Caitlyn Jenner is a U.S. media celebrity and, arguably, one of the most well-known trans people of the 21st century thus far. Jenner came out publicly as a trans woman in a television interview in 2015 and, following a short period of time out of the public eye, famously debuted her striking physical transformation in a glamorous cover-shoot for Vanity Fair magazine under the headline “Call Me Caitlyn.” Jenner’s significance as a subject of academic study relates to two central themes: her connection to the discourse of “authenticity” and her status as a highly visible member of a minority population.
