Excerpts from Bruce Jenner’s highly anticipated interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer has finally been released. In the interview Bruce opened up about his transitioning from male to female. The father of 6 and Grandfather of 7 is an Olympian & a reality star.
Speaking in front of millions of viewers, including 4 of his children from his first wife, Burt, Brandon, Casey and Brody Jenner, Bruce tearfully revealed:
‘To all extents and purposes, I am a woman. My brain is much more female than it is male. That’s what my soul is. Bruce lives a lie. She is not a lie.’ He added: ‘I can’t do it anymore.’.
“I’ve always been very confused with my gender identity since I was little.”
He then revealed how he had explained his identity to his children —
“God is looking down making little Bruce. He gave me all these wonderful qualities. Then at the end, he looked at me and said, ‘Hey, let’s give him the soul of a female and see how he deals with that..
“You know what… it’s going to be tough. I’ve been thinking about this day forever and what I should do with my life. How do I tell my story, how do I tell people what I’ve been through… And that day is today.’ He said.
He then asked Diane for a tissue and used it to wipe his tear-filled eyes. He continued:
‘We have to keep our sense of humor about this. Me of all people – Bruce Jenner – has to deal with these issues.’
“As of now I have all the male parts, but I still identify as female.”
Despite having a female soul’, Bruce said he ‘hates’ describing himself as a woman stuck in a man’s body. He said:
‘I’m a person and that’s who I am. ‘I’m not stuck in anyone’s body. It’s just me”“I was trying to block out my feelings with the obsession to be an Olympic athlete.”
