ABSTRACT
In April 2015, Caitlyn Jenner (born Bruce Jenner) sat down with Diane Sawyer on ABC News for an in-depth, two-hour interview about her transition from male to female. The ABC interview was watched by over 17 million people and catapulted not only Caitlyn into the national consciousness, but the issue of transgender identity, gender transition and the overall acceptance of gender diversity in our families and communities. The Diane Sawyer interview was followed up by a cover story in Vanity Fair magazine featuring Caitlyn, for the first time seen dressed as a woman, and shot by well-known celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz. The cover quickly went viral and garnered widespread support, condemnation, curiosity and fascination.
