Bruce Jenner has broken the internet, following his confession of being a woman.
In a 2-hour special interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC, the former Olympian opened up saying, “I am a woman.”
Here are seven quotes from the viral interview:
“Yes, for all intents and purposes, I am a woman. People look at me differently. They see me as a macho male, but my heart and my soul and everything that I do in life — it is part of me, that female side is part of me, that’s who I am. I was genetically born that way.”
“As of now, I have all the male parts and all that kind of stuff. That’s very hard for Bruce Jenner to say. Why? Because I don’t want to disappoint people.”
“No, I’m not gay. I’m not gay. I am, as far as I know, heterosexual. I’ve never been with a guy. I’ve always been married raising kids.”
“I would say I’ve always been very confused with my gender identity since I was this big. I tried to explain it, because I’ve had all my kids sitting in that chair … and I’ve tried to explain it this way. God’s looking down, making little Bruce … he says ‘Okay, what are gonna do with this one. Make him a smart kid, very determined … and then when he’s just finishing he says, ‘Let’s wait a second.’
God looks down and chuckles a little bit and says, ‘Hey, let’s give him the soul of a female.’ ”
“I loved Kris. I had a wonderful life with her. I learned a lot from her. That’s what you like in a relationship — to be able to learn from the person you’re with. Kris is a good woman. I’ve not complaints with her. She’s a good person. Honestly, if she had been really good with it and understanding of it, we’d probably still be together.”
