Caitlyn Jenner has cleared another hurdle in her quest to officially change her identity.
Earlier this month, the 65-year old I Am Cait star filed documents in Los Angeles Country Superiod Court, requesting a legal name and gender change.
On Friday, via proceedings live-streamed on TMZ, Caitlyn’s attorneys appeared in court to hear a judge approve this request; Jenner herself was not present for the hearing.
According to court documents, Jenner formally asked to be called “Caitlyn Marie Jenner,” as opposed to “William Bruce Jenner” in the name and gender petition.
Furthermore, the filing states that Jenner requested that information required for the process – such as her medical history – be kept sealed.
A judge also approved this motion after Jenner’s lawyer argued that, despite significant support for her transition, Caitlyn has still received “unwelcome negative attention” from private citizens during this process.
Heck, she still receive some blowback from her own family members.
Kris Jenner recently admitted to not referring to her ex-husband by her new first name, though viewers who watch I Am Cait online did see the pair recently make nice on the season finale.
I Am Cait has been renewed for a second season and is expected to return in the spring with new episodes on E!.
