UPDATE: “Call Me Caitlyn” : Meet The Newest Member Of The Jenner Family
Bruce Jenner will cover an issue of Vanity Fair this summer after announcing he would transition from male to female in April, sources tell People.
Longtime VF contributor and lenslady behind the controversial Kimye Vogue cover Annie Leibovitz will shoot Jenner for his first post-transition interview.
The 65-year-old Olympian and father of six previously sat down with Diane Sawyer, finally ending months of speculation by declaring, “for all intents and purposes, I am a woman.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Jenner followed this with an E! special, Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce, during which he told stepdaughter Khloe Kardashian that he would be transitioning “probably in the spring.”
The Vanity Fair cover will most likely coincide with an 8-part docu-series chronicling Jenner’s journey, premiering July 26, at 9 p.m. ET on E!

Fake

For I don’t know how long, Jenner’s been looking like somebody’s unmarried and forbidding spinster aunt, but as long as Jenner isn’t telling the rest of us how we have to present ourselves, I don’t care. Nor does this turn me into a Vanity Fair customer.

@James Sigmon: What’s Fake?

Reportedly, he will stick to the family tradition of using female names beginning with the letter “K”. His female name will be “Kaitlyn”. I find the obsession with “K” names more bizarre than his gender reassignment.

Ugh disgusting.

I would much rather the cover of Vanity Fair or any national magazine for that matter, showcase any other transgendered man or woman other than Bruce Jenner. Someone who really struggled with their decisions and making their changes.

He us just like the rest of the Kardashians

There always was “something” about Jenner and Louganis that more or less helped put them into Just-Don’t-Like’umville, USA. That “something” turns out to THEM. Where as Jennifer, er, um, Jenner came off as a strait up arrogant ass Louganis countered as a queen you wanted to bend over and ram away in until he makes the mistake of opening his mouth and says hello. Sad but true for both.
Today’s gay Olympians have it totally different, which helps make the Gay Games irrelevant in my opinion. To this day I still think the entire 2008 USA Gymnastics team look more of a casting call for twink porn than athletes going for the gold, which not one of them won. I am embarrassed to say that they looked a bit TOO sweet to be taken seriously, which no one really did.

Good for her. I just hope she realizes that her “friends” Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are not only NOT advocating for gay, bi, lesbian, intersex, and queer people, but they are actively working against us, and against trans people like Br______ Jenner.
aliengod
Yuck. Enough with this weirdo already!
Avery Alvarez
I don’t care for Bruce Jenner.
I think he is just as narcissistic and self-centered as anyone of the Kardashian koven, and that he and they are milking this “journey” for a the $$$ it’s worth.
There are better role models for the transgender community, like Laverne Cox.

@Avery Alvarez: I have to agree with this. It seems to be more about money and publicity, than furthering Trans exposure and acceptance. Unfortunately, he is tainted by the Kardashian media whore empire, so it is difficult to tell what the true motivations are. Only Trans people will be able to decide for themselves about Jenner.

I really don’t think there’ll be a great deal of interest in this. Media outlets will try to generate some buzz, but his story’s been covered by Diane Sawyer pretty comprehensively. A big part of it is that he’s old now. If he was a hot 25-year-old man who’d transitioned to a hot 25-year-old woman, there’d be a lot more interest. That’s just our culture.
Bob LaBlah
Does anyone know why the transgender “activists” (who were quick to condemn and call for Rupaul’s on a platter) are silent on this whore, Bruce Jenner? Talk about a double standard.
Bob LaBlah
I meant to say call for Rupaul’s head on a platter.
Captain Obvious
He said he’s keeping his penis, women don’t have penises. Proof that this was all for publicity and an insult to real trans people who actually are struggling to make their body fit the gender they feel.
He’s just going to fake it until people have moved on and then take the tissues out of his bra. It’s crazy how real trans people don’t get the attention he has when they have actually transitioned and done things worthy of recognition afterward as their new identity.
Bruce is just another Kardashian. Won’t be long before they neuter Scott like they did Rob.
Raphael
@Captain Obvious: yes some women have penis
IvanPH
No, ma’am.
Arcamenel
@Captain Obvious: Not all trans people choose to get rid of their penis/vagina. It’s about identity not biology.
Curty
Just a guy who wants to dress in drag. He’s anti gay, anti real trans. He cares nothing about equality, he supports a party that is against who he claims he is. They don’t want to give him no rights, not even to a bathroom. He irks me… like being gay is such an insult… not all gays want to dress like a women too Bruce. Idiot. He’s a homophobe.
Bob LaBlah
@Curty: Ever wonder what his deep down feelings are about his son-in-law Kanye are (hint, wink)? Seems a bit odd not ONE picture of the three of them (including Kim) exists or if there is it hasn’t been published, doesn’t it?
The amount of shit this ol’ once-upon-a-time ass queen is full of would put a hog to shame.
Captain Obvious
@Raphael: I’m not sure you know what a women is. Women by definite cannot have a penis. Sex organs are literally the main thing people use to decide man or woman.
@Arcamenel: so you feel that transgender and drag are one in the same? Honestly this is the same exact terrible argument that so called gender fluid people create that completely negates the decades long battle to convince people that sexuality isn’t chosen.
If transgender was merely identity then people wouldn’t be killing themselves or being killed over it. It’s the argument of being born in the wrong body that even made me care about trans people and their struggle so you’re not helping by spreading this reverse argument.
You can’t have it both ways. If Bruce wants to dress in drag more power to him, if his alternate persona is female more power to her, but stop claiming transgender because transgender literally is the process of making your born gender match the gender you feel inside and Bruce is not doing that therefore HE is not trans. He also happens to be apart of the biggest attention seeking group in history so it’s no surprise that he’s not going through with the surgery, merely correcting botched surgeries from the past, while raking in ratings for the show with a two part special. Gimme a break. They had nothing to talk about on that show and now his cross dressing will give them fodder for the next two or more years while claiming Good Samaritan status as pioneers of the trans community without actually being trans. Hell I could start wearing girl sweaters and claim I was trans according to your definition.
This is worse than Queerty claiming any guy who’s ever looked at another guy twice is gay and a sexually fluid unicorn who wants to bang everyone equally.
