Caitlyn Jenner Shares New Photo, Answers Reader Mail

Caitlyn Jenner has taken the opportunity to open way up once again.

 
"Hi again. It’s Caitlyn. Wow — what a week,” the 65-year-old former Olympian writes in a new blog entry.
“Your outpouring after my note last week was incredible. (In fact, so many of you sent me questions and comments that my site crashed!)

"Even though I can’t get back to each and every one of you, I want you to know that I’m reading your kind words and that they mean the world to me. Here are just a few to get us started."

With that, the stepfather of Kim and company responded to a couple reader questions.

Let's take a look at her revealing answers, shall we?

WHY DID SHE COME OUT NOW AS TRANSGENDER?

I had all of the issues, but I was growing up in a very different time and I had no information. Meanwhile, I had all of my diversions — sports…this…that…married…family.

But after 65 years, here I was right back with the same problems that I had when I was 10 years old and I had to finally do something about that.

WHAT HAS BEEN HER FAVORITE PART OF BEING CAITLYN?

Just being able to be myself. Recently I went on a trip with some of my new friends and I had such a wonderful time. I packed for the first time — as just Caitlyn, nobody else — which is the first time I’ve ever done that. 

I was gone for five days and had such a fantastic experience with all of these girls who have all been through the same thing. We had so many stories to tell. We had so many things that we were all dealing with. It was just truly a liberating experience.
I knew then that I could never go back.
