Caitlyn Jenner makes debut, will appear on July cover of 'Vanity Fair'
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Olympic champion Bruce Jenner, introduces herself on Twitter and will appear on the July cover of 'Vanity Fair' magazine.
Caitlyn Jenner introduced herself in public, and will appear on the cover of July's Vanity Fair magazine.
Jenner, formerly 1976 Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner, underwent 10-hour facial-feminization surgery in March and showed off his new face and hair in the magazine's photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz. She also made her debut on Twitter:
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.

Jenner appears on the cover in a white corseted bodysuit and told interviewer Buzz Bissinger that he will go by the name Caitlyn.
"If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’ and I don’t want that to happen," Jenner explained.
The photoshoot for the cover was a better day for Jenner than his decathlon gold medal, he told Bissinger. Although he has had moments of doubts throughout the process. He said he had a panic attack after the facial surgery, asking, "What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?"
Jenner has not yet had genital surgery.
