Kardashians’ reality TV star Bruce Jenner has been praised for his “bravery” in revealing that he is transgender.
The Olympic gold-medallist – better known to milions as the dad/stepdad of the Jenner/Kardashian family – announced that he had lived most of his life feeling that he was woman, but that he did not want to keep it a secret any longer.
And his family shared some social media love for the 65-year-old after the ABC Dianne Sawyer interview aired.
In the interview with Diane Sawyer, for America’s ABC network, Jenner declined to reveal what name he would adopt after his transition, but spoke candidly about his story.
Asked if he is a woman, the decathlete replied: “Yes. For all intents and purposes, I am a woman.
The Olympian revealed that he had been terrified of telling his children – the two daughters he had with Kris Kardashian, her four children from a previous marriage, and his four children, also from previous marriages – because he did not want to hurt them.
The emotional interview sparked an outpouring of support on the internet, not least from his children and ex-wife Kris.
