Caitlyn Jenner made her debut on Monday morning, and within about a nanosecond she was all the Internet could talk about. Even President Barack Obama couldn't help but join the discussion. The commander-in-chief tweeted a message of support to his nearly 60 million followers, saying, "It takes courage to share your story," with a link to Jenner's Vanity Fair cover.

In fact, the president was a good sport despite the news that Caitlyn smashed his record for best time to one million followers (Obama did it in five hours, Caitlyn only need four) — she is a former decathlete, after all.
Caitlyn posted her first tweet this morning, soon after the Vanity Fair cover dropped. "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," she wrote. As the most visible transgender person on the planet right now, her words and journey are touching millions.
