Anyway, gotta give it to ABC and Dianne Sawyer -- the Bruce Jenner interview was more compelling than I'd expected, and they tossed in some education as well.
Jenner addressed a few of the questions and topics that have come up here and everywhere:
-Bruce Jenner said he wasn't sure whether he was going to have sexual reassignment surgery or not.
-He had to explain a couple of times for Dianne Sawyer how gender dysphoria and sexuality are not related. Jenner is attracted to women and always has been, he said. He's just always considered himself as a "her" and has the soul of a female.
-He said that all of his wives knew about his cross-dressing (he's been doing it since he was 8), but he said he didn't do a good job of explaining to them that he actually identified as a woman and that he wasn't sure how long he could keep presenting himself as a man. He admitted that he wasn't as fair as he could have been with them.
-He said his gender identity had nothing to do with his first divorce, it was a big part of his second divorce, and that if she had been okay with him coming out and living his life authentically as a woman, he and Kris Kardashian would probably still be together.
-He started to physically transition after his second divorce and was taking hormones for 5 years, but backed off for fear of hurting his kids. He said he had 36Bs by the time he and Kris Kardashian got together.
-His older children from his first two marriages appeared in the interview. They are very supportive, as are his mom and his older sister.
-He hasn't revealed his female name and wants to be called Bruce and referred to as "he" for now.
Damn he was a good looking man back in the day. A hot bod too.
RIP Bruce...
I predict he/she will have his/her own reality show before to long.
