Good for her.

edit: more pics.

Caitlyn Jenner did not spell her first name with a "K" because she wants a clean break from the Kardashian moniker ... TMZ has learned.

Sources closely associated with Bruce tell us Caitlyn wants to make it clear to her family and the world ... she is her own person. That sounds obvious, but we're told it was an extremely meaningful choice for her ... she has never been her own person before, and becoming part of the Kardashian brood would undermine her goal.

Our sources say it's not that there's bad blood between Caitlyn and the Kardashians ... it's all about self-identity.

Well THIS is about to blow up on Twitter and Facebook.

Good for her.

 

[The Llama]

Took me a minute to realize who that is!

Good for her.

 

[dream]

Surprised it wasn't Kaitlyn Kardashian.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Not nearly enough booty or baby oil.

 

[thequickandthedead]

why does her face look shopped?

 

[PhantomHound]

Break the internet

why does her face look shopped?

Because every magazine cover is shopped.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Surprised it wasn't Kaitlyn Kardashian.

Kris wasn't gonna have any of it I bet.

 

[Ahasverus]

why does her face look shopped?

Because she has some good years on her.

She looks happy, best wishes for her.

 

[womfalcs3]

Did he get the full treatment down there? How does that typically work? Is it a scarred flat skin surface all the way to the anus?


Actually looks convincing.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Surprised it wasn't Kaitlyn Kardashian.

But her last name is Jenner. Way too much history tied with that name to completely change it.

 

[MMarston]

why does her face look shopped?

something something you could totally tell by the pixels

 

[Jokergrin]

good for her

hope this raises good awareness for the trans community

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Buzz Bissinger wrote the profile, huh?

Now I'm interested.

 

[Bam]

So happy for her. :'D

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

So if Bruce Jenner is no more will the Olympic titles be handed over to the seconds place finishers?

 

[Matty77]

Good for her, I hope this helps with social acceptance and attention to the issue. Sucks that it takes a former Olympian just to humanize people that have a serious medical issue that needs treatment, but hopefully that does help so more people seek the treatment they need without fear.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

So if Bruce Jenner is no more will the Olympic titles be handed over to the seconds place finishers?

Is this a serious question?

 

[War Peaceman]

This is great work by everyone involved. Especially Caitlyn, good work people!

 

[Razmos]

[GK86]

I had to google her. Good for her.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

No kidding.

 

[lazybones18]

she looks great

 

[Jinfash]

Why you so obsessed with her private parts— something you wanna tell us?

 

[DrFunk]

Caitlyn with a C!

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Oh shit I love Buzz.

 

[marrec]

*she

The appropriate pronoun is she.

I'm more concerned by the "actually looks convincing". Because, you know, it's just a dress up game.

 

[Psychoward]

Maybe it's the phtoshop and magazine makeup at work but considering her age and past she's pretty damn attractive, 👍

 

[jorgeton]

She looks fierce.

 

[Sky Interloper]

I didn't watch the interview, so I didn't know she was so advanced in her transition. She looks really good, I didn't recognize her at first.

This will be big.

 

[Psychoward]

Oh wait I think I misread, still though

 

[Black Republican]

Wonder who CJ has eyes on

 

[LevelNth]

Nice to see the family donating the assuredly massive, massive royalties Vanity Fair paid for this (especially considering the completely orchestrated timing) to desperately needed LGBT initiatives for those who need support, and not simply profiting off of this.

Lol I'm just kidding, but wouldn't it be nice if that actually did happen?

 

[Razmos]

I'm more concerned by the "actually looks convincing". Because, you know, it's just a dress up game.

It's like a textbook example of how not to talk about a transgender person.

• Saying "he"
• Focusing on genitals/surgery, asking invasive questions which they wouldn't ask of a cisgender person
• saying "looks convincing" like they are wearing a disguise

I mean damn

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I didn't watch the interview, so I didn't know she was so advanced in her transition. She looks really good, I didn't recognize her at first.

This will be big.

If I remember correctly that interview was filmed much earlier in the year. Prior to when she was involved in that car crash in February.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I said god damn! Amazing. So happy for her.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

lol..I'm asking myself "Who the hell is that?" and then I remembered.

So if Bruce Jenner is no more will the Olympic titles be handed over to the seconds place finishers?

Geezuz..

 

[Dany]

Wow, so awesome

 

[Tagyhag]

I know people are trying to say "she" and "her" as many times in their posts as they can.

But didn't Caitlyn want to still be referred as "he" for now? We should respect that.

 

[commedieu]

lol..I'm asking myself "Who the hell is that?" and then I remembered.

Geezuz..

Right... and in all honesty.. "whose this cougar... hmm?" Guess that dystopia rolls on

It's still a good thing.

It's massively brave of her to transition publicly and openly like this, and that's probably doing more good than the money would anyhow.

She had a good phenotypical transformation medically, that's all. Some men can't fully look female after treatment. She's a female by gender identity but not genetically (x and Y chromosomes).

 

[Roo]

It took me longer than expected to recognize who that was.
Impressive to say at least.
Good for her.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

That was at the time of the television interview when she was still Bruce.

Though I suppose we should wait until the interview is fully published.

I'm not getting into that one. I know you're not trying to be rude but I'm trans and I don't have the energy to start discussing all of that stuff, it's a bit too personal and sensitive. I'm sure someone else will pick up the discussion there.

Back on topic : posing in a basque is a pretty punk move. I like it.

Jinkies, I'd stop if I were you

This seems to be the point of changeover on that:

@Caitlyn_Jenner
I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me.
