Bruce-Jenner

The highly anticipated interview took place last night (Friday) with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer. Bruce revealed several things about his life to Diane, and celebrities from Lady Gaga to Miley Cyrus and Khloe Kardashian all chimed in. Check out some clips of the interview and celebrity reaction to it!

Confirming what had been out there for months, Bruce Jenner told Dian Sawyer that he indeed is undergoing a gender transition, “For all intents and purposes, I am a woman. People look at me differently. They see this macho male, but this female side is part of me, it’s who I am. I was not genetically born that way, and so now I have all the male parts and all that kind of stuff so in a lot of ways we’re different but we still identify as female.”

Below is some video of the interview:

 

 

One of the most fascinating parts of the interview for me was which family member Bruce says has been the easiest to talk to about his transition:

“Kim told me a story. She goes, ‘You know what really turned me around on thinking about this?’ I said, ‘What?’ She goes, ‘Kanye.’ I went, ‘Oh, okay,’” Jenner said. “He says to Kim, ‘Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.’”

Added Jenner: “Since then, Kimberly has been, by far, the most accepting, and the easiest to talk to about it.”
