Caitlyn Jenner has been named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year, and the transgender reality star couldn't be more appreciative of the title and at peace with her new identity.

"I am just excited about the future for the first time in a long, long time. And that is a nice feeling to have…. To be honest with you, if the worst thing in the world that happens to you is you are trans, you’ve got it made," she told the mag.

The I Am Cait star is grateful she has been embraced, and welcomes the opportunity to raise awareness for the trans community.

"I started thinking, 'Maybe this is why God put me on earth.' This issue has been swept under the rug for so long. I need to tell this story on the highest level you can possibly do it. Not just for me but for this entire community," she emphasized.

Other honorees include Reese Witherspoon, Misty Copeland, Victoria Beckham, and the US women's soccer team.
