Bruce Jenner Sex Change: Diane Sawyer Special Coming Out Interview To Reveal Details Of Transgender Journey

Bruce Jenner has clearly been taking steps to transition into a woman, and his coming out will allegedly take place during a Diane Sawyer interview. It’s set to air on April 24th. Jenner has been the subject of countless media headlines over the past several months. While many people are ready for Bruce’s big reveal – after he’s taken noticeable steps to prepare for a male-to-female sex change – it will be interesting to see how this TV special approaches the subject.

According to a report by TMZ, Jenner will use this interview as a time to not only publicly declare his true gender but to say “farewell to Bruce.” Supposedly, he won’t be revealing his new name, nor will he be dressing as a woman, but sources close to the production state that he views this stage as one of the most important steps in his transition.

In the special, composed of a series of interviews that he conducted with Diane over a period of time, Bruce comments on the first time he felt as if he didn’t belong in a man’s body. From there, he supposedly discusses the impact it has had on him to live as a man but truly feel like a woman. The special, he hopes, will both serve as a way for him to take ownership of his new identity and educate the public about transgender issues.

Now, it’s no secret that Bruce is part of the biggest, most powerful, reality TV families in the world: The Kardashians. The whisperings of Bruce’s transition have inevitably found a way to share in the Kardashian limelight, and while the family has not come outright with any confirmative news regarding Bruce’s transition, they have alluded to the fact that they’re in constant support of him.

What do you make of Bruce’s transition?
