Responding to a tweet from Caitlyn introducing herself, Obama wrote: "It takes courage to share your story. Your story matters in the fight for LGBT rights."

A huge number of stars have spoken out on micro-blogging website Twitter to support Caitlyn since her new female identity was unveiled in Vanity Fair magazine on Monday.

Singer Lady Gaga wrote: "Caitlyn, thanku for being a part of all our lives & using your platform to change people's minds... The beauty on the inside is now also on the outside. God bless you and the whole family for sharing it with us (sic)."
