It’s Trans-Jenner Time
Risë Birnbaum
Just when you think you’ve heard and seen it all…there’s more. World — meet Caitlyn. Caitlyn is gracing the July cover of Vanity Fair and, yes, Caitlyn used to be Bruce. Annie Leibovitz captured Caitlyn for a cover that will go down in history about a his-to-her story.
No, this is not a still from Ex Machina, it’s formerly Bruce Jenner, the worlds’ greatest Olympian, who is looking pretty hot in some lingerie. I’m not sure she’ll be the next Victoria’s Secret model, wait — strike that. I think Victoria’s Secret might jump all over this opp.
Remember, this is the same testosterone-fueled person who jumped higher and ran faster than any other Olympian in the world (though hormone levels have probably changed). And now this javelin-tossing athlete is striking a pose like a 1950’s pin-up girl.
As the red blooded all American woman that I am, I still drool over pics of Bruce when he won Gold. That said, I guess Bruce-turned-Caitlyn still looks pretty fetching.
I could crack jokes all day. It’s too easy. This is an amazing story that will hopefully liberate men and women who believe they were born the wrong sex and are determined to do something about it. If Bruce had not become Caitlyn, he might have died. He and his family admit that.
So, Caitlyn is waaaay out of the closet, way beyond that box of Wheaties and way beyond the limits that we place on ourselves.
Bruce was amazing at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. But, mon dieux, Caitlyn is even more amazing on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2015.
