Friday night on ABC, 65-year-old Olympic gold medalist, Bruce Jenner shared with the world, that he has always felt like a woman.
“For all intents and purposes, I’m a woman,”
During the two-hour 20/20 special with Diane Sawyer, Jenner opened up completely, revealing that his second marriage suffered because of his desire to “cross dress,” as well as details of an incident when his daughters Kendall and Kylie and stepdaughter Kim Kardashian all caught him dressed as a woman, but kept the ‘family secret.’
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians patriarch said his teenagers discovered him on security footage checking himself out in a dress before the family’s only full-length mirror.
Kim actually walked in on him in a dress. Bruce says that Khloe is having the toughest time dealing with it, and that Kim shared Kanye is the one who helped her understand to Bryce’s position, and now she is the one he opens up to the most about it.
Bruce received an outpouring of love on social media for his bravery to come forward and share the details.
There was also a bit of shade from a former Kardashian. Kim’s ex-husband, Kris Humphries sent this tweet out during the broadcast Friday night.
He also stated he still has his penis, does not consider himself gay, and actually first started transitioning in the mid-eighties. This will be the last interview he’ll do addresses as “Bruce.”
Whether or not you agree with this extremely personal decision, the idea that someone has never felt at home with themselves is powerful imagery. He’s living his truth now, with the support of his family. You can tell Bruce is a genuinely nice person.
