Olympic gold medalist and Patriach of the Jenner/Kardashian
clan, Bruce Jenner, revealed in an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer,
that he identifies as a woman. The 65 year old who spoke infront of
millions of viewers, including his first four children from his first
wife, said;
'To all extents and purposes, I am a woman. My brain is
much more female than it is male. That's what my soul is. Bruce lives a
lie. She is not a lie. 'I can't do it anymore.'
"I've always been very confused with my gender identity since I was little."
"God is looking down making little Bruce. He gave me all
these wonderful qualities. Then at the end, he looked at me and said,
'Hey, let's give him the soul of a female and see how he deals with
that..
"You know what... it's going to be tough. I've been
thinking about this day forever and what I should do with my life. How
do I tell my story, how do I tell people what I've been through... And
that day is today.' He said. He then asked Diane for a tissue and used
it to wipe his tear-filled eyes. He continued: 'We have to keep our
sense of humor about this. Me of all people - Bruce Jenner - has to deal
with these issues.'
"As of now I have all the male parts, but I still identify
as female." Despite having a female soul', Bruce said he 'hates'
describing himself as a woman stuck in a man's body. 'I'm a person and
that's who I am,' he said. 'I'm not stuck in anyone's body. It's just me
"I was a lonely little boy. I'm a lonely big boy. I don't
socialize a lot. I never fit in. I like to play golf, but 99% of the
time I play by myself."
"I was never attracted to guys. I've always felt
heterosexual. I am not gay. I've never been with a guy. I've always been
with a woman, raising kids. Sexuality is who you're attracted to, but
gender identity is about who you identify with." "I told my mom she
didn't cause this."
"I was trying to block out my feelings with the obsession to be an Olympic athlete."
He said his first wife, Christy, was the first person he told.
"My gender was a big part of my break up" to Linda Thompson
in 1984. "I wasn't as fair to my ex-wives as I should have been. I've
apologized to everybody. I've raised wonderful children This is not a
publicity stunt.. The first child I ever told was Kimberly. She caught
me one time. It was like this big secret in the family that we never
talked about again until years later."
"Kris is a good woman." According to him, when he met Kris
Jenner, he was on hormones and had size 36B breasts. He said he had been
on female hormones for the past 5 years.
Bruce said the most supportive family member by far in his
transition journey has been Kim Kardashian ... and it's all thanks to
Kanye West.
He took Diane Sawyer inside his closet where he has 2 wardrobes. 1 with male clothing and another with female clothing.
While Kris Jenner had "no comment" on the Diane Sawyer interview, Bruce's first two wives sent in well wishes."
