According to Radar Online, the 67-year-old writes in The Secrets of my Life that the “surgery was a success, and I feel not only wonderful but liberated.”

“I am telling you because I believe in candor,” Radar claim she reveals in her book.

But don’t expect the reality star to be addressing the procedure on a regular basis.

Caitlyn continues: “So all of you can stop staring. You want to know, so now you know. Which is why this is the first time, and the last time, I will ever speak of it.”

Radar claim the Keeping Up With The Kardashians regular contemplated the “complex decision” for some time before ultimately deciding to go under the knife.

“So why even consider it? Because it’s just a penis. It has no special gifts or use for me other than what I have said before, the ability to take a whiz in the woods,” she says.

“I feel not only wonderful but liberated.”

“I just want to have all the right parts. I am also tired of tucking the damn thing in all the time.”

Sex reassignment surgery for a male who wants to be a female involves removing the testicles and inverting the foreskin of the penis to create a vagina.

The glands of the penis can be re-shaped to form a clitoris. More surgery may be required for further fine-tuning and shaping.

Caitlyn, pictured with ex-wife Kris Jenner, says this will be the first and last time she’ll address the procedure.

This April marks two years since the Olympic hero publicly bid farewell to Bruce Jenner in a ground-breaking interview with Diane Sawyer.

To mark the anniversary, Caitlyn will revisit her journey with the famed journalist later this month.

In the teaser, the I Am Cait star remarks: “Have I made mistakes? Certainly.”
