The New York Times: Caitlyn, Formerly Bruce, Jenner Introduces Herself in Vanity Fair

Caitlyn Jenner made her public debut on Monday on the cover of  Vanity Fair.

A photograph of Ms. Jenner, shot by Annie Leibovitz, accompanied an article on her transition to a woman after long identifying herself as a man named Bruce. It immediately became a sensation on social media when the magazine posted the article online.

Ms. Jenner, 65, who won an Olympic gold medal in the decathlon, has had a long public life. As Bruce Jenner, she had been on the cover of Playgirl, an author, an actor and most recently a part of the Kardashian family’s reality television empire. Earlier this year, reports emerged that she was undergoing gender reassignment surgery.
