Oh, I totally think Kris would support her kids doing most anything if it meant adding to their millions.

And Bruce has cashed in as well.

By virtue of being part of the family. From what I've seen I can't say I'm a fan of how Kris treated him. Ignored him, actually. I don't think he had much say in any decisions.

I agree that he was treated poorly (verbally abused) by the children and Kris as well.

At his age, he's had a long time to consider his decision and I expect he will be happy. I'd hate to do something like this under all of the scrutiny.

My negative comment would be that I hope the two younger girls are okay with all of these changes. The family has truly crumbled for them.

There's a story about this in "US" magazine this week. It appears to be true, & Bruce will have a reality show that deals with it. Apparently, Bruce has wanted to transition for many, many years....but Kris wouldn't tolerate it.

I agree with Winamac, People Magazine rarely reports on something without doing lots of research. I do believe this will most likely be true. Daily Mail is also reporting this is confirmed.

If this is what he wants I am happy for him. I feel sad he had to wait so long to be who he really is. I am sure some people will have a problem with it and it is hard for them to understand but could you imagine the pain of being inside the body you think is the wrong secks? I hope this makes his life much happier. I am sure this was a painful decision not only for him but for how this would affect his family. Having a friend who transitioned, I know how completely painful it was for him and he didn't have the entire world judging him.

His denial caused him to lie, be deceitful, get married and have children under false pretense. I feel more sorry for his family and the people he hid it from.

I feel sorry for all of them. Using the word deceitful is very strong. First of all we don't know how long he felt like this and he certainly came from a time and even today it persists that people who do this are freaks. I certainly can't judge him because I haven't the slightest idea how terribly shameful that would be to carry around.

I have a friend who transitioned. He was black and raised in a strict Baptist family and he tried to kill himself 3 times rather than tell his family. He was terrified at how his family, church and community would judge him so he lived a lie for a long time and when he no longer could he tried to die. Would you have preferred Bruce do that?

Thankfully my friend found the strength to tell everyone. Now they don't think he is a freak for his secks change but they do think he is one for being a Republican.

I just read some of the replies to the People magazine story.

Wow. Terrible vitriol. Depressing to know people like that are out there.

People keep saying "he will be happy now" or they "hope" he will be happy now. I recently read that once making the change many are still unhappy and sorry they did it. The article had statistics and all that.

It's his choice.

And the reason some, not many, were unhappy after the transition is because of the stigma that comes with it, and the rejection they have to deal with.

That's true for most who are El Gee Bee Tee. Last time I tried to use that phrase here, the auto censor wouldn't let me, but it's crucial to understanding.

Hi Noel - Very true.

There are still issues and problems to deal with after transitioning. In fact, even more especially from society.

That's why so many hesitate to make the transition. While they pretend to be what society expects of them, they're safe and accepted. Once they make the transition, they open themselves up to many more problems.

It's a horrible way to live. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Hi Lion,

Yours is a very insightful post

[mousiegirl]

I wonder what his grandchildren will call him after he "changes." I think he has six biological kids, and then the three K's, and more grandchildren to come. This is the first I have heard of a person marrying over and over when they know of their situation.

He's well on his way since Kris took his private parts away a long time ago.

When you get involved in that family, anything can happen.

I almost feel sorry for Kanye. He's the next passenger on the Crazy Train

LOL. Yes, you are right. As for Kanye, not sure whose crazy train is whose when it comes to him. He and Kim belong together. That way they don't ruin two other families through marriage.
