Caitlyn Jenner appears like ”every part is in the suitable place” following her transition.
The 70-year-old actuality star was previously generally known as Bruce Jenner earlier than popping out as transgender in 2015, and has now revealed her battle with gender dysphoria started when she was simply 9 years previous, when she would put on her mom’s garments as a result of it ”felt proper”.
She mentioned: ”By the time I used to be 9 years previous, I used to be fighting my gender id. I might sneak into my mom and sister’s closets when no person was round to attempt on their garments, or go play with their make-up. I had no thought why I used to be doing it; it simply felt proper.”
Caitlyn struggled together with her gender id till she was in her 60s, and says she thought she would spend her ”entire life” hiding her true self from others.
She added: ”I by no means thought that sometime I might have the ability to dwell my life authentically, I believed I’d simply should take care of my id my entire life.
”It wasn’t till I used to be 63 years previous wanting again and realising I used to be coping with the identical points I had after I was 9 that I puzzled, ‘What am I going to do with my life?’ I lastly bought the heart to inform my story. It wasn’t a simple resolution, and it took a very long time.”
The ‘I Am Cait’ star – who has had six genetic kids and 4 stepchildren – now says she is not ”struggling anymore”, and eventually feels ”completely satisfied” with who she is.

But now, I get up within the morning, and I look within the mirror, and every part lastly feels prefer it’s in the suitable place. I’m not struggling anymore. I’m completely satisfied.”
