[Above the Title]

[Raybee]

Many people are saying she looks like Jessica Lange on the cover, which I can see. Why not Kaitlyn with a K?

Gorgeous.

The hope is that, as more trans people get this level of exposure, issues related to legislation, poverty and general human dignity for this community will, too.

[Above the Title]

A cross between Jessica Lange and Janice Dickinson. And her new Twitter account broke the internet - 1.2 million followers since the reveal this morning. What a day. I think this Leibovitz cover is one for the ages.

I don't understand the question and won't respond to it. Seriously, I don't get that question. It's not like "Caitlyn" is some unheard of spelling.

Anyway Timbaland apparently shared a photo on Facebook that said, "His momma named him Bruce, Imma call him Bruce." Because the Internet wins sometimes, apparently people replied that his mom didn't name him Timbaland

I have never watched a single episode of the Kardashians, but don't all of their names begin with a K?

Also, that is a really beautiful cover. I think this is great for the transgender community, a community that many, many people still don't understand in the slightest.

And, yeah, I read about that Timbaland thing. I remember reading (in Entertainment Weekly, I believe), that Lee Daniels' mentioned Timbaland not feeling comfortable about the storyline with Jamal on Empire, and apparently made his children leave the room when the two men kissed. So..... I guess I'm not surprised.

Oh, I see. But that seems to be a Kardashian thing more than a Jenner thing. Bruce didn't name Brody or his other sons with a K (not sure of their names, but I know they don't all start with K). It seems odd to me to expect the same of the new name, especially as Caitlyn seeks to find her place in the world.

Also, I have people on Facebook posting about how Caitlyn Jenner shouldn't be considered "brave" when compared to the men and women in the military, etc. It kind of angers me, as there are more than one ways to be brave - and I'm sure most people posting these things don't understand what transgendered men and women go through in society just to be accepted as themselves. Jenner can be considered brave without taking anything away from brave men and women in the armed forces.

But his two daughters with Kris are Kylie Jenner and Kendell Jenner. They are not Kardashian's, but Jenner's, and they have K's so

It's really just a joke but you took it to heart apparently. lol
