Caitlyn Jenner, born William Bruce Jenner on October 28, 1949, is a former American decathlete who gained international fame after winning the gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Her athletic prowess and charismatic personality made her a household name, but it was her transition in 2015 that thrust her into the spotlight once again, this time as a prominent transgender figure.
Jenner’s journey to becoming Caitlyn has been a complex and public one. She was married to Kris Kardashian for over 20 years, and together they had two children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Their relationship ended in 2015, the same year Caitlyn publicly came out as transgender. This transition was documented in the reality TV series “I Am Cait,” which aired on E! for two seasons. The show provided a glimpse into Caitlyn’s life as she navigated her new identity and the challenges that came with it.
Despite her fame and success, Caitlyn’s transition was met with both support and criticism. She faced backlash from some members of the LGBTQ+ community for her political views, particularly her support for Donald Trump. Jenner’s public congratulations to Trump on his second presidential term in January 2025 sparked controversy, with many accusing her of betraying the transgender community
