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."

Well, I guess it's official now. He's going to lop it off.

DNA don’t lie, he’d still be a guy.

[GilesB]

He is NOT transitioning into a woman. He is transitioning into a freak of hormones and plastic surgery. A strange and troubling old fart!

[Regulator]

Old age derangement

...his momentous journey, to be shared with viewers on a docu-series this year.

No, thank you.

How sad is this? Vultures in the reality TV industry feeding off his mental illness, doctors profiting, while the gays cheer him on. Sorry, Bruce, you are a man, after all the cosmetic surgery is done, you’ll still be a man, just likely even more miserable.

It’s about +11 on the creepy scale!

Ugly old man becomes ugly old freak. Gross.

I think it is happening to me as well.

For days now I have been wanting a salad, and I have noticed for a couple of years that cat videos often appeal to me, or at least amuse me.

[Vigilanteman]

I am sincerely sorry to learn of the mental illness of a once great athlete. Further, I regret the mental illness of a society which would rather celebrate that sickness than offer him the help he really needs.

Yep, it’s still a paraphilic disorder in the DSM.

Homosexuality used to be too.

[Eagles6]

Well said.

[antceecee]

I agree.

[Misterioso]

Publicity stunt. ☺

[Politicalkiddo]

I’m glad that People knows what I care about. /s

[Ray76]

Hahahaha! What a loser.

!00% spot on.

"Bruce is transitioning to a woman," says a source close to the family.

That is a physiological impossibility. Jenner can make himself look like a number of different things, but his DNA will always be that of a man.

[SaveFerris]

100% spot on.

Darn shift key. Make that 100%.
