Caitlyn Jenner is ready to upstage her daughters.

The 'I Am Cait' star - who was known as Bruce Jenner before undergoing a gender transition - has joked that she's ready to step in the spotlight alongside Kendall and Kylie Jenner and stepchildren Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian.

She said: “Do you know how many boring photos I've taken in my life? 'Just stand in the background. Don't get in the girls' way. Stand waaaay in the back. Not anymore.”

The 66-year-old former Olympian also opened up about her hopes for the transgender community.

She added to TIME magazine: “I want to make a positive impact on this community and on the world. This happens all over the world, and it's something almost nobody understands ...

“There are so many issues for trans people. There's a lot of work to be done. I am so excited about the future, and hopefully I can have an impact in opening up this conversation.”

Meanwhile, Caitlyn previously admitted she “cried a little bit” when she officially changed her name.

She shared: “Yesterday was significant, because my name and gender change came through. Holy c**p. Here we are - honestly never knowing if this day would ever come. In some ways, it's a little sad.

“Bruce was a good guy, did a lot of good things, raised a tremendous family and wonderful kids. But I just couldn't play that game any longer. I actually cried a little bit about it. I was on the golf course, off playing by myself. It was very exciting, but such a head trip.”
