CINCINNATI (Angenette Levy) -- For decades, the world has known Bruce Jenner as an Olympic decathlete, a product pitchman and a reality TV star. Jenner had announced that he was transitioning into a woman in a TV interview in April. Monday, he introduced Caitlyn Jenner to the world. "As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I am free," Jenner said in an interview posted on YouTube Monday afternoon. By late evening, it had been watched more than 5 million times. Photographer Annie Leibovitz photographed Jenner for the Vanity Fair article. "Bruce always had to tell a lie. He was always living that lie. Every day he always had a secret from morning 'til night. Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets," Caitlyn said in the video. Local transgender advocate Lindsey Deaton lived as Bruce Deaton until 2013. She can relate. She had to tell her family that she was transitioning. "I'll be 60 in September and my first reaction was 'you go, girl," Deaton said Monday. Deaton and Jenner are from the same generation. Earlier this year, transgender teen Leelah Alcorn took her own life. Jenner mentioned her in the TV interview. Deaton believes the Vanity Fair story could do a lot of good."Part of my hope is that Caitlyn's transition publicly will give people permission to live their truth and will give other people permission to accept those who choose to live their truth in a safe kind of way," Deaton said. Caitlyn Jenner has the same hope. "It's not about people cheering in the stadium. It's not about going down the street and everybody giving you an atta boy, Bruce pat on the back. This is about your life," Jenner said. Jenner is 65. She set a world record Monday. Her new Twitter account gained more than 1 million followers in four hours.
