Caitlyn Jenner has revealed that coming out as transgender allowed her to finally ‘breathe’ and be her authentic self.
The former Olympic athlete, who completed her transition in 2015, feels a weight was lifted off her shoulders.
‘I’ve been able to live my life authentically for the last nearly seven years now. It has been the best thing I ever did,’ the 72-year-old told The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.

‘When you finally come out, it feels like you don’t have any more secrets like somebody has lifted 1000 pounds off your shoulders and you start breathing,’ the reality star added.
Caitlyn came out as a trans woman in April 2015 while appearing on Diane Sawyer, and underwent sex affirmation surgery in January 2017.
She tells the publication that she had achieved all she could as a parent at the time of her transition.

On Friday, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star expressed her gratitude to her family after they helped her celebrate her birthday.
