" In some ways, it’s a little sad. Bruce was a good guy, did a lot of good things, raised a tremendous family and wonderful kids. But I just couldn’t play that game any longer.
"Just like anybody going through a transition, people find it hard to make the difference between ‘he’ and ‘she’ and gender markers and name changes. It’s tough for me to realize that finally, after all of this time, I’m part of the community".
Caitlyn has become a strong figure to transgenders all over the world, she was nominated for Glamour magazine's 'Woman of the year' award.
Although, fashion designer, Victoria Beckham, took home the award, the nomination must have felt like a lot.
