The long awaited 2 hours interview with Bruce Jenner on his transition journey has finally been held yesterday, during the honest and emotional 20/20 interview on April 24, Bruce told Diane Sawyer that he is transitioning from male to female and he’s incredibly happy to finally tell his story to the world.
Although there has been rumor of the transition story but it has never been made official by Bruce Jenner. The 65 years old Olympic Medalist and father of six biological children and four step kids is saying goodbye to his old self and starting his new life as a woman.
Bruce told Diane that he is a woman trapped in a man’s body and that he has been “confused” about his gender identity his entire life.
“I’ve always been confused with my gender identity since I was this big,” he said. “I’ve tried to explain it to them this way. God is looking down making little Bruce he says what am I going to do with this one… make him a smart kid, really determined. Let’s give him the soul of a female… here I am stuck … I’m me I’m a person this is who I am. I’m not stuck in anyone’s body this is who I am. My brain is much more female than it is male. That’s what my soul is. Bruce always telling a lie, lived a whole lie about who he is and I can’t do that any longer.”
He added: “Yes, for all intents and purposes I am a woman … but my heart and my soul it is part of me that part of me that female side is who I am. I was not genetically born that way. As of now I have all the male parts … in a lot of ways we are different but I still identify as female. That is very hard for Bruce Jenner to say, because I don’t want to disappoint people.”
