Caitlyn Jenner, the transgender Olympic champion formerly known as Bruce, unveiled her new name and sexy look Monday in a Vanity Fair covershoot — drawing widespread praise and smashing a Twitter record.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender campaigners — and many well-wishers — welcomed the high-profile debut, as did the 65-year-old Jenner`s family, which includes the media-savvy celebrity Kardashian clan.
Jenner managed to break President Barack Obama`s record for amassing one million Twitter followers in the shortest time — about four hours.
“I`m so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self,” Jenner wrote in her first tweet after the magazine released the July cover photo by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.
