It's official: Bruce Jenner is a chick

[Bufkin]

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."

Jenner's much-documented physical appearance (he's been photographed with longer hair, manicured nails and wearing makeup) has led to much speculation, but according to the insider, Jenner's decision to transition slowly was made in part so that his family would have time to adapt to the change.

"He's being very smart about and also respectful about his transition," the insider says. "Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life."

And his family, including children Cassandra, 34, Burt, 36 (with ex wife Chrystie Crownover ) and sons Brandon, 33 and Brody, 31 (with ex wife Linda Thompson), as well as daughters Kendall, 19 and Kylie, 17 (with Kris Jenner) are adjusting to the new Bruce. "The [kids'] concern seems to be Bruce's happiness, and he acts very pleased with his new life," says the insider.

Admits the family source: "It is an intense thing. Of course not everyone is 100 percent on board. Different people have different reactions. But everybody loves him."

When asked about Jenner on ET, his stepdaughter Kim Kardashian simply said, "I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right." And when reached by PEOPLE, son Burt would only say his father is "doing awesome."

"The family is really giving this space and time to Bruce. This is his story and they want him to tell the world the way he wants," the source close to the family says. "They really want to empower him to tell his story so that hopefully he can help other people too. That's the goal."

Now it appears that Jenner, finally happy in his own skin, will soon be ready to live life out in the open. "He has come out to those closest to him," says the family source. "He's so happy and excited. He gets to lay down a huge bag of bricks. He's been through a dark period and is coming out on the other side."

Numerous requests for comment from Jenner and his representatives were met with no reply.

But you're assuming its a crime.

I know what the Bible says, and I also know that Jesus provided a New Covenant that softens so many of the OT passages... my bottom line is that God created most gays, they had no choice in it, from their very first thoughts and urges they were thinking of the same sex.

What seems criminal to me is blaming them for it.

So who actually watched this thing? That man is on some sort of drugs for sure...his speech is very slurred and he talks with a very strange cadence. It reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith.

Jenner says he's not sure on the sex change part yet. That seems really odd to me: if you're really a woman and you're taking hormones and you're claiming to be a woman since childhood, why would you keep your pecker around?

The only thing I can guess is maybe because he's 65 years old.

Bruce can transition all the way up to SRS and live as a woman.

Tremendous surgery or pleasure stick?

If you've passed the self loathing stage, why wouldnt you?

I'm convinced that this is the only conceivable way Bruce could out attention whore the entirety of the Kardashian clan. Everything else would have been a futile effort.

Should we move this thread to 'would you ' ?

Potential publicity stunt...

The act of bringing it up as a comparison is a form of equation.

Also, since people are still erroneously comparing gender and sex, I'm going to quote my earlier post again:

Masculine and feminine are social constructs, behaviors that we attribute as innate to biological sexes male and female.

For example: for most of your life, pink was considered a girly color. It had feminine connotations. But that belief has only existed since the 1940s-50s. Before then, pink was considered another hue of red, a masculine color, and blue, with its softer palette, was considered feminine.

Well, why do we associate pink with girls and blue with boys now? There's nothing innate about the colors, we have just attributed values of masculinity or femininity with them, and given that they have changed over time, they certainly are not static.

Because your penis makes you man, regardless of the psychobabble nonsense Hamas spews. Penis = male, no penis = not male. If he/she/it is a female, there's no choice but to remove the major aspect of maleness.

Your Y-chromosome makes you male, dumbshit. Congratulations for failing 7th grade science.

That is ridiculous. An accidental castration doesn't make a man less of a man. Neither does a non accidental one.
