Speaking publicly for the first time since completing gender transition, Caitlyn Jenner talks exclusively to Vanity Fair Magazine in a special 22-page cover story.
She compares her current state of happiness to that of when she won a gold medal for the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics; “That was a good day, but the last couple of days were better… This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It’s not about the fanfare, it’s not about the people cheering in the stadium, it’s not about going down the street and everybody giving you ‘that a boy, Bruce,’ pat on the back, O.K. This is about your life.”
Jenner has been shadowed and interviewed constantly over a period of three months for Vanity Fair by Pulitzer Prize-winning editor/ author Buzz Bissinger. Jenner tells Bissinger about how she suffered a panic attack the day after undergoing 10-hour facial-feminization surgery on March 15—a procedure she believed would take 5 hours. (Bissinger reveals that Jenner has not had genital surgery.) She recalls thinking, “What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?”
