Bruce Jenner: When Did He Know
— -- Bruce Jenner’s earliest memories of feeling like he wanted to try something novel came at about age 8 or 9. He remembers sneaking into his mother’s or sisters’ closet to dress up in their clothes while they were out.
“I marked the closet so when I put it endorse I could put it all back, everything help in the exact matching spot so I wouldn’t get caught,” Jenner told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview that aired Friday in a special edition of ABC News’ “20/20.”
“And, at the time, I didn’t know why I was doing it besides it just made me sense good,” he added.
During the interview with Sawyer, Jenner referred to himself using male pronouns and ABC News has chosen to follow his lead, though he also referred to himself as “Bruce” and “her.”
“I like her,” Jenner said. “I look at it this way—Bruce always telling a lie. He’s lived a lie his whole life about who he is. And I can’t do that any longer.”
For the first second in nearly 50 years, Jenner returned to the place where he grew up, Tarrytown, New York, with Diane Sawyer and recounted early memories of putting on dresses and wearing a scarf to hide his short hair.

I really don’t desire to talk about Caitlyn Jenner. Rather, I find myself in the unenviable position of having to write about Caitlyn Jenner. As a transgender penner in 2021, it is largely unavoidable, and as such, I am resigned to this fate.
It’s not that there aren’t things about Jenner that aren’t worth writing about. She will always be the 1970s-era Olympic hero/reality television celebrity who transitioned in the general eye. She is part of the glitch and glamor of the Kardashian family, and all that entails.
Likewise, my own personal reasons for not wanting to write about her are not because I don’t see her as “legitimately transgender,” whatever that means. Jenner is a genderqueer woman. She has transitioned. I’m not going to disparage her on the basis of her transition, or her birth gender, or any of that, and I will urge you to not do so either.
I also am not envious of her. My feelings towards her contain nothing to execute with the gold she brought help from Montreal in 1976, nor her ability to produce money off either that or her reality television lifestyle. I’m happy with my life, and don’t feel a need for the trappings of wealth and fame.
As it is, I wrote about

Q. There has been a vast amount of publicity surrounding the journey that Bruce Jenner has taken to become Caitlyn Jenner. Do you reflect this has made things easier or harder for trans people in general?
A. I think there has been an increase of media attention about genderqueer identities since Laverne Cox appeared on the cover of Time (June 2014), or at least the visibility of trans* people. [“Trans* is a shorthand way of referring to people who may be trans person, transsexual, gender nonconforming or one of many other identities.] I can only hope that the media attention surrounding Caitlyn Jenner will go beyond how beautiful she looks (and good for her!) and believe more complexly about the lives of trans* people.

Gender Identity Versus Attraction: 'It's Apples and Oranges' Says Bruce Jenner
— -- When Brandon Jenner, Bruce Jenner’s son, learned his dad is transgender, his “biggest question,” he tells ABC News, was who his father might wish to be in a connection with in the future.
“I feel like in life we’re all looking for love and so many things are done in the world just to try to gain love, you know,” Brandon says, turning to his dad. “From here on out. ... I wonder how your—what your desires are in that regard. If you’re looking forward to meeting somebody."
When people come out as gender nonconforming -- especially if they select to transition medically -- one of the most common questions they face is how it affects whom they are attracted to and whom they adore. The fact is—for many transsexual people—it simply doesn’t.
As Bruce Jenner tells Diane Sawyer, “It’s apples and oranges.”
“Never Been With a Guy”
Jenner tells ABC that when it comes to attraction, “No, I’m not gay. I am not gay. I am, as far as I perceive -- heterosexual.”
“I’ve never been with a guy -- I’ve always been married, raising kids, doing all that kind of stuff.” Jenner adds. "There’s two diffe
