Oh, boy, I can think of a lot of people who need alertin'.

Bizarre.

they are worth about $125 and will drop back down to around $50 when the interest in him dies back down.

I hope she can feel more comfortable in her skin now.

Still too bad she's a republican.

Good for her!

and that it would be feminine enough that she would be less attacked then she is going to be. What a beautiful transformation. I think the peace coming from inside helps a lot. What a travail it must be to be in the wrong gender. I don't understand anyone not allowing people to be who they are. Smooth sailing, Miss Caitlyn.

Thankfully. I was so afraid she would end up looking that the harpy of an ex-wife, Kris Kardashian.

I couldn't quite place who she looked like. Melissa Gilbert and someone else too - can't quite place it.

She looks pretty incredible any way.

Lange has even acknowledged it and said she'll have to look for the picture-she seemed pleased with it.

She is beautiful.
Inner beauty, peace, always reflects on the outside.

So this is who that Jenner baby was really born to be.
The Bruce we know is the lifelong struggle of this lovely woman.
Love & respect.
Live happy.

Can't cut n paste on this phone

Her ex-husband is prettier than she is.

How awkward

she looks like a young model rather than like the person she really is.

It's a beautiful photograph, although I was really not expecting it would be a glamour shot.

It will be given at the ESPN Awards Ceremony

Well deserved.

Kudos to Jenner for breaking this glass ceiling.
THAT is quite an accomplishment.

She seems comfortable and really happy, and I wish her the best. And more importantly, I hope this helps some struggling with their own gender identity to feel a little less alone.

Go Caitlyn!

than what the mindless media has been publishing.

I wish her all the best!

looked like Jessica Lange also.

IDC whether it was photoshopped or not. Lovely.

So happy for her! X

Since thats the main thing.
I know of a woman whose name is written la-sha.......


Thats pronounced La Dash Sha. "The dash isnt silent". No shit, this really happened.

That there is a hyphen.

And the spelling wasnt like the on in snopes. She hated it too. But she also went on to college too.

Creative allegation. I'd dig in deeper too...

I know the spelling is not the same, but still. Better safe than sorry.

For you ASOIAF fans. No spoilers!

She's 65 years old. A woman that age, or any age for that matter, should not have to feel she must look like a 25 year old starlet or supermodel to look like a real woman. Those air - brushed images in magazines and movies are not real.

But for today let her have a gorgeous picture she'll be able to look back on. Many of us have that beautiful picture, usually when we were younger, that we feel we looked at our most beautiful. For some it's a prom picture, graduation, wedding, etc. For her it's her official coming out picture. Let her have it, just once.

I'm just saying that the glamour shot is not real, it is not what she looks like in real life, any more than the airbrushed models on magazines are real. And yet our society acts like that is the ideal woman and what women should look like. It is no wonder that so many women, not just transgender women, are so unhappy with their bodies.

Stop hating.

I applaud Caitlyn's courage. I hope she finally learns to love her body and finds the peace she is looking for. That is why I said I hope she realizes she doesn't have to look like a starlet to look like a woman. Trying to live up to that unreal standard has brought a lot of misery to women.

if it was anyone else I'd say congratulations. But if I never see a Kardashian or anyone associated with them again, it'll be too soon.

I mean congrats to Caitlyn but please step out of the limelight and take the other Jenners/Kardashians with ya.

I hope that this brings the soul peace that she has waited so long for.

Impressive.

just sayin'

photo ever.

No way could I get close to looking that good. I guess that's what money can do for you.

But I imagine the security was probably roughly equivalent to the security at the Crown Jewels.

1. I'm in my late 40's and I have a lot of wrinkles, blemishes and sun-spots on my bod. Not a trace of any kind of natural sag or splotch on Caitlyn.

2. I have a couple friends who've been through transition and trust me, they looked more like Maura Pffeferman ("Transparent&quot for the first year or so than they looked like Caitlyn. To set this example as the "standard" really isn't fair to anyone who is already dealing with appearance/ acceptance issues as part of their transition.

Fox News mis-gendered her repeatedly in it's broadcast about her appearance on Vanity Fair. That should not be happening on DU.

What I meant was that not every 65 year old man would look that good as a woman after gender reassignment.

I will edit to clarify.

Most trans women I am close to would not describe themselves as men the moment before SRS, because it is not their anatomy which defines their gender.

I'm glad for her.

I wish her much happiness in her new life and she finds the inner peace and contentment she deserves.

You GO Girl!

Wonder why Chaz Bono did not pose for a beefcake photo?

Oh, never mind.

and he has become a fine looking man.

where a man would not.

That clan is all publicity though, so I'm not surprised.

chooses to ? has to.

You're absolutely right.

opportunity that Ms. Jenner got.

And the surgeries can be done in Thailand for much cheaper than in the United States (where anything medical here is inflated in price.)

I don't care about her politics or family, this is a good thing.

I wish nothing but the best for Caitlyn and others like her.

You go girl.

I think all of us worry about how others see us, just imagine people chasing you everywhere with cameras, pouring over your photographs with a magnifying glass... *shudder*

A courageous woman.

I can't help but think, welcome to womanhood Caitlyn where the first and most important thing is your looks.

I think in that pic she looks like the average looking 65 year old white woman.

so she 'wins' the woman thing.

The more the merrier, good for you.
