If this is indeed true, then I find this whole story very disturbing. One, because he's already 65 years old -- why even bother transitioning at this stage of his life? And second, it seems that his overall persona and public image as a celebrated athlete was just a front. All this time, he was really just a woman trapped in a man's body. It's kind of pathetic in a way. To think he married women and fathered children all the while feeling that he was really a woman.

As long as he's happy, that's all that matters. The sad thing about it is that he feels that there needs to be a reality television show about it. I don't watch reality tv, have never seen their current show, and can't imagine it is worth watching. That said, I hope this new show isn't a typical stupid reality show, if it could help some other person deal with internal conflicting emotions, that would be great. But I believe it's going to be on E! so I doubt that will be the case.
I always thought that his hooking up with Kardashian was the result of his developing illness. Can't imagine a sane man being interested in putting up with that nonsense for very long, or doing a reality show about his sex change.

I doubt too that he can ever be happy. IMO, these changes are because he's in a very, very dark place, and a sex change is merely a band-aid that won't solve the problem or last very long. I don't see this ending up well for him, but that's just my take on it. I don't know him.

I wish him the best however. It obviously is not easy being him.

I like the way you put that...too funny. I laughed out loud when I read that...still laughing too.

Yes, he really is going out on a banana peel. I'll have to use that going forward.

I just find this kind of thing fascinating. Having a nose job or breast implants is one thing. Surgically changing your gender is just so final. I don't think he'll be happy in the end.

I agree! In this particular case.... I'm thinking some sort of Mental Illness?

He may not go that far, a lot of them don't. {and by that I mean having the genitalia reworked surgically}

IF he is transitioning, I am betting he will be satisfied with living as and looking like a woman on the outside, doing the hormone treatments and maybe getting breast implants.

you're probably right Annie. I hope he doesn't get too drastic. I really like Bruce. I do. I like his sons that he had with Linda Thompson too.

What I don't get it----is he aiming to have sex with men??? If so, I mean hey-that is done daily all over the world. I'm confused as to this transitioning................why is it necessary? So it won't seem weird to see him dressed as a woman ,while still being a man? So he won't be considered a cross-dresser??

Does this guy not care about what his freakish behavior might do to his daughters?

His daughters are all adults, except on who's like almost 18.
