Caitlyn Jenner will once again appear on the cover of ā€˜Vanity Fair,ā€™ a special edition that centers on transgender lives in America.

Caitlyn Jenner once again appears on the cover of Vanity Fair, just three months after the first iconic cover hit newsstands.

According to a statement from the magazine, ā€œThe edition, on newsstands this week, profiles cultural pioneers such as Caitlyn Jenner, Chaz Bono, and ReneĆ© Richards, among many more. Their stories point both to the massive cultural shifts underway in Americaā€™s attitude towards its transgender citizens, and the life-and-death battles many of them face.ā€

Regarding the contents of the special issue:

ā€œVanity Fair: Trans America includes Buzz Bissingerā€™s full Vanity Fair profile of Caitlyn Jenner, photographed by Annie Leibovitz; an interview with Mixed Martial Arts fighter Fallon Fox, by Nancy Hass for GQ; and a Vogue piece by Alice Gregory on Make Up for Everā€™s new face (and reputed new Taylor Swift BFF), Australian supermodel Andreja Pejic. In addition, the issue features a helpful primer on transgender history, a look at gender roles and expression in the movies, and a photo portfolio of the transgender names you should know. Also included is a 1997 New Yorker essay by the late John Gregory Dunne on the assault and murder of Brandon Teena and two companions, a horrific crime that would inspire the 1999 film Boys Donā€™t Cry.ā€

The New Civil Rights Movement reports that the cover has already faced some criticism. For example, Styleliteā€™s Eliza Dillard wrote that itā€™s ā€œa bummer that VF has made Caitlyn Jenner their cover star again.ā€
