Bruce Jenner gets up close and personal with Diane Sawyer on ABC
Last night, Bruce Jenner‘s interview with Diane Sawyer aired on ABC, and the entire world was literally watching, and waiting, to see what the former Olympian–once referred to by many to be the world’s greatest athlete–had to say about his current frame of mind, and the rumors circulating his reported gender change.
In one fluid sentence, Jenner made it very clear where, and who, he was.
For all intents and purposes, I am a woman.
Jenner’s secret was off-handedly discovered by his daughter, Kim Kardashian, who walked in on him wearing a dress one day. According to Bruce, she walked out without saying a word, after which he divulged his situation to her.
Kimberly has been by far the most accepting [of the children] and the easiest to talk to about it.
Jenner has made it clear that he’s not yet sure when he’ll have gender reassignment surgery, if he does at all. This has been a long process for him. He began taking hormones in the 1980’s.
One very popular question surrounding the rumors was Kanye West’s role in all of this. Jenner made it clear that without Kanye, the road to his daughter’s acceptance of his change would’ve been significantly more difficult. When Kim reached out to her husband for his thoughts, West had this to say:
I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be true to myself. It don’t mean anything.
