Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, revealed her new look and name on Monday on the cover of Vanity Fair. She was quickly lauded by thousands across social media for her courage and beauty.

But Jenner's biggest cheerleaders were from her own sprawling family. Her children and stepchildren, known for their social media prowess, retweeted the cover along with sweet messages of support.

It seems Jenner's social media presence has already grown to rival that of even Kim Kardashian. Jenner's first tweet had been retweeted 150,000 times at the time of writing, and she has gained almost 1 million followers in just a few hours -- set to break Barack Obama's record.

My angel on earth! #caitlyn

The best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun #Caitlyn #ServingCindyMcCainRealness #TransRepubsAreTheBestRepubs (dying for that old school glamour waist to breast ratio)
