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.

Until the transition would be revealed, which it now has been.

She looks fantastic. Wow. Good for her!

This seems to be the point of changeover on that:

Wonder if that tweet will change anyone's mind about that? I'm guessing not..let's watch!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

She looks like someone else famous, an actress maybe, but I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Good for her, she looks great!

 

[bryehn]

Is this a serious question?

Honestly, with the IOC you never know.

 

[marrec]

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).

Just... fucking compliment her and move the hell on, for god's sake.

she looks like Jessica Lange to me

Gird your loins!

I hope that the net effect is good tho. Be amazing for this to help get trans folk to where lesbian and gay folk are now.

 

[Caboose]

Renee Russo vibes. Discounting the probably liberal use of photoshop she looks good.

 

[bryehn]

Wow, you aren't wrong.

 

[JDSN]

Kick Lange out of American Horro Story, put Caitlyn in.

 

[royalan]

Caitlin. Work.

WORK GIRL.

I literally gasped when I saw the photo.

Come through, mama. Yaaaaassss!!!

 

[Carl2291]

Id like to see the un-shopped version.

 

[oo7]

Looks like an actress. Can't think of her name.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Id like to see the un-shopped version.

There's behind the scenes videos and photos. She still looks fantastic.

If that is still true, I apologize to Caitlyn, I know personal pronouns need agency.

I was just swept up by knowing the story, "call me Caitlyn", and the fact I look at the cover and see a beautiful and courageous woman that is sharing this whole process with the world.

Just how I saw it.

 

[Fjordson]

She looks great. There are some other pictures from the photoshoot going around on twitter that are also pretty classy.

 

[John Kowalski]

Thread is going better than i expected.

Ah! Then pardon my ignorance. Congrats Caitlyn!

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Damn, she looks great.

 

[entremet]

It took me a while to figure out the cover. I haven't been following this.

I thought she was gonna keep Bruce.

 

[Ascenion]

Damn, she looks pretty darn good. Good for you Caitlyn! You be you and don't let anyone change that.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

she looks like Jessica Lange to me

Yeah I can see it, but she also looks like another Actress too. I can't think of her name right now.

 

[sploatee]

Thread is going better than i expected.

Yeah me too. Weird. I came in expecting to be hurt and have to explain / educate / defend. Nope. I'm not used to this. This is how straight people must feel! You lucky bastards.


Ahahaha I so spoke too soon. See post below.

 

[Smellycat]

I will never understand this

 

[jtb]

This is great. Happy for her.

 

[titiklabingapat]

I know it's probably photoshopped to high heaven but she looks great regardless!

 

[Darth Pinche]

Best first reply in a long time. Good for her.

 

[tim.mbp]

Looks like an actress. Can't think of her name.

Rene Russo is who I thought of.

 

[commedieu]

I will never understand this

You can google and learn a whole lot of medical and scientific stuff. Or, you can just continue not making an effort to understand others. Up to you, googles right there.

Its on you.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Would anyone hit it?

 

[oo7]

Rene Russo is who I thought of.

That's the one. Good eye

 

[jmdajr]

woah

 

[Carl2291]

There's behind the scenes videos and photos. She still looks fantastic.

Certainly got the cheekbones.

 

[Jokergrin]

I will never understand this

thats ok, as long as people are compassionate

 

[Ace Harding]

She looks great! Very happy for her. I was just wondering when we'd get to see her.

 

[BFIB]

Less photoshop than what her daughters get on the magazine covers.

Kudos!

 

[TheAbsolution]

She looks amazing.
Like holy shit.

 

[Shaffield]

wow thank you magazines and celebrities this is so progressive

 

[Raptor]

Looks like Rene Russo.

Nice.

 

[inki]

To do acknowledge and come forward so publicly with such a change in oneself takes amazing bravery. For the first time in 65 years she feels complete and correct. That has to be so freeing. Good for her.

 

[zychi]

I'm really confused about how the gold medals now. Didn't she break the Olympic rules by competing against men?

Assume she became who she wanted in her prime, would she be able to compete against women? I would assume she would still have the strength of a man if competed?

How does that work in the sporting world?

Not trolling, I'm honestly interested and confused by how this would work.

[dankir]

Holy moly he looks completely different. My wife watches Keeping up with the Kardashians regularly and I was watching all the About Bruce stuff.

Good for her.

I think everyone's confused about it right now. As far as I know (and from experience) muscle density totally goes (the opposite is true for trans men obviously).

But who knows. It's a difficult subject.

She won the medals while she was a man, becoming a woman doesn't retroactively remove those achievements.

 

[Currygan]

looks a lot like Renee Russo

 

[hugocésar]

Very cool. Good for her.

 

[ivysaur12]

she looks like Jessica Lange to me

Whoa.

But good for Caitlyn, she looks beautiful. And I'm glad she's happy.

But holy shit does she look like Jessica Lange.

 

[feel]

Major respect, happy for her. Very cool to find out they're donating the money from this too.
