for having the strength and courage to show everyone who you truly have been for 65 years. Just by living your truth, you are a beacon not only for transgender and gay young people, but also the hundreds of thousands of adults who still deem it necessary to live in the closet.
