I’m not sure why all of this Bruce Jenner stuff has reached critical mass over the past week, but who knows? Maybe everything is coming out this week because that’s how Bruce wants it. This week’s issue of Us Weekly has Bruce on the cover, and the cover story is basically about how Bruce is transitioning and becoming a woman and his family is finally on board after months of “embarrassment.”
Many thought – and perhaps still think – that it’s not right to say “Bruce is transitioning” unless it comes from Bruce’s mouth. My feeling is… Bruce is part of a reality show, he’s a celebrity and an Olympian and a public figure in his own right. If he really wanted to come out and deny these stories, he would. If he wanted to push back against the transition story, he would. The fact that he truly seems to be transitioning before our eyes, and he’s letting the photos do the talking, makes me believe that Bruce is kind of fine with everything. I also tend to believe Us Weekly’s and People Mag’s sources when they say that Bruce has been getting people used to the idea gradually over the past year. People’s “sources close to the family” say:
“Bruce is transitioning to a woman. He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he’s doing. He’s in such a great space. That’s why it’s the perfect time to do something like this… He’s being very smart about and also respectful about his transition. Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life. The [kids’] concern seems to be Bruce’s happiness, and he acts very pleased with his new life… It is an intense thing. Of course not everyone is 100 percent on board. Different people have different reactions. But everybody loves him.”
People’s sources also say that the family is all for Bruce telling his story and that he’s a lot happier these days now that he’s made his peace with who he really is. People’s sources confirm the rumor that Bruce has been filming a show about his transition this whole time.
TMZ didn’t want to be one-upped by People Magazine, so they did their own story about Bruce’s transition too. They say that Bruce is “far along in the process, has undergone various procedures and psychological counseling, and is ready to show his journey to the world. Our sources say it’s so far along his docuseries will air as early as May.” They also say Kris Jenner “freaked out” when Bruce told her, but the older Kardashian-Jenner kids have been especially supportive.
I’m happy for Bruce and it says a lot to me that he really does seem happier these days. We always attributed it to getting rid of Lucifer’s Homegirl (truth!), but I think Bruce has just finally had the space and time to really work everything out, including his plan for how he would transition and how he would tell his family. It also doesn’t surprise me that the older kids are being supportive – I mean, the Jenner boys and the Kardashian sisters are all adults and they all love their dad. Why wouldn’t they support him?

Good for Bruce. I hope the show educates people on the while process and that the A-hole transphobic tabs stop being A-holes.
Totally agree
Yep. All of them being publicly supportive towards Bruce might be the first positive thing to come out of this whole mess that the Kardashians are.
I think it speaks very well of his family supporting him. He is either their bio father or loved them as raised them as his own children. Say what you will about that family. I think it speaks very highly of their bond that they support him. Kris is a monster, but we already knew this.
This takes so much courage. I know someone who went through this and I bow down to their bravery.
Absolutely, Bengal. I know someone who just completed MtoF transition, and even with all of the emotional, physical, and financial stress she’s been through the past few years, the smile on her face and happiness she’s experiencing being complete in her own skin? It’s awesome! 🙂
The only bad part? She has better legs than me. Not fair! Lol
My best guy friend takes immense pride in his shapely, hairless legs. I’m immensely envious. He would make the best drag queen ever, sigh.
Hear, hear. My overriding thought has been, “That must be so hard,” but I think “brave” is far more apt. At least Bruce is in one of the most liberal spots on the planet–that’s got to help a little. But still: so very brave.
Some men by far make the loveliest ladies.
I remember reading Dolly Parton entered herself anonimously in a Drag Queen Dolly Parton look-a-like contest and came in 2nd(?) place. Hah!

My kid’s teacher revealed that he had transitioned (at some earlier point). The good part? None of the kids were rattled by it. They wondered why he didn’t want to tell them his old name, but didn’t much care beyond that. Nice that they already had a relationship with him beforehand, so they knew him as a person.
Good for her. Now if only people mag would stop referring to her as a he…. Ignorance is so annoying.
Until or if he makes the announcement (I think) it’s proper to refer to Bruce as “he” or “him.”
I actually think it would be fine, however, I really am not feelng his “transition” into a woman. Maybe he’s freeing himself from a controlling spouse, but I guess I’m alone in not getting woman vibes from him. Vain or searching, yes, but female, no.
If this is true I hope he’ll be happy in his life … and hopefully, with that tall, trim body, he’ll have good fashion sense and not look to the Kardashian trash for clothing advice … I wonder what he’ll choose for his name? Briana? Barbara? Jessica? Jessica Jenner?
I say, good for him! I hope the media stops bothering him and people let him live. He’s always seemed like a good person and father who was controlled by Kris.
I don’t think anyone in the Jenner-Kardashian family has ever been bothered by the media.
^^This. I also have to question how the media can “bother” a person who sought out a TV show contract to document his transition. Let’s not forget that little fact.
I guess not “bother”; more so just treating him with trans phobic innuendo. Case in point, that recent magazine article where they completely enhanced his photo in a mean way. It’s trans phobic and it perpetuates trans phobia to young, ignorant or impressionable people.
Sadly I agree, I’ve been saying leave him alone up until now, but he’s doing a E channel reality show. I don’t see it being very educational, and the way that family loves the tabloids, they’ll keep supplying lots of quotes and garbage about the whole thing.
I’ve also been saying leave him alone. And I stand by that. We didn’t know he was filming something. And that he is doesn’t justify tabloids mocking him for it.
Also, he’s telling his story on his own terms. And that’s not a bad thing. Everyone is already looking at him wondering about what he’s doing.
E probably gave him a great price and he’s comfortable working with them.
And if he didn’t step out and say what he’s doing someone else would.
And to have his transformation out there for all to see takes away some of the stigma. That those going through this need to hide.
End of the day I hope Bruce has no regrets and is happy with himself.
I agree, but I still have this feeling that Kris is partly controlling him on this as well……I don’t think Bruce gives a heck about the media, but Kris does and I have a feeling Kris is going to tell him when and if it’s ok to talk about this.
Good luck, Bruce.
No hate here. You do what makes you happy Bruce.
It’s so rude, immature and disrespectful the way the media has been treating Bruce with regard to his life choices. I wish they would leave him alone and let him live his life however he so chooses.
He’s CHOOSING to live his life and transition in the eyes of the media. He’s on a reality show for goodness sake, and filmed a reality show about his transition (sorry, “docuseries”). Us Weekly works directly with the K Klan, they wouldn’t have run that cover without their approval.
Do we know that for sure? I thought that was still speculation.
+1
No matter what you do Bruce, just run away from this family!
I wonder how long he was suppressing those feelings?
Decades. There were rumors for many years about Bruce, but he probably had to protect his image as the All American Olympic Gold Medal Winning Decathlete. But now he’s got the financial security to do whatever he wants, so good for him.
I knew this guy who worked for a well know package shipping company 20yrs ago F-X, anyway ,he use to tell me some wild stories, I always wondered if he was just adding in some information to spice his stories up, but now I believe him.
My friend who worked for F-…X ..told me that there was a shop he use to drop shipments off. The shop was in Beverly Hills, it was a fancy women’s clothing store. Sometimes when my friend would go to the shop at 11am-12 pm the door would be locked and the shop with a Closed sign up, which was Odd, because the store owner promptly opened usually at 10am normally. The F-X guy(my friend) would call the owners personal store number to see if someone could please come down to store and sign for the new shipments. Suddenly The Beverly Hills clothing Store door would open and the owner was there inside. The F-X guy just thought maybe the owner was napping or having a early lunch, UNTIL, the F-X guy went inside and started putting the shipment in the storage area , THERE near one of the dressing rooms by the storage area which was shielded off from public view was a man dressed as a woman, my friend said the man looked like Miss Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbilllies TVshow, the man was dressed in a woman’s suit, scarf around neck to cover Adams apple, earrings, with hair combed forward like a bowl cut sort of.
My F-X friend said this went on a few times over a few months. He just couldn’t believe what he was seeing, so he just thought it was some guy even though the guy looked like “yours truly”..,but he took a good look one day and the man looked him straight in the face, all dressed up and smiled, he realised then for sure who the man dressed up in the back area of the store was …….
He said he asked the store owner about it and the store owner begged him, please don’t discuss it. The thing was, that almost all the guys on that F-X route who handled that store’s shipments had seen the same thing and they all knew it was this person.
It was street knowledge between them, but when they talked about it back then….NO ONE ever believed them.
most boring story ever.
If you’re going to post it, use the real names at least. Own it, if you post it.
TL;DR – Friend used to deliver packages around Beverly Hills 25 years ago. He caught Bruce dressed like a woman in the change rooms, resembling Miss Hathaway.
Thank you Laura.e
🙂
Hehe no worries SSMN! That’s an interesting story and I can’t believe Bruce has lived that life so long having to hide! Hopefully the world evolves a bit more so not as many LGBT have to hide away how they really feel 🙁
If Bruce is transitioning, I am glad he has the support and love of his family. It will not be easy to do that considering how he is in the public eye. I do hope on some level he will use his experiences to reach out to those young( and not so young) people who are going through the same thing.
Life is too short to be unhappy. If this is what makes Bruce happy and at peace with himself. Good for him
Bruce is 65 yrs old, and (assuming the rumors are the truth) is giving us a great example of how it’s never too late to be who you want to be.
well said !! gudluck on ur journey Bruce!!1
Yes, it’s inspiring.
While it takes courage and bravery to transition and I think people should support him, I do believe it must have been difficult on the kids and Kris as well.
Having your husband of 20+ years say he wants to become a woman, is probably a huge blow to your self esteem and ego. Did he ever really love me? Is he gay? Did I do this to him? –Are all questions that must have gone through Kris’ mind. The kids are losing their father figure and learning to love another person. Their manly, Olympian dad is no longer the person who raised them.
-Again, I’m not blaming Bruce or saying what he’s doing is wrong. I just see a lot of people on other sites, or in general, writing that they can’t believe his family was embarrassed or Kris was mad, but you have to understand why they would initially have such emotions.
@ Sally, my bff’s father was in the midst of transitioning when he died suddenly. His wife was his high school sweet heart. It ruined them financially. His son rejected him, but my friend and her mom, after the shock, embraced him. He is buried under his female name. I cannot imagine the depth of pain and confusion that goes along with this but, on a personal note, my friend set a great example of acceptance. And as much as I despise this family, if it offers insight and takes the load off some kid in middle of nowhere America, then I’ll take back a few of the shitty things I’ve said about Pimp Mamma.
@sally…I agree…it takes an extreme amount of courage to transition…but it can be so hard on the family…There was a great picture of Bruce with his arm around Khloe, and them walking and smiling…I have never had much respect for the Kardashian clan…but it does seem like they are taking the high road, in Bruces’ situation….so for that I applaude them!
I agree, Sally. I would think it’s been extremely confusing for his family (if this is even true), and that they would question their whole lives with him, what was true and untrue, was it all a lie, etc. Hell, I’m confused about this whole thing, and I don’t even know him, I just know what I’ve seen of him on tv. I think it’s human to have those feelings, and I say that with no judgment of him.
There’s been talk about Bruce wanting to transition and enjoying wearing women’s clothing in private for literally decades. If we the public know that, there’s no way his adult children, step children, and wife aren’t also aware. But All-American family guy was part of the image he was selling and how he made his living.
I hear you but he wasn’t married to any kind of normal human. If anything, he’s the one wondering if she ever loved him or if she just needed yet another famous last name to breed with.
+1. My thoughts as well.
Maybe you’re saying that about someone who knew his secret and supported him all along. Their divorce seemed very amicable.
I think this is an interesting discussion. There have been rumors for many, many years that Bruce preferred to dress as a woman in his private life, so I truly don’t think this was shocking to Kris so much as her not wanting him to interrupt the gravy train. Prior to the K ardashians becoming a ‘thing’ Bruce made a comfortable living as a paid speaker. As a gold-medal winning decathlete he projected an image of health and masculinity, and any questions about his sexuality or gender identity would have adversely affected his ability to be hired and their financial bottom line. She helped construct his image, and if we know as much as we do about his preferences behind closed doors I find it hard to believe she didn’t as well.
I believe every wife knew. Street rumours have been around Beverly his for over 25 yrs, even further back when he did a movie with the Village People.
His first wife gave an interview supporting him, so I think all his wives probably knew about him eventually.
ITA with both of you.
When you look at his marriage within this context it actually makes a whole lot more sense. Kris knew the deal and liked the money and prestige from being married to Jenner. And for all we know, he could still prefer women as his romantic partners.
Wow, Bridget, I honestly never heard any rumors about him regarding any of these things. Until just recently, reading comments. It certainly makes more sense in that context.
I think there are a lot of secrets, Hollywood knows and doesn’t tell.
Joel Grey, the actor just came out last week as being gay, he was a married family man with children ( Jennifer Grey’s father) ……
Thank you Sally for your honesty. I believe half the people praising him would go Bat Sh*t if his was their father or husband. I was inclined to believe this was all bull but the lingering elephant has not been denied. I think it’s sad that people hate these people so much that only Bruce’s feelings should matter. People don’t wake up one day and decide they want to change sex. If this is in fact true he has felt like this for a long time. I wonder why the need to have so many kids. So is he going to identify as a lesbian or does he like men? Although I like Bruce more than anyone else in that family he does seem a little selfish. Is this not supposed to affect your kids? Also the whole thing about Brody blaming Kris for Bruce’s absence that’s such bull. If he wanted to see his kids he would have but it seems he’s always checked out on some level. But OK. I see those last two girls spiraling out of control 5 4 3 2 1…they’re gonna be looking for the hyper masculine father they thought they had. Only Black. Oh and Brody is fine!
I don’t believe it, won’t believe it until Bruce tells us so.
I’m sorta with you on this.
Me too…sorta. I just have a hard time thinking anything this family does ISN’T an elaborate PR stunt. That being said: You do you, Bruce!
A huge part of the psychological counseling would require Bruce to live as a female for at least a year prior to undergoing transgender surgery.
His current appearance is sexually ambiguous at best.
It’s possible that that ambiguous presentation is by design. Bruce could be genderqueer. This is part of why I’m waiting to hear a specific announcement from Bruce’s camp. How else are we supposed to know preferred pronouns? I don’t want to make any assumptions about Bruce’s journey.
Agreed @Alexis — there are a lot of assumptions being made that Bruce’s gender identity is binary; would be an amazing opportunity for dialogue if he actually considers himself to be genderqueer/non-binary. Would also stimulate a discussion around the appropriateness (read: inappropriateness) of discussing “the surgery”/speculating about the status of his genitals. Can’t wait to hear from Bruce and here’s hoping that this drives a more nuanced discussion of gender identity and trans issues. Go Bruce!
I agree. We don’t even know if he wants to go all the way through to the gender reassignment surgery. There is such a wide range of experiences and preferences when it comes to the trans community.
Agree completely @Primrose Path……
gender is NOT binary. Bruce is not “becoming a woman”-that’s not possible, but unfortunately the societal construct has no alternative way to describe what Bruce is doing. we do no favor to transgendered people by requiring them to conform to one gender norm-even the one they choose.
I am fond of the phrase “transitioning to his preferred gender expression.”
Poor Bruce. Being around all of those narcissistic woman really has done a number on you. Good Luck.
Bruce had Rumours around years ago with his first wife of being seen in somewhat feminine attire. Surely he knows what he wants and has wanted this for decades. He is not making this decision lightly, if it’s true. So far it’s just a source but it does appear he is in the process. IMO
Good luck to him. He seems like a really kind man.
Yeah, for one these are not new rumors, and for two you can’t pin this on the Kardashians, as much as I dislike them. That is just not how this works, it isn’t.
I just wish Bruce could have some privacy and people would leave him alone. He’s the only one of the whole bunch I like or respect.
What makes you think he wants privacy?
Agreed. Everyone wants to give him a pass but is he not just as bad as the rest of this despicable clan. What exactly is so respectable about a man who’s just as willing to pimp out his daughters/stepdaughters? Do you honestly think this was all Kris’ doing? He’s right there with them, putting their utter lack of shame and sense of decency out in public. No one who opens up the house to a camera crew can be camera-shy, and even if he did crave privacy now as he’s transitioning (if he truly is), why the hell would he be willing to do a “docuseries” on the whole matter? Believe it or not, it is possible for a celeb to totally control his or her exposure to the paps/media and shut it down when privacy is truly wanted. Bruce is just as big of a pathetic, classless mess as the rest of his family, and I don’t see how this whole transitioning thing means we should go easy on him. If only that entire family, Bruce included, could just drop off the face of the planet…
I’m actually surprised. I thought the media was overreacting but when People Mag says something that usually means it’s true. They are believable 99% of the time.
TMZ is also very accurate when it comes to Kardashian stuff. I think Kris has Harvey’s number on speed dial.
I’ll believe it when HE confirms it. I still think this whole story is nonsense, who are these “sources”?
I respect that, but it certainly looks true from the steps he has taken so far. But your policy is probably best.
I think Bruce confirmed it when he had his Adam’s apple shaved down. However ,I agree it should be confirmed by Bruce and not a ‘source’.
He actually flat out denied it when he was asked about transitioning by TMZ after he did the laryngeal shave. Unless you think the laryngeal shave is proof in itself?
That’s definitely not proof.
The cynic in me says it’s happening now because February sweeps are right around the corner. Parting gift for PMK?
Until we get a comformation from Bruce, I’m going to stay as gender neutral as possible, though I believe it’s true.
I don’t know if it’s actually true, I’ll believe it when he says it himself, but if it is, good luck. Nice guy who should be able to do what he wants with his life. I hope he’s happy
Well, happy for him.
Now, lets make a new reality show to be sure we know everything about it. Because we really need to know every single details about it…
Seriously, I just don’t like what that family will do with the event.
It must be so hard when the world is watching every move you make. Putting you on the cover of magazines. Many men/women go through this process but they at least can do so with just the people in their lives.
Sad how society is but I guess he is going to bring awareness and hopefully acceptance or tolerance.
Not if the comments on the People web site are any indication. He’s in for a rough time. As of Saturday there were well over 10,000 comments and 95% of them were unbelievably hateful. People were completely losing their sh*t over this. The craziest of them blamed his transition on the “lefty liberal agenda” and, of course, it’s all Obama’s fault. 🙄
Sometimes I seriously HATE PEOPLE.
Is this not his choice, though? Nobody forced this guy to do a damn reality show which has become the bane of so many TV watchers’ existence. The world is watching every move he makes because his dumb ass decided to broadcast every move! My goodness, why does this dude get a pass for doing the exact same BS that we chide the rest of his ridiculous family for?
It’s sad that the media is scrutinizing his every move. I know we are in an celeb obsessed culture, but sometimes we should just leave people be. Like in this case or with mental disorders.
I think a part of why this is such big news is because of his pre-Kris life. He won a gold medal in the Olympic decathlon in 1976. Decathletes are often regarded as “the manliest of men.” And now, this particular decathlete appears to want to become a woman. That is mind-blowing to a lot of people (particularly to a number of folks who were alive when he competed in the Olympics), so this transition would be newsworthy even if he hadn’t ever been involved with Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Umm, he’s a celeb. On a reality show. He asked for it.
No. Someone’s previous personal choices never dictate them asking for attention like this. It goes back to the ohhhh she slept around so she clearly wanted sex. Previous behaviour never excuses anything.
If he will finally live his life with happiness, good for him. However this family has the ick factor raised to the infinity power.. If he wanted to promote awareness, kindness or respect for the community, why not a documentary? Why not community service? Why not start a charity? Or hell, a tour as a public ambassador bringing awareness of the issues affecting the transsexual and transgender communities. But what he is doing, is a reality show for E! produced by Ryan Seacrest filled with drama and false stereotypes designed to bring ratings.. Sketchy to me.
I guess the transition wouldn’t be “real” if it wasn’t aired on TV! Nothing with this family is. Filmed or it didn’t happen.
I wish this entire plague had never been inflicted on the world.
By the same token, if this transitioning is true I wish Bruce happiness because he can’t have been happy living an untrue version of himself for so long with that pack of hyenas. PMK must be rubbing her hands in glee with $$ signs rolling in her eyes at the prospect of turning this into another reality TV show.
This world….*SIGHS INTO COFFEE CUP*
From what I know aren’t you supposed to take the whole process slowly? Aren’t there steps you have to go through in order to get to the surgery part? If so, it seems he’s been doing all the right things and is taking it all very seriously. I was hesitating saying that he is transitioning when my mother and I were talking about it until I did hear some confirmation, just out of respect. So, now that there is confirmation…good for him! I for one would be interested to watch the show because I find the process fascinating. I just hope his transition is treated respectfully unlike the Kardashian circus. It’s airing on the E! channel so I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.
In most cases before a doctor will OK hormone replacement therapy or a reassignment, a person pursuing transition will be required to see a psychologist to ensure they understand the outcomes, it is truly what they want, and that there is no underlying mental issue. In a nutshell, they need a sign off that you are in your correct mind basically. So yes, it is not an overnight thing. I’ve had several friends and a very close family member transition and it really is a fascinating process. I have nothing but the utmost respect for these people.
The only thing that surprises me is that he has apparently taken up smoking. What athlete / former olympian does that!?
Considering the amount of emotional stress he must have been under, I’d be surprised if he hadn’t taken up smoking. Anything to help get him through this.
I think we would all be surprised how many former athletes smoke in private.
When I was coming up there were all these magazine ads and TV commercials showing athletes smoking Lucky Strikes. Back in the day everybody and his mother smoked.
If he wants to pretend to be a woman for the rest of his life ..its his life…but ladies he can whack off his dangly parts , pump up his lips get breast implants and laser off all his body hair to look like a woman but that will never ever make him a woman….he is a male..with two x chromosomes that can not be changed…..Bruce Jenner is NOT transgendering into anything other than a man pretending to be a woman….but you know what honestly bothers me about this whole thing ? ….the fact that they I mean the Jenner/Kardashian Production and Management group have been using and is still using this as a promotional tool for their “BRAND” and their show…and He is using it to Make a series of his own….Instead of going about it quietly they are slinging it out to the public every day to drum up viewers for his series when it comes out.. This is all just another Media Grab by the Jenner Group…
If I understand your comment correctly, you are calling Bruce a man “because he has two X chromosomes that cannot be changed”?
It’s actually the other way around; strictly biologically speaking, XX is female and XY is male.
Slow clap for sauvage. Not to mention there are other chromosomal arrangements that can occur in humans that I won’t even bother explaining, because now I’m annoyed.
Heh heh heh.
I remember ketjo from our discussion on child abuse. She is of the “spare the rod, spoil the child” variety, so the lack of enlightenment, knowledge and empathy is unsurprising.
ketjo, sex isn’t gender. If you can’t grasp that, no wonder chromosomes confuse you.
Ramming it down everyone’s throats =/= making you, personally, uncomfortable.
You’re entitled to your misguided opinions, though; everyone else is used to it.
@GNAT because believing a firm hand when disciplining a child is sometimes necessary automatically equates to a lack of enlightenment, knowledge, and empathy? Ummmm, sure, sweetie. It must be all that “go sit in the corner” nonsense that’s causing children these days to be as respectful and nonviolent, and able to cope with being told no, as ever.
@sooloo: are.you sure you want to agree with the poster that said “but that will never ever make him a woman, he is a male… with two X chromosomes that cannot be changed”? Or “Bruce Jenner is not transgendering into anything other than a man pretending to be a woman”. Whereas GNAT has always shown herself to be compassionate, kind, and open minded.
Sooloo, oh, no, by all means, beat your child. I’m sure he or she will learn so much from your “firm hand.”like how to handle frustration and anger with violence. Like how to lose respect for you as a person and a parent. You a ketjo belong in the same cave. Enjoy.
Ketjo I think Bruce has led a sad and conflicted life. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like feeling somehow “wrong” in your body, living a double life, hiding it shamefully from everyone. Nowhere has it been confirmed that Kris is once again taking the reins to make his transition into a reality show, although that’s probably what that vile woman would like. She doesn’t think of anything but dollar signs, she would pimp out her own death. They are in the final stages of divorcing and Bruce appears to want to go away quietly (as possible) to finish the process. I wish him well and hope he finds some solace in finally becoming the person he is inside.
Until I see a pictured of Bruce walking down Sunset Blvd in a pair of six inch heels wearing only a bikini (complete with camel-toes), I won’t believe a word of this reality crap-fest!!!
I’m truly happy for him, it must be a tremendous relief to finally be in public who he really is inside. This will sound ignorant, but I truly don’t know: Bruce is a transwoman, but does that mean he’s also gay? There seem to be a multiplicity of gender identities and sexual orientations now.
He may still be attracted to women, attraction is separate to gender identity so transgender people don’t necessarily ‘switch’ the gender they’re attracted to when they transition. If Bruce transitions and he’s still into women it would mean he’d be considered gay.
Makes sense. Thank you!
Well if this is true I hope he finds some comfort in it but it is still no excuse to not stop the damaging relationship his seventeen year old daughter is in. And god please pick a good female name and may it NOT start with a K. And again that is IF this is true.
Name choice is entirely personal if it is even needed. Keep out of it.
I just hope this isn’t a publicity stunt. I felt sorry for Bruce with all the speculation, until the moment I found out about the reality show angle. If it were literally anyone else (besides another Kardaahian/Jenner) I would think a reality show on a celeb transitioning would be amazing. But I just can’t trust these guys, they would sell their souls to Satan for a buck.
If none of this was true couldn’t he sue People? I’m sincerely asking. So part of it has to be true right?
He can’t sue because he and the monster are feeding the story to the tabloids for promotion.
Rita do you really think that he is involved with all of this?? I don’t know. I could see her, but he doesn’t strike me as the type. I don’t know.
He could definitely sue for libel if it’s not true. But there have been stories and blinds for years so who knows.
Has any of this been confirmed? I still think Kris Jenner is using this as a ratings ploy. The real “transition” is of him going from married life to single life. They are pulling our legs all for ratings. Their 10th season starts soon !
There were rumors, but it was only when he had his trachea surgery that I figured he really IS transitioning.
I have been binge watching “Transparent” on amazonprime, it has really offered up quite a bit of insight into the whole process. A fantastic show!!
I’ve been away from the Kardashians show for a while and I know that their show is very scripted. So the episode where Bruce gets a personal shopper who is very flamboyant and Bruce doesn’t want to dress “flamboyantly” so he doesn’t want to go along with it. I wonder if that was slightly dramatized. I did like that episode though because Bruce looked really happy when the people at the bar recognized him from Can’t Stop the Music.
I’m very happy that Bruce came out. I look forward to the documentary.
Bravo! Now terminate the contract with the reality show and you will continue to be happy, Bruce/?…
This is really shocking to me but why would someone whole and healthy feel the need to permanently change themselve?
And with this ‘transition’ he is gay whichever gender he gets attracted to at the end of the day.
To be honest I find this Mr Jenner ‘Transition’ story extremely weird.
He still looks manly and handsome to me but if that’s what he wants, so be it. I believe when I see or hear from him in a live interview or something!
The tabloids are always right but i honestly am hoping this isn’t true. I fully support the transgender community but are we truly comfortable with this? Cmon now…its Bruce Jenner. No matter how much he seems to have been emasculated during his marriage, he has still remained a symbol of masculinity… his Olympic gold medal proof of that. But now I think that few will care about his accomplishments because he will sadly be ridiculed or pitied for becoming a woman.
That People mag statement is dreadful. Every sentence is a hackneyed cliche…and it doesn’t actually tell us anything.
Anybody who says “they’re in such a great place/space…” Has got to go.
It reads the way my Dad’s wife talks. Makes me twitch…and I was raised in the Valley.
I won’t believe any of this until I see it…and then, I reserve the right to not believe any of it. I don’t feel like Bruiser is deep enough to have thought this out. I have a family member who is in their own transition period, and it takes some seriously deep introspection. I have trouble picturing anyone in that family being deeper than a moderate puddle.
Of swampy poo water.
Hmm, so the family can be supportive of Bruce and his transitioning, but treat Rob like a fungus. SMH.
does anyone know why Bruce has such a strained relationship with his two older sons, Brody and the other one, can’t remember his name…
the few times I’ve caught an episode of KUWTK, the brothers are always saying how they never had a relationship with Bruce growing up and how Bruce was never around…is that true? I mean I dont think kids would make that up about their own dad
He’s Bruce Jenner. He deserves respect for the things he’s accomplished. If he wants to be a woman, I say good for him and I hope he’s happy. He deserves it.
