Bruce Jenner: 'I'm a Woman'

Bruce Jenner was once hailed as the greatest athlete in the world and later became a reality television star with one of the world's most famous families. Now, the former Olympian is revealing a secret that has caused him turmoil for decades.

"For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman," Jenner told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview that aired Friday in a special two-hour edition of ABC News' "20/20."

"People look at me differently. They see you as this macho male, but my heart and my soul and everything that I do in life -- it is part of me," Jenner, 65, said. "That female side is part of me. That's who I am."

"It is like how in earlier generations, people with Down syndrome or others with intellectual disability were just mocked and abused and people thought that was ok. Same mind set. Sad."

You're comparing a sexual deviant to a person born with Down's? Really?

Jesus help us.

Your last paragraph describes more on free republic today than I care to admit

I can’t imagine in 2000 seeing so much homo drivel

[CatherineofAragon]

And we should be clear...Jenner is mentally sick, but his agenda, and the agenda of the media and of others like Jenner, is not to present as sick and in need of help, but to normalize that which is abnormal and repellent.

Because it IS repellent. Homosexuals are mentally screwed, as well, but their practices are sickening and immoral. Jenner doesn’t get a pass.

Some doctors are trying to say his brain is wired differently. They’ve been trying to claim just that about homosexuals for how long now?

Not buying it.

This kind of perversion has become mainstream-—it’s held up as something to be cherished and lauded. Anyone who doesn’t understand how dangerous to society this is, well...they may be beyond help themselves.

To your point:

Congressman tweets support for transgender granddaughter

The democrat's granddaughter is 8 years old!

[Rastus]

That’s all true, but I still didn’t like him on there.

[apocalypto]

Utter nonsense. He is just a weird guy who had lots of plastic surgery. Doesn’t his DNA still show male?

[EnquiringMind]

Couldn't even get through your first sentence (paragraph) --- skipped to the last.*

We'll all know who is/is not "entitled" to heaven when the time comes.

*Less is more

[CatherineofAragon]

OMG, that is the saddest thing. Someone responsible needs to raise her...someone who won’t take her childish notions and nurture them into full-blown neurosis. The morally bankrupt idiots around her are doing her harm.

But don’t let me be judgmental or a hater. /S

The look on Sawyer's face when the most visible member of the transgendered community self-identified as a conservative Republican was absolutely priceless.

It's not a good thing when Conservatism is further driven down.

How do all of those 1976 Decathlon competitors feel now knowing that they lost to a girl? ;)

[Calpublican]

I believe in Christ. Christ said we’re to love our neighbors as ourself. We are even to love our enemies and those who despitefully use us. Can I do this? Really, no. I try, but I can’t love President Obama. I do pray for him as our leader. I am not strong enough to love the Muslim terrorists, but I pray that light will come to their hearts. I certainly don’t know how to love Hillary Clinton. However, I’m a strong enough Christian to love Bruce Jenner. He is thean who obviously has suffered. We all suffer in one way or another. I am sorry for his situation. I don’t understand it but he is a good father by all accounts and his ex-wife’s seem to wish him well so he’s not a horrible person. He has not lived a terrible life and doesn’t deserve to be treated the way some people wish to treat him. I have love in my heart for him and whatever he needs to do is between him and God. That being said, I sort of don’t appreciate the in your face publicity of it all, but perhaps he thinks he’s helping others.

Child abuse under the cover of “what?”
Transgenderism if that’s a word.
Absolutely horrid.

[trisham]

He needs some serious psychiatric help.

[wardaddy]

Oh lord almighty

I doubt seriously Jesus venerated queers

Maybe I missed it

You’re one of these holy rollers who only tolerates anything but those who won’t tolerate anything

That’s great

[CatherineofAragon]

But whatever he wants to do isn't just between him and God. He brought the rest of the country--world, even---into it by sitting for that interview and participating in the attempt to normalize perversion.

So don't you sit there and tell me I shouldn't push back against that crap. People are fed up, do you get it?

You say you don't appreciate the in-your-face publicity, but you, along with others on this thread, have been bleeding all over the place, calling us intolerant bullies and trying to shut us up for objecting to this latest step in normalizing sick behavior.

I have news for you...you can mewl all you want, but I'm never going to stop voicing my objections.

[caww]

Jenner claims this transformation is why God has him on this earth.....he’s just immature and quite frankly out of touch with most everything but himself.

He’s got over 100 million to play with and a flat lined career without any degree of front page notice....and he’s past his 60’s. He’s as bizzare as the Kardashians....so this is again sensationalism.

[Calpublican]

I didn’t say you shouldn’t push back. Do whatever you want. My point is can’t we do it without being nasty?

[CatherineofAragon]

What constitutes nasty to you?

[Calpublican]

I’ve been very tolerant of you. I think argumentum ad hominem, which some here have resorted to, Is counter productive and makes us all look irrational.

[Impy]

I hate that use of the word “rescue”, especially when they use it as a noun, omitting the “pet”.

“Nice dog.”

“He’s a rescue.”
