For months, “Caitlyn” has been undergoing treatments and surgery to become a female. Now, she has taken to the cover of Vanity Fair magazine to appear for the first time in public as a female. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the first images of Jenner in her Malibu home for the upcoming issue. The photos accompany an article written by “Friday Night Lights” author Buzz Bissinger.
The twittersphere was mostly positive and supportive of the new Caitlyn Jenner.
