Caitlyn Jenner has revealed in her new memoir Secrets of My Life that she underwent sex reassignment surgery in January of this year.
“The surgery was a success, and I feel not only wonderful but liberated… So why even consider it? Because it’s just a penis. It has no special gifts or uses for me other than what I have said before, the ability to take a whiz in the woods… I just want to have all the right parts. I am also tired of tucking the damn thing in all the time.”
She sounded happy with the decision but also certain that she wasn’t going to spend a lot more time talking about it.
“I am going to live authentically for the first time in my life… I am going to have an enthusiasm for life that I have not had in 39 years since the Olympics, almost two-thirds of my life. You want to know, so now you know. Which is why this is the first time, and the last time, I will ever speak of it.”
