So, Bruce Jenner is now [Caitlyn Jenner.](http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/01/bruce-jenner-debuts-new-look-as-caitlyn-jenner/) Honestly, the sex change operation isn’t nearly as interesting as the fact that they managed to make that wrinkled old man look so hot. I didn’t know it was possible to completely replace someone’s face 😛 ---

I hope she finds happiness as Caitlyn. I think her doctors should use that magazine photo for their advertising. ---

I saw the cover and really wondered if it was a photoshop job. The face looks like it was pasted on the body. That said, I hope I look that good when I’m 65, sex-change or not. ---

:rolleyes: Welcome to womanhood, Caitlyn, as you will see, the most important thing about a woman is whether random dudes find her attractive and worthy of boning. ---

Photograph by Anne Leibowitz, guys. That picture may have taken forever and a half to take, but most of the work was done before the camera went “click” rather than after. I wondered why the linked page was referring to Ms. Jenner as Bruce until I saw it was Fox News. [Here](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/caitlyn-jenner-bruce-cover-annie-leibovitz) is the Vanity Fair article. ---

What am I missing about the name Caitlyn? I’m in the UK, if that makes a difference. ---

Cool for Jenner, I guess. Did he feel female when he was an Olympian? Or did this feeling develop over the 4 decades since? It’s just some person I don’t know personally and I have not seen Bruce Jenner since the 80’s. Then again, I have never seen that Kardashian show he was part of and I only watch streamed and recorded shows. He was totally off the radar for me. I guess he is the biggest celeb. to change genders? I can’t think of any more famous. ---

> [@Baron\_Greenback](#): > > What am I missing about the name Caitlyn? I’m in the UK, if that makes a difference. I’m in the US and I have zero idea. It’s just a female name. Not my preferred spelling, either. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/introducing-the-former-bruce-jenner/721361.md?page=2)
