Bruce Jenner,Kim Kardashian's Step-father Hailed For Changing To A Woman. by chibecanglobal(m): 7:35pm On Apr 25, 2015
US Olympic champion turned reality
TV star Bruce Jenner won praise
Saturday from celebrities and
activists for revealing he is
transitioning from male to female,
ending long-running speculation he
identifies as a woman.
In a highly anticipated, two-hour
television interview aired Friday —
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.”
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.
- ‘I am not gay’ -
Jenner said he identifies himself as
“her,” but not by a specific name.
The ABC interviewer used “he” and
“him” throughout, without causing
any apparent discomfort for the
former Olympian.
He stressed the difference between
gender identity and sexuality.
“I am not gay,” Jenner said. “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.
“Let’s take the damn ponytail out,”
he told Sawyer, smiling.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) rights group
GLAAD welcomed Jenner’s
announcement.
“Though Jenner’s journey is one that
is deeply personal, it is also one
that will impact and inspire
countless people around the world,”
GLAAD head Sarah Kate Ellis said.
Singer Miley Cyrus gushed on
Twitter: “I LOOOOVE LOOOVE LOOOVE
Bruce Jenner!!!!!!!”
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.
The couple 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.
- Hero once again -
“Not only was I able to call him my
husband for 25 years and father of
my children, I am now able to call
him my hero,” Kris Jenner tweeted.
Jenner’s 89-year-old mother Esther
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,” she wrote.
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 Kim Kardashian
trumpeted:
“Love is the courage to live the
truest, best version of yourself. Bruce
is love. I love you Bruce. #
ProudDaughter.”
Her sister Khloe wrote: “Bruzer, I’m
soooo proud of you! Dads really are
heros.”
National Center for Transgender
Equality advocacy group executive
director Mara Keisling called Jenner’s
declaration “one of the most
profound displays of bravery and
courage I’ve seen.”
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.”
