London: Bruce Jenner, Olympian athlete and step dad of model and American TV actress Kim Kardashian will remain an iconic name and a flag bearer in annals of history. Reborn as a new person Caitlyn Jenner wants to be known as "the megababe formerly known as Bruce Jenner", Caitlyn has boosted a new energy to an oppressed community offering a better visibility to the transgender.
Caitlyn enjoys massive online support; she gained more than a million followers in four hours. Beating POTUS Barack Obama, who held the title for two weeks, Jenner has made the new Twitter record, according to Guinness World Records.
“Call me Caitlyn” announced Bruce Jenner, revealing her spectacular feminine look after undergoing surgeries to uncage her real self. Dressed in a satin cream basque, Caitlyn kicked a storm as she unleashed her svelte frame post breast implant and facial surgeries to complete her stunning look at 65. The photo shoot has been dubbed as the boldest and the most glorious celebrity transition which will always be looked upon by the LGBT community as an example.
The Vanity Fair cover will remain iconic in more than many ways. It revealed the grit, determination and honesty of a 65 year old human being who defied the rules of the world by publically confirming her sexual orientation. Shot in Jenner’s palatial Malibu residence, the aesthetically captured images are the result of deft camera work by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, who in the past has photographed several prominent Hollywood biggies including naked Demi Moore, while she was seven months pregnant with second child Scout LaRue in 1991.
Caitlyn’s attention grabbing magnificent photographs were a perfect way to introduce her new self to the world. What was remarkable about the whole incident was the support that Caitlyn enjoyed by her daughters.
The Kardashians and the Jenners were forthcoming and came out in full support for Caitlyn and for the entire transgender community. It was a reunion of sorts for the prominent members of hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, on social media.
Stepdaughter Khloe, Kim’s sister, was the first from the family to send a touching message for Caitlyn. Khloe took to Instagram and wrote, “We were given this life because you were strong enough to live it. I couldn’t be prouder!! Caitlyn, You are beautiful!!”
Kim Kardashian West, who was in the spotlight soon after announcing her second pregnancy in the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, was elated to see the glorious transformation of Caitlyn. “Caitlyn Jenner for Vanity Fair. Annie Leibovitz! How beautiful! Be Happy, be proud, live life YOUR way (sic),” tweeted Kim. “No matter what, we love (Caitlyn). I know (she) feels great that (her) whole family does support (her),” told Kim in an interview to a magazine.
“I feel for people that don’t have that support. There’s such a high suicide rate in the transgender community, which is heartbreaking,” added Kim.
Former athlete’s 19-year-old daughter Kendall expressed love for her dad by tweeting link to the video of her dad’s shoot. “Now that’s a cover,” she wrote. “be free now pretty bird,” tweeted Kendell.
In a life changing tell-all interview to television journalist Diane Sawyer, aired in April, Caitlyn had refused to reveal her new name. She had however, joked on how her name would never begin with a letter ‘K’to strictly keep away from the trademark Kardashian branding.
Caitlyn’s revelation is a new hope for the transgender community as she has pumped in energy and motivated a large number of oppressed transgender population living in the closet to break free. Her words were iconic, as she said in Vanity Fair interview “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never did anything about it. I would be lying there saying, “You just blew your entire life.”
