Caitlyn Jenner on the Cover of Vanity Fair. On March 1. 5, the day of the Los Angeles Marathon and myriad street closures, Bruce Jenner left his bunker- style home above Decker Canyon in Malibu at 4: 1. Detection seemed unlikely this early in the day; even the paparazzi go back to their wormholes for a few hours’ sleep before the body count begins again. But anything could happen, as it had in January of 2.

Jenner’s neck in a bandage from a tracheal shave, his picture snapped and disseminated into the Internet infinity of insatiable gossip at warp speed. So the more nondescript the car the better, which is why the black 2. BMW sedan, in the conspicuous consumption of Los Angeles, was inconspicuous. Jenner had already been taking hormones. The hair on his body and his facial hair had been removed. Watch The Big Dream Online Hoyts here.

He had had his nose fixed twice and the tracheal shave. On this Sunday his destination was the office of a surgeon specializing in what is known as facial- feminization surgery. Pioneered in the 8. San Francisco plastic surgeon Douglas Ousterhout, it can involve such procedures as hairline correction, forehead contouring, and jaw and chin contouring. There would also be a procedure to augment his breasts.

Several days earlier I had walked with him as he played golf at the exclusive Sherwood Country Club, in Thousand Oaks. He has been a member there for 1. Kris Jenner, feeling generous toward her husband, paid the roughly $2. He played by himself because he almost always played by himself, a loner who said he wasn’t lonely, although it was hard to see the difference. He didn’t take his game very seriously: he could have been a scratch golfer if he had. He often played two balls at a time, voicing the usual golfer epithets of “Sit!” and “Get down!” He liked the peace of it, the Santa Monica Mountains safeguarding the holes like a cupped hand. It was perhaps the only open space he could go to without getting besieged by the paparazzi, not only with their cameras hanging from their necks like evil eyes but also with their questions: “Are you a woman yet?” “Do you still have a penis?”“You wonder if you are making all the right decisions,” he said as he played in the anonymous uniform of blue sweater and gray slacks and hat and sneakers, parring the 5.

I wish I were kind of normal. It would be so much more simple.“The uncomfortableness of being me never leaves all day long,” he continued. I’m not doing this to be interesting.

I’m doing this to live.” Given his sense of humor, he couldn’t resist adding, “I’m not doing this so I can hit it off the women’s tee.”After all the confusion and shame and self- conflict and dishonesty for virtually all of his 6. Could he go on living as he had? He was not having genital surgery. There are an estimated 7. United States; only about a quarter of transgender women have had genital surgery. There is a common misperception that such surgery is somehow “required” to be a transgender woman or man, akin to a certificate from the Transgender Licensing Board.

The transgender community for years has been trying to get the public to understand that genitalia are not a determinant of gender: you can be born a woman with male genitalia, just as you can be born a man with female genitalia. In any case, under the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s “Standards of Care,” formed by a consensus of leading psychologists and medical specialists, genital surgery is not advised for at least a year after transition. Jenner had actually gone through various stages of transition once before, in the mid- and late 1. He took hormones that resulted in breast growth and had his beard removed through an incredibly painful two- year regimen of electrolysis that he withstood without any medication because “pain is kind of, for me, part of the pain for being me … this is what you get for being who you are. Just take the pain.”The physical changes had been so noticeable that rumors started, including a call from The New York Times about what was going on with Bruce Jenner, in particular Bruce Jenner the winner of the gold medal in the decathlon in the 1. Olympics, a symbol of masculinity as interwoven into American culture as the Marlboro Man.

Jenner had once talked in jest about going to Denmark and coming back to his four young children as Aunt Heather. It was obviously a bizarre thought, indicative of his terrible confusion. It also could be seen as a precursor to the fractured relationship that would occur when he essentially lost contact with the four children from his first two marriages, eventually in favor of yet another new family, with values that had once seemed so alien to his, the Kardashians. He was living in a one- bedroom house in the Malibu hills in almost total seclusion after he started to transition in the 8. Dishes piled up. His career was in limbo after an income of half a million dollars the first year after the Olympics. Everything had seemed perfect then, or as close to perfect as it can be when you are pretending your way through life, conforming to the vision of millions because that’s what they expect, and that’s exactly what you give them because you are good at it, scary good. ABC executive Irwin Weiner had offered him a broadcasting job the very same night as his Olympic victory, in Montreal.

He tried out for the lead role in the film Superman, which was too much of a stretch without acting experience, although Jenner was actually one of the great actors of our time. He adorned the front of the Wheaties box.

He drank orange juice for Tropicana and took pictures for Minolta. He gave speeches about the 4. Olympic win all over the country to enthralled audiences.

He was red, white, and blue. He was Mom and apple pie with a daub of vanilla ice cream for extra deliciousness in a country desperate for such an image.

He had a tireless work ethic. He had beaten the Commie bastards. He was America.“Jenner is twirling the nation like a baton; he and his wife, Chrystie, are so high up on the pedestal of American heroism, it would take a crane to get them down,” wrote Tony Kornheiser in The New York Times in 1. He also secretly wore panty hose and a bra underneath his suit so he could at least feel some sensation of his true gender identity. He stopped transitioning in the late 8. He was scared of what the reaction would be.

He decided he could not do this to his four children, Burt, Cassandra, Brandon, and Brody. He needed to jump- start his career.

He needed credibility to squelch the rumors, and he told me marrying Kris Kardashian, in 1. That was a good day,” she says of winning gold, in 1. But the last couple of days”—being photographed as Caitlyn by Leibovitz—“were better.”Photograph by Annie Leibovitz; Styled by Jessica Diehl.

In March, he had been living on his own for about a year and a half since his and Kris’s separation, which would ultimately lead to their divorce after 2. It gave him the opportunity to live more freely as a woman. It wasn’t enough. He worried the most about how the two daughters whom he and Kris share, Kendall and Kylie, would react to his transition. But Kendall was a 1.
