Caitlyn Jenner is named as Out100's Newsmaker of the Year. In an interview with the magazine, the "I Am Cait" star opens up about legally changing her name from Bruce back in September. "Yesterday was significant, because my name and gender change came through. Holy crap," he shares.

"Here we are-honestly never knowing if this day would ever come. In some ways, it's a little sad," he continues, "Bruce was a good guy, did a lot of good things, raised a tremendous family and wonderful kids. But I just couldn't play that game any longer. I actually cried a little bit about it. I was on the golf course, off playing by myself. It was very exciting, but such a head trip."

In her first photo shoot since Vanity Fair, #trans activist @caitlynjenner launches this year’s #Out100. “I want to be excited about life always. For the longest time, I was not. I isolated myself from the world. I never felt like I fit in anywhere. Today that’s all changed. I’m so terribly excited about the future. I have so many things to do. I feel like I have a place in life.” #CaitlynJenner (Photo by @ryanpfluger)

Caitlyn then discusses about being a new addition in transgender community. "I have been on the outside of that community, until four months ago basically," she says. "Chandi was absolutely right. I've never, ever been able to talk to anybody. I didn't meet my first trans person until I did the show. The only connection I had was watching YouTube videos."

She continues, "And during the '70s and '80s, and even through the '90s, there wasn't any of that. Just like anybody going through a transition, people find it hard to make the difference between 'he' and 'she' and gender markers and name changes. It's tough for me to realize that finally, after all of this time, I'm part of the community. People want results right now. And all this stuff takes time."

Caitlyn, however, is finally comfortable in her own skin. "I always thought that I want to wake up in the morning excited about the day, excited that I have things to do, things to accomplish, things to learn," she shares, "I want to be excited about life always. For the longest time, I was not. I isolated myself from the world. I never felt like I fit in anywhere. Today that's all changed. I'm so terribly excited about the future. I have so many things to do. I feel like I have a place in life."
