Caitlyn Jenner Legally Declared A Woman

Three months after Caitlyn Jenner introduced

herself to the world on the groundbreaking cover of Vanity Fair, a judge approved the Olympic champion’s request to legally change her name and gender. Caitlyn Jenner is now legally a woman, after her official name and gender change was approved in a court 

hearing.

The 65-year-old star, formerly known as Bruce before undergoing a gender transition in May, filed court documents at Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking the change earlier this month. Now a judge has approved her request, making her name Caitlyn Marie Jenner.

The court decision means that Jenner can obtain documents like a driver’s license, Social Security card, and passport with her new identity.
