Comes out as transgender

Interview0 Comments

Jenner comes out as an transgender in an interview with Swayer.

For all intents and purposes, I am a woman. My heart and my soul and all I do in life, that is part of me…People look at me differently. They see you as this 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.

Jenner also says he is a Republican:

I’ve always been more on the conservative side.

And a Christian:

I would sit in church and always wonder, ‘In God’s eyes, how does he see me?’ Maybe this is my cause in life. This is why God put me on this earth…to deal with this issue.

Sawyer discusses the advice she receives along the her journey especially from her father.

My dad, I still think, had the most beautiful, simple checklist for what you should do in life: Do something you really love that you would do it anyway. Do it in the most adventurous place you can do it. And make sure that it helps other people. And if you feel there’s a genuine need for it, and that through that need you can help other people, you’re home.
