Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion who said in April that he became a woman “for all intents and purposes,” said he’s now Caitlyn Jenner, as shown on the Vanity Fair‘s July cover, and unlike Bruce, “doesn’t have any secrets.”

“If I was lying on my deathbed, and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life,'” Jenner said, according to the magazine.

A Twitter handle, @Caitllyn_Jenner, launched Monday, and gained more than 250,000 followers in the hour after its first tweet.
