She also has a verified Twitter account which amassed 1 million followers in just over four hours, breaking the Guinness World Record recently set by President Obama via the @POTUS account. Jenner's Twitter bio reads: "I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me."

Users are also flocking to respond to Caitlyn's first two tweets. Among countless retweets and favorites, fans are taking this opportunity to wish Caitlyn well.

Shortly after the reveal, Caitlyn's step-daughter Khloe had this to say on Instagram: "We were given this life because you were strong enough to live it! I couldn't be prouder!!! Caitlyn, You are beautiful!!!" Her daughter Kendall also showed her support.

In April, Bruce Jenner publicly came out as transgender during a one-on-one sit-down with Diane Sawyer in which he stated that the public would meet "her" in time. The interview drew an audience of 20.7 million viewers and garnered massive media attention.

In addition, Jenner will also participate in an eight-part, one-hour docu-series premiering July 26.

This issue of Vanity Fair is set to hit stands on June 9th.

(Disclosure: Caitlyn Jenner's docu-series will air on E!, which like CNBC, is owned by Comcast).
