Misc It's official: Bruce Jenner is a chick - Page 17

**Bufkin** · 01-31-2015, 07:16 AM

His changing look has been a much-buzzed-about topic for months, and now PEOPLE has confirmed that Bruce Jenner has been quietly making a very personal change. The former Olympian will soon be living life as female.

"Bruce is transitioning to a woman," says a source close to the family. "He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he's doing. He's in such a great space. That's why it's the perfect time to do something like this."

And according to a different Jenner insider, the 65-year-old reality star is filming his momentous journey, to be shared with viewers on a docu-series this year. "It will air when he is ready to be open about his transition," the source tells PEOPLE. "But he's acting more and more confident and seems very happy."

Jenner's much-documented physical appearance (he's been photographed with longer hair, manicured nails and wearing makeup) has led to much speculation, but according to the insider, Jenner's decision to transition slowly was made in part so that his family would have time to adapt to the change.

"He's being very smart about and also respectful about his transition," the insider says. "Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life."

And his family, including children Cassandra, 34, Burt, 36 (with ex wife Chrystie Crownover ) and sons Brandon, 33 and Brody, 31 (with ex wife Linda Thompson), as well as daughters Kendall, 19 and Kylie, 17 (with Kris Jenner) are adjusting to the new Bruce. "The [kids'] concern seems to be Bruce's happiness, and he acts very pleased with his new life," says the insider.

Admits the family source: "It is an intense thing. Of course not everyone is 100 percent on board. Different people have different reactions. But everybody loves him."

When asked about Jenner on ET, his stepdaughter Kim Kardashian simply said, "I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right." And when reached by PEOPLE, son Burt would only say his father is "doing awesome."

"The family is really giving this space and time to Bruce. This is his story and they want him to tell the world the way he wants," the source close to the family says. "They really want to empower him to tell his story so that hopefully he can help other people too. That's the goal."

Now it appears that Jenner, finally happy in his own skin, will soon be ready to live life out in the open. "He has come out to those closest to him," says the family source. "He's so happy and excited. He gets to lay down a huge bag of bricks. He's been through a dark period and is coming out on the other side."

Numerous requests for comment from Jenner and his representatives were met with no reply.

He should just be content with his wealth and the fact that his children love him.

That's a lot more than most people have.

If you had watched, you'd know he said the opposite.

False.

I find it funny that ESPN and other sports media outlets are covering the Bruce Jenner news even though 95% of their audience wasn't born yet the last time Jenner was an active/relevant part of the sports world.

people who take pride in taking sides like "liberals" or "conservatism" like to compare things and melt things together.. but implications are so much different and should be looked at it in a different light for a looot of reasons.

your right, its the exact same for discrimination.

I think the constitution protects any citizen from discrimination based on their sexual orientation. Just like it protects against discrimination based on the color of their skin.

What kind of free democracy can dictate to a select group of citizens who they can love? Who they marry? Tell businesses its okay to fire this person, refuse them service at a public business? Discriminate in housing?

Seems to me that this is a home run on all sides. Right wingers should be saying the government is not allowed to dictate to citizens how they lead their personal lives. Dictate who should be discriminated agaisnt and who shouldn't.

Doesn't really matter if you "evolve" your thinking or not. The tide of history has turned. The vast majority of Americans could care less if they have gay neighbors, co-workers or boss. It's irrelevant for most.

so, you're assuming your "evolved" thinking means you're correct and holds more weight than dissenting opinions? Not even disagreeing opinions, just different opinions.

The SCOTUS will rule this summer that sexual orientation is protected under the constitution.

I "know" that discrimination against any citizen based on sexual orientation is wrong. Just as I "knew" as a 5 year old that discrimination based on the color of someones skin was wrong.

If you believe that its okay to discriminate against your fellow citizens based on the color of their skin or sexual orientation, I "know" you are wrong. But, you are entitled to your opinion.

My daughter is gay and God as my witness I'll never understand how it came to be and will always lament that she wont bring me grandkids... but she is mine and will always be accepted and dearly loved in my home.

God would give me the strength to deal with it, just as he has for you.

You do realize that the only thing the issue of gay marriage addresses here is the government weighing in FURTHER on who THEY will recognize as married.

They never said who you can or can't love [weird that you'd think the government can legislate an emotion] or marry, and gay marriage leaves the rest alone.
