BB Gandanghari did the same rebirth in 2006. So happy for the empowering LGBT community. ??

Even online personalities, Carlos Celdran, Gang Capati, and YouTube sensation Mikey Bustos were happy that the former Olympian and stepfather of Kim Kardashian-West is now “free.”

#Caitlyn is now my favourite Kardashian. Not that I had a favourite one.

I wonder how Bruce chose 'Caitlyn.' There is a power in naming one's self! If you were to give yourself a new name, what would it be? ??

The movie TransAmerica changed my view on transgender people and I'm reminded of that movie with Caitlyn Jenner's story. More power to her!

While she’s happy over Caitlyn’s birth, thespian Liza Diño slammed a certain article as to how it insinuated that coming out had to come with “terms and conditions.”

Doctor-to-the-stars Vicki Belo on the other hand, looked at a different perspective as she welcomed Caitlyn. Instead of just making a typical congratulatory message, the cosmetic surgeon provided an educated guess of sorts of the amount of treatments and surgeries that Caitlyn underwent in order to look as she does today.
