On June 1 that year she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair. That image, in which she unveiled her new name and look, drew more than 9 million unique visitors to Vanity Fair's website in a single day, a record for the site. In recent years, there has been a revolution in how people think and talk about gender and sexuality, with many, particularly the young. declaring themselves gender-fluid. Jenner now stands at the heart of that revolution as the most famous transgender woman in the world, who has talked and written with impressive candour about the inner conflict she experienced growing up in an era of rigidly defined gender identities. In her earlier identity as Bruce Jenner, she won gold for the United States in the 1976 Olympic Games decathlon, earning the accolade of the World's Greatest Athlete'. She then became arguably the world's most famous father as the patriarch of the Kardashian family, in the massive hit reality show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'. a phenomenon which has redefined celebrity culture. Jenner's life past and present has not been without its ironies. Hailed by an entire nation as the ultimate symbol of manhood, she felt that she was living a lie. And now, post-transition, she is regarded by many as a figurehead for the transgender community. Her memoir. Secrets of My Life, which charts her journey from shame and deceit to self-realisation, was a Sunday limes bestseller earlier this year.
