But beneath her charming personality and lighthearted jokes, she had been concealing a big secret for years. Since Jenner had been a teenager, she repressed feelings of confusion over her gender identity that later came to light in her marriage and ultimately lead to her decision to become female. We can’t imagine how difficult and brave it must been to announce a sex change knowing that millions of people around the world would be watching.
Since her debut as Caitlyn, Jenner has embarked on an impressive media tour highlighting LGBT issues and becoming an outspoken advocate for trans rights and issues. People across the globe have commended her for the honesty, candour and courage she has displayed since making a decision she had battled throughout the 65 years of her life. She has signed with the Creative Artists’ Agency’s speakers department, is collaborating with the CAA Foundation, currently has a docu-series named I Am Caitlynairing about her transition and was recently given the Arthur Ashe Courage Award during the 2015 ESPY Awards. Read on for Caitlyn Jenner’s 10 steps to becoming a woman.
10. Feeling Discomfort
Growing up in New York and Connecticut, Caitlyn was an avid athlete who enjoyed playing football competitively and did well in sports. In recent interviews, Caitlyn has said that she felt uncomfortable in her own skin growing up as a male and thought that throwing herself into physical activity would help distract her from constantly feeling she was born as the wrong sex. After suffering an injury, she switched over to decathlon training and trained every day to push aside her growing confusion about her gender orientation. Jenner went on to win the gold medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal and was celebrated for her masculine capabilities, all while feeling as though she might be meant to be a woman.
