Call Me Caitlyn


Revelation: The 65-year-old star - formerly known as Bruce Jenner - detailed her transition from male to female in a groundbreaking interview with Buzz Bissinger in the publication's July issue

If you haven't heard about Bruce Jenner's transformation into the gorgeous Caitlyn Jenner, where have you been?!

Views on this extremely public transformation are mixed.. Personally I believe that Caitlyn has been courageous and inspirational undergoing such a personal process in the public eye. The negative comments on Caitlyn really show that even in 2015 people are still narrow minded within a diverse society.

If you have watched Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer you'll have seen him go into huge depth regarding his feelings towards longing to be female even since he was small. There are people going as far to say as that the whole thing is a publicity stunt. Being a part of the Kardashian family isn't always a positive thing, people are accusing Caitlyn of going through the transformation to benefit Keeping up with the Kardashian's ratings. It's a shame that something that will bring huge awareness of the issues that transgender people suffer and hopefully prevent many of the suicides which are committed by transgender people who don't feel that they can speak out.

Caitlyn's mother in her interview with Vanity Fair has said that she now has a better relationship with her than she had with Bruce. The transformation from Bruce to Caitlyn is astonishing, Caitlyn is so feminine and truly looks incredible, at 65 she looks flawless. It's such a huge change, not only for Caitlyn herself but also for her highly publicised family. It must be like meeting her for the first time, a completely new exterior, but the same kind person that we have all seen in the form of Bruce.

Looking forward: Caitlyn created her own social media accounts to mark her milestone day even tweeting her first post on Monday

I honestly can't wait to see this next chapter unfold for Caitlyn, finally in the place she's always wanted to be, happy and finally at peace with herself as an individual. It must be wonderful after a lifetime of knowing you're not happy with the person you are to such an extreme to be able to finally say to the world that this is who you've always wanted to be and this is how you're going to live your life. Caitlyn is an inspiration to everybody, showing the world that it's okay to be who you want to be and that the people that matter to you will always be happy for you.
