Description

In this remarkable memoir, former Olympian and Kardashian family member Caitlyn Jenner reveals shocking and heartbreaking stories from her journey to become a transgender woman and fight for the LGBTQ+ community.

Imagine denying your core and soul. Then add to it the most impossible expectations that people have for you because you are the personification of the American male athlete.

Bruce Jenner, the celebrated Olympic icon and later the patriarch of one of the most famous families in the world, seemed to be living a dream life of success, fame, and prosperity. But the all-American image and million-dollar smile belied a lifelong struggle with gender dysphoria, and it wasn't until the sensational Diane Sawyer interview that the public mask of Bruce Jenner was finally retired, and through the memorable Vanity Fair piece by Buzz Bissinger, that Caitlyn Jenner was introduced to the world and set free to exist on her own terms. Since then, Caitlyn has undertaken an arduous emotional and physical odyssey to achieve the completeness she always felt was missing.

In The Secrets of My Life, Caitlyn reflects on the inner conflict she experienced growing up in an era of rigidly defined gender identities and the cruel irony of being hailed by an entire nation as the ultimate symbol of manhood. She recounts her Olympic triumph, her rise to fame, and relates how her sense of frustration and shame grew with the passing years and the lengths to which she had to go to conceal her true self. Caitlyn in turn uncovers the toll that these personal struggles had on her three marriages and, subsequently, the relationships with her children. She also talks candidly about her life in the public eye as a member of the Kardashian clan, what led to her decision to become Caitlyn, and how she, her family, the transgender community, and the rest of the world has since embraced her new life.

Filled with incredibly personal and moving stories of struggle and victory, of anxiety and fear, and, finally, of surrender and acceptance, The Secrets of My Life reveals the real Caitlyn Jenner by tracing her long and eventful journey to becoming herself.

I don't know how I feel about this story

having read a lot of different transition experiences and other transgender stories, I don't know how I feel about this one.
there's a lot of self justification it becomes somehow intoxicating to the rest of the story. I am also much more confused on the stands that Caitlyn Jenner has on some controversy trans issues these days after completing this book.
I would not recommend it.

loved narrator

Although I loved the narrator it is a pity it is not Caitlyn Jenner herself telling us her true self story.

Vanity Project

I was really looking forward to Caitlyn’s story, about her feelings and experiences. There are parts of this book that hit the mark. The majority, unfortunately, is used as a means to explain how she has been misunderstood and portrayed unfairly. She brags incessantly about what a great person she is, now and especially as Bruce. This tact makes her come off as terribly arrogant. There is no humility here and I could not make myself really care about her or what happens from here, no matter how hard I tried. I am disappointed I contributed to such a blatant vanity project.
