Bruce Jenner: After transgender operation
US Olympic champion turned reality TV star
Bruce Jenner came out as transgender on
Friday, saying: “For all intents and purposes,
I’m a woman.”
In a highly anticipated, two-hour TV interview
— hailed by transgender rights’ campaigners
and his own Kardashian-linked family — the
65-year-old said he had wrestled with his
sexual identity since he was a kid.
“I’ve always been confused about my gender
identity since I was this big,” he told ABC’s
celebrity interviewer Diane Sawyer.
“Here I am, stuck — and I hate the word — (a)
girl stuck in a guy’s body … As of now I have
all the male parts and all that kind of stuff,”
he said.
But asked point blank if he was a woman,
Jenner said: “Yes. For all intents and
purposes, I’m a woman.”

Speculation that the actor, race-car enthusiast
and 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics
decathlon gold medalist was undergoing a sex
change has been rich fodder for supermarket
tabloids for months.
Supposed telltale signs, based on paparazzi
photos from the streets of Los Angeles,
include shaved limbs, long hair worn in a
ponytail and what appears to be a sports bra
under a T-shirt.
Jenner said he identifies himself as “her,” but
not by a specific name. The ABC interviewer
used “he” and “him” throughout, which the
former Olympian was comfortable with.
He stressed the difference between gender
identity and sexuality. “I am not gay,” Jenner
said, adding: “I am, as far as I know,
heterosexual. I’ve always been with a woman,
raising kids.”
Just before making the long-expected
announcement, Jenner symbolically let his
hair down, physically.
Bruce Jenner: has he always looked like a
woman?
“Let’s take the damn ponytail out,” he told
Sawyer, smiling.
Born outside New York in October 1949,
thrice-married Jenner became an American
sports hero when he set a world record with
his Montreal decathlon victory.
Leveraging his fame, he appeared on boxes of
Wheaties, a popular American cereal known as
“the breakfast of champions,” then tried his
hand as a movie actor, with less than stellar
results.
But it was through his marriage to the former
Kris Kardashian that he once again became a
household name in “Keeping Up with the
Kardashians” in which he appeared as the
sometimes bemused stepfather of her
flamboyant daughters Kourtney, Kim and
Khloe.
He and Kris Kardashian have two daughters of
their own, but they obtained a divorce in
December, 14 months after separating —
although he has been seen still wearing a
wedding ring.
After the interview aired, Kim Kardashian
tweeted: “Love is the courage to live the
truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I
love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter”
Jenner’s 89-year-old mother hailed her son’s
announcement, comparing her pride to that
when he won at the Olympics.
“I never thought I could be more proud of you.
But I’m learning I can be.”
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
rights group GLAAD welcomed Jenner’s
announcement.
“Today, millions of people learned that
someone they know is transgender,” GLAAD
head Sarah Kate Ellis said.
“By sharing this story, Bruce Jenner has
shined a light on what it means to be
transgender and live authentically in the face
of unimaginable public scrutiny.
“Though Jenner’s journey is one that is deeply
personal, it is also one that will impact and
inspire countless people around the world,”
she added.
Jenner’s son Brandon tweeted simply: “Proud
son,” along with an Instagram picture of
himself as a young boy perched on his smiling
father’s shoulders.
Step-daughter Khloe Kardashian trumpeted:
“Just finished watching the #
BruceJennerInterview with the family. Bruzer,
I’m soooo proud of you! Dads really are
heros.”
Jenner, clearly relieved to have finally come
clean, said: “I’m saying goodbye to people’s
perceptions of me and who I am.
“I’m not saying goodbye to me because this
has always been me.”
