The Interview Everyone Is Talking About….

Bruce Jenner  admits ‘’I am asexual for now’’….. pulling on his hair defiantly he said: “I'm me, I'm a person. I'm not stuck in anybody's body, I am a Woman’’
Everyone who knows me, knows that  I am hooked on the Kardashians. All their reality shows from  the Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe and Lamar (hope these two can get back together) to Kourtney & Khloe Takes The Hamptons! I started following them as soon as I was able to afford paying Dstv subscriptions…When Bruce and Kris divorced, there was talk in the media that he was actually going through a transformation to become a woman. I dismissed this and found it hilarious. But to my surprise, this continued, and next thing we knew,  Bruce Jenner was going to do a tell all with ABC News. Apparently this interview delivered huge ratings for ABC on Friday. There is even talk about his Transgender Series coming to E! in summer.
 I must say him coming out must have been the most difficult thing ever. At least he waited until his children were grown enough to understand this. I feel for his grandchildren. What are they going to call him now? Are they still to refer to him as granddad?  All in all, his children and step children (especially Kim) are supporting him shem.   
Anyway, I came across the main points from that interview and decided I should share with you guys. What do you think? If you were one of Bruce’s children will you support him?

1. Bruce Jenner: 'I’m a Woman’
“For all intents and purposes, I’m a woman,” Jenner said. “People look at me differently. They see you as this macho male, but my heart and my soul and everything that I do in life -- it is part of me.” that female side is part of me, that's who I am. I was genetically born that way."



2. Bruce Jenner Say This is Not a Publicity Stunt
“We’re going to make a difference in the world with what we’re doing, and if the whole Kardashian show gave me a foothold into that world, to be able to go out there and do something good, I got no problem with that,” Jenner said.

3. Bruce Jenner Remembers First Time He Wore a Dress
“I marked the closet so when I put it back I could put it all back, everything back in the exact same spot so I wouldn’t get caught,” Jenner said. "And, at the time, I didn’t know why I was doing it besides it just made me feel good."
   
4. Bruce Jenner: ‘I’m Not Gay’
“No, I’m not gay. I am not gay, I am, as far as I know, heterosexual,” Jenner said.  Sawyer raised a brow as she asked him to clarify what he meant by that but he didn't seem the least bit bothered. "I've never been with a guy," he shrugged. "I've always been married raising kids. "

5. He considered suicide
Recalling some painful encounters with the paparazzi, the reality star admitted there were times when he thought suicide would be the "easiest thing." He described his thoughts when he was in that dark place: "Go in the room. Get a gun. Boom! Pain's over. It's done. Go to a better place.

6. He started taking hormones in the 1980s, but stopped after meeting Kris Jenner
He admits he took  Female Hormones in the 1980s but stopped after meeting Kris Jenner.  He had facial plastic surgery, electrolysis to get rid of his facial hair, and began oestrogen hormone treatment.  "I had been on hormones for five years and I was a really solid 36B something and you really can't hide those things," he laughed. "And [Kris] goes, 'Well, OK, you like to wear women's clothes.' And I kind of downplayed it some. I feel in a lot of ways that when you love somebody you don't want to hurt them."

7. If Kris Jenner had been OK with his transition, they'd "probably" still be married
"I loved Kris. I had a wonderful life with her. I learned a lot from her. That's what you like in a relationship — to be able to learn from the person you're with," he explained of his union with his third wife. "Kris is a good woman. I've got no complaints with her. She's a good person. Honestly, if she had been really good with it and understanding of it, we'd probably still be together.

8. Bruce Jenner: ‘I Had The Story’
“I had the story,” he continued. “We had done 425 episodes I think, over almost eight years, and the entire run I kept thinking to myself, ‘oh my god, this whole thing.’ The one real true story in the family was the one I was hiding and nobody knew about it.”

9. Bruce Jenner Was Terrified To Tell His Kids
“Those are the ones I’m concerned with and the only ones I don’t—I can’t allow, I can’t let myself hurt them,” Jenner said. Despite the fact that at least three of his children had caught him, Jenner revealed that his biggest fear, still, was telling his kids. His son Brandon was the first to know, but eventually Jenner came clean to all of his daughters and stepson Rob Kardashian, as well. "They all cried, mainly because they don't want anybody to hurt Dad," he said. "They're very protective of me, especially Kendall and Kylie."   According to Jenner, however, it's not Kendall or Kylie who's taking the news the hardest: It's Khloé. "Khloe's had the toughest time with it," he lamented. "She's had a lot of losses in her life. She lost her father at a young age… and you know Lamar had his issues. She feels like there's this massive, 'My whole life's falling apart, it's my dad,' and I can't argue that point, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to be there."

10.  Brandon Jenner ‘More Proud Than Ever’ of His Father
“I saw a sense of bravery that is, for all your previous accomplishments, I think far exceeds all of them,” Brandon Jenner told his father during an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer. “I’m just honoured and more proud than ever to be a part of the family.”

11. Bruce Jenner:  Kim, Kylie, and Kendall all caught him dressed as a woman at one point.
"Kim caught me one time — walked in," he said with a shrug. Asked what her reaction was, the 65-year-old mused, "She walked out and jumped in the car and went for a ride" before adding that this was simply a subject that no one in the family talked about.

Another time, Kendall and Kylie inadvertently saw their father posing in front of their full-length mirror in a dress via their computer cam. (One of them had thought the other was stealing her clothes and had set the camera up to catch her sister red-handed.)

12. Bruce Jenner on Kanye West’s Reaction
“Kim told me a story,” Jenner said. “She goes, ‘you know what really turned me around on thinking about this?’ I said, ‘what?’ She goes, ‘Kanye.’ I went, ‘oh, OK.’ … they were talking about it, and 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, I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me.’” Apparently that really resonated with the Kardashian superstar, who went on to tell Bruce, "If you're doing this thing, I'm helping you. You're representing the family. You've got to look really good."

13.  He isn't having gender reassignment surgery — at least, not anytime soon
"Those are all things out there in the future for me to explore," he said of gender reassignment surgery. "There's no rush for that and I would do it so quietly nobody in the world would ever know. I'm not shooting any of this. I'm not filming anything. To me, it's very degrading. At this point, as far as the term SRS, sexual reassignment surgery, would be down the line."

14. His conservative mother is prouder of him than when he won the gold medal at the Olympics in 1976
In a touching video message, Jenner's nearly 90-year-old mom declared her unyielding support. "I want you to be happy and I love you. I was very proud of you when you stood on that podium in Montreal," she said through a beaming smile. "I never thought I could be more proud of you, but I'm learning I can be."
