Title: Bruce Jenner?
Post by: Michelle G on February 14, 2014, 01:49:36 AM
Yes, no, maybe?
I've been hearing buzz that he might be starting to transition, his look has drastically changed with facial surgery and a trach shave, boobs are getting more obvious, HRT perhaps?

He has also opted out of his participation in the horrible train wreck new season of the Kardashians

Google his name and there are pages of links discussing him.

Bruce would be very welcome here and would gets lots of nice support if needed :)

It must not be easy to be in the public spotlight and transition.  Dr Zoey Tur, a member here, has handled it very well.

Michelle, that is something I suspected... As it appeared that Bruce had all of his facial hair removed and has had facial surgery that creates a more feminine profile.  These recent allegation (the tracheal shave) only further my suspicions.  That being said, it is pure conjecture .  We will just have to see what happens and hopefully he/ she gets respected as the gender they prefer to be.

That's my hope as well, that Bruce gets respect and it doesn't turn into a huge negative PR mess that's bad for all of us.

I had to look up who this was lol.

Don't have much to add to the topic, but I can see why being well known (well, to those who watch TV at least) could actally make it more difficult to transition.

If Bruce is transitioning I hope he uses his platform well and makes a good representative. He'll most likely be the most watched transgender figure in the world due to the Kardashian empire.

I agree, but it seems those girls can be ruthless, mean and very self centered! They have always treated Bruce like dirt in the episodes I've seen in the past.

I'm thinking that has more to do with the "scripting" of the episodes more than it explains the true dynamics of their relationship.  Then again, they also do seem to be self centered and ruthless, so you may have a point, lol.

As for Bruce, why would any middle age man do what he is doing?  Especially someone that came from a masculine background.  I suppose he could be doing this stuff for other reasons, but it really doesn't add up imo.  I can't see why a man would do that stuff to his body and make himself look more feminine unless he was transgender.
