Bruce Jenner has been waxing his legs, wearing Spanx & taking Estrogen

bruce2

We’ve been following Bruce Jenner’s seeming transition for months now. Pretty much as soon as Bruce and Lucifer’s Homegirl began living separately, Bruce began getting cosmetic work, plus he really started experimenting with his look. He got hair extensions and a killer blowout. He seems to love a great fire-engine red manicure. He got a laryngeal shave, a nose job, lip injections and some eye work. He started wearing Spanx. All so he could be prettier. And maybe because he’s finally ready to make the full-on transition.

Hot pink nails, glamorous blowouts, Spanx, and hairless legs are only a few of the changes that have people talking about Bruce Jenner’s changing appearance. The former Olympian has previously been alleged to be seeking gender reassignment treatment with a preference to be named ‘Brigitte,’ and now a new report claims his ‘goal is to be a woman’.

Us Weekly recently published a cover story claiming the 65-year-old is finally free to be himself following his split from Kris Jenner. A source told the publication Bruce’s ‘goal is to live as a woman and look as much like one’ and further claimed he has been ‘struggling for a long time with his feelings about being a woman inside’.

The allegation comes after a series of sightings in which the former decathlete appears to be making a transition in his physical appearance. On his birthday last month Bruce was spotted stealing a solo smoke as he wore bright pink nail polish. In September he was seen wearing what appeared to be Spanx, a brand of control pants favoured by his step-daughters. That same month he was also pictured with suspiciously smooth legs, which appeared to have been freshly waxed or shaved.

One family insider told the publication that media coverage of his appearance ‘crushes him’ but that he plans on unveiling his gender identification in a format of his choosing. The source claims ‘he wants to address his changing look’ in an in-depth discussion with something like ‘an Oprah interview’. However, the insider claims Bruce is not seeking a full reassignment surgery but alleges he is taking estrogen.

Regarding his many children and stepchildren and their reaction to his appearance the source told Us Weekly ‘they are trying to be respectful’. The publication alleges that Kim ‘thought he had a Michael Jackson complex’ with a penchant for dress up but may now be changing her mind on the matter. Whereas Khloe, the confidant claims, ‘speaks to him and is sympathetic’. While Kendall and Kylie, the insider says, ‘are so in love with their dad that whatever he is doing is fine with them’. Although, Kylie the source claims is ‘hyper defensive’ when it comes to her father and begged him during Kimye’s wedding not to address the rumours surrounding his appearance.

As I’ve said in previous posts, if Bruce wants to transition, good for him and God bless. It’s his business and there’s something icky about the way the tabloids have been covering his process this year. He should be given the space and time to figure it out in his own way. Now, all that being said, of course it’s going to be news. He was married to one of the biggest pimp momagers in the business and he’s literally STILL FILMING A REALITY SHOW. So, can we talk about his Spanx? Hm.

Oh, and if all of that isn’t enough, Bruce’s mom is still alive (!!) and she is PISSED. Not about a potential sex change operation though. Esther Jenner hates Bruce’s hair, she doesn’t know what to think about his mani and she outright LOATHES Lucifer’s Homegirl. Esther thinks Kris is a “controlling monster” and “domineering” and Esther hopes Kris changes her name back to Kardashian. She also thinks the Kardashian girls are kind of skanky. No comment.

    I don’t care what anyone says, Hilary Swank looks great.

  2. Jaderu says:

    Esther Jenner is Captain Obvious.

    • Abbott says:

      It’s always someone’s Memaw who spills the good stuff though: Clooney’s aunt(?) on his wedding plans, JLaw’s Dorito Xmas plans, JT’s wedding…

    • Hautie says:

      Well Miss Ester, gave an incredible interview with “The Daily Mail”.

      Which is packed full of goodness. So worth reading if you have the time.

      • HappyMom says:

        My favorite are how Kris would take off for Cabo with her girlfriends all the time leaving Bruce to manage their 2 girls when they were babies. Amazing.

      • BoredAndExtremelyDangerous says:

        “Kind of skanky”… Esther, you’re a hoot!

    • mayamae says:

      Unfortunately the Jenner girls are headed down the Kardashian girls’ path. What does grandma think of that?

  3. Wachick85 says:

    Good for him!

    • hip says:

      pimp momma k made him want to be a woman as she totally emasculated him

      • Marcelmarcel says:

        I have no desire to speculate on whether or not Bruce is Jenner is transitioning. However saying that someone is a transwoman because they were emasculated by an ex wife is disgustingly transphobic on a multiplie levels.

  4. PunkyMomma says:

    Be happy, Bruce.

    • Mia V. says:

      And prettier than Kris, that would be the ultimate revenge.

    • Francesca says:

      Serious question… What does it do to the body to begin intaking female hormones? Are their health risks? Hormones do so many things, a lot of which is not understood yet by science. I just worry about health consequences.

      • QQ says:

        there are health consequences as far as cancers related to hormones and liver issues, but basically female hormones soften your face and body, makes you gain fat deposits in the areas where we get fat, stops beards from growing, enlarges breasts some, a lot of trans people say that the best way to go about this is when one is young because you still have not fully formed your looks and make a “passable” man or woman depending on the case and that to some trans persons is their goal… I have conversely read that if you stop the effects stop as well so is a lifelong commitment. ( I heard in this american life once this FTM tansgender man saying the biggest change he noticed after starting hormone therapy besides shedding weight and killing it at the gym and appetite is that before when he was a woman, a lesbian he used to see women and find them attractive as a whole and imagine a meeting and a relationship and love, afterwards he’s OGLE at everything in the most nakedly gross way and feel also mortified at not being able to stop leering…and picking up a new found interest in sciences?!?!)

      • Bob Loblaw says:

        There are serious health consequences to any hormone therapy.

      • Trashaddict says:

        Of course there are serious consequences to taking female formones! Taking female hormones makes you want to kick Kirk Cameron in the nuts.

      • Trashaddict says:

        I would share my Christmas Joy with Bruce before I would share it with Kirk.

  5. NewWester says:

    If this makes Bruce happy and he can finally have some peace, good for him. As for his mother’s comments on Kris, that is classic! Maybe she should have had a reality show!

  6. Mata says:

    Despite Bruce’s past athletic glory, the bulk of his fortune and that of his offspring comes from reality television and talentless famewhoring. Until now, he never had any problem allowing his private life to be pimped out for money, so while I support his transition, I just can’t muster that much sympathy, about having it commented on publicly.

  7. LDUB says:

    Really!!!??? A banana eating pic with this story??!! *throws papers in air, walks away from work desk*

  8. Trillian says:

    If this is the best plastic surgery you can buy I’m sticking with my own face, thank you very much. Whatever happened to his nose? That looks just awful.

    • DrMrsTheMonarch says:

      His orignal nose job and facelift were years ago (mid-80’s), long before there was any talk of transitioning.

      After the original, which wasn’t super-feminine, but was super-strange, and which he’s said before was “botched”, the doctors who came after have had to work with what they were left with. His bridge was too narrow for starters.

      I think he’d look a ton better after several months to a year on estrogen, and after his face settled a bit… he needs to decide what he wants to do and do it – he seems to vascilate netween the various images he wants to project.

  9. BeckyR says:

    He has ruined himself. World’s Greatest Athlete? I don’t think so.

  10. CandyKay says:

    I’ve got to disagree with the idea that he ‘deserves privacy’ – if you’re filming a reality show that claims to be about your life, you’ve *sold* your privacy.

    If he wanted privacy, he should have dropped out of the show and perhaps left LA, which is where the paps hang out. He could peacefully transition in Oregon or Florida or Europe and be undisturbed until he was ready to go public.

  11. Jayna says:

    Be happy, Bruce. We’re rooting for you.

    But to be fair, a lot of man shave their legs if they bike. He races cars and golfs all the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he bikes. Plus, his legs have probably been hairless for years. I highly doubt anyone knows if he’s taking hormones. He’s not sharing that info with anyone. It’s just an easy thing to throw in there for the story because they say he’s got boobs, but who knows. I lot of older men have man boobs.

    • gina says:

      I agree. He knows the world is watching him and don’t think he really cares. So many people are confused about their identity. I didn’t realize how lucky I was knowing who I am….I am woman, hear me ROAR!

  12. BengalCat2000 says:

    I think he has an opportunity to (maybe dunno with this family) to be a positive role model for the transgender community. My bff’s father was in the stages of transitioning before his death and I admire him greatly for his courage. A beautiful human being.

  13. gina says:

    Kris took this man’s balls and his dignity years ago. In 1976 he was the man, now he is a shadow of his former self. Kind of strange he would want go full on to the other genre at age 65. But whatever makes his toe tap. Personally I think his brains are a little scrambled and needs a few visits on the couch before he goes to the outter limits.

    • Chrissy says:

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t some kind of psychological evaluation all part of gender assignment surgery? shrug

      • gina says:

        I can’t explain what I don’t know. I accept people for who they are, or in some cases, who they want to be. I think (totally my own thoughts) that Bruce is having issues. His eldest son Burt recently tweeted that now that his dad is away from the bs, he will finally have the opportunity to be the great man he is. A lot of that chatter is that Kris emasculated him and I think that, in part, is the truth. I hate to see a man who was once so revered now be so ridiculed. It is how it should be.

    • chaine says:

      Why so critical? If he is transgender, he has probably wanted to do this all of his life, while simultaneously living in society where such a transition was almost universally reviled until the past decade or so. He’s probably struggled against his natural impulse and is finally at a stage in his life where he is able to accept himself for who he is and stop caring what others think. More power to him.

  14. Darkladi says:

    I grew up on pictures of Bruce on Wheaties boxes… So I still get startled by the pics. But, Bruce I grew up with you. So go on with your bad self!! Go champ, go!

    • Singer says:

      You and me both. You and me both.

      And that isn’t a comment on his possible transition — I strongly feel life’s too short to be unhappy. I also grew up with an uncle that was born a woman so transitioning is not that big of a deal to me.

  15. Talie says:

    His kids accept and love him — that’s all that matters. He has that love, and that’s what he’ll need.

  16. scout says:

    Whatever makes him happy!

  17. Mon says:

    You go Bruce!

  18. Whatever makes Bruce happy, for sure. But has anyone considered the fact he might be a transvestite? If he’s denied his fem side for a very long time then is it possible he just doesn’t care anymore? I don’t think he’s transitioning out of being a man but just enjoys his femininity and letting it come out and now that he is out of that horrid situation he can really embrace who he is instead of denying it.

  19. Jenna says:

    I only half believe this story. Athletes shave their legs all the time. The “Spanx” could have been any kind of pressure bandage. We don’t know if he’s on estrogen.

    If he is actually transitioning, then good for him. If he isn’t, then the media is f*cked for promoting a story of this nature that isn’t true.

  20. Greek Chic says:

    He should do whatever makes him happy..But if he wanted to be a woman why got married and started families with women? When he married Linda Tompson he was young and maybe he was confused but at 40 when he married Kris?
    This is not something that you realise at 65. Maybe now he feels more brave and secure for his choices..If he really wants to a woman he must have been so sad and trapped all these years.

    • Wren33 says:

      I think it is easy to get confused between orientation and gender identity. I think a lot of people transition, but maintain their sexual orientation. So, he would go from a straight man to a lesbian in this case. But who knows what is actually going on…

  21. Murphy says:

    I’m only going to believe what Bruce says and does himself. PMK has the Mail on speed-dial, plus the Mail is completely out of touch with reality anyway so as a rule I don’t believe anything they say.

  22. Lake Mom says:

    Maybe he wants to be a lesbian. Whatever makes him happy, he should go for it.

  23. Jan says:

    Just as we watched Michael Jackson morph before our eyes from a black man to a beige man, we get to watch Bruce turn from a man to something resembling a woman. Kris is a succubus who has sucked the life force from Bruce. Her spawn is doing the same thing to anyone who comes close to them. And with the never ending stories from this one family (I use that word loosely) I cant help but feel she is probably down on her knees on a regular basis selling stories to make headlines. Completely disgusting. I have no pity for any of them.

  24. TheGhostofMischaBartan'sCareer says:

    Kendall looks just like him….

  25. CatJ says:

    I don’t care what Bruce becomes, but, geez, with the money this family has, why do the ones with the re-done noses, have such bad plastic surgery…… it’s the first feature my eye is drawn to on photos of Kris, Kim and now Bruce, and they are oddly, misshapen and wonky, like chewed bubble gum…. ewww

  26. Bread and Circuses says:

    To be fair, competitive swimmers do shave their bodies (and cyclists often shave their legs.) I don’t know if he’s swimming still, but it might be that he’s into more sports than just golf and thinks nothing of shaving his legs.

    But the rest of it does imply he might want to transition. Good for him if he does; it can’t be easy living in a body that doesn’t fit the human being inside. And it must be even harder for an athlete who had such success with that body; you wouldn’t know whether to love your body or resent it.

  27. Listerino says:

    I think if he wants to become a woman, if that will make him happy then go for it. I really don’t see that it’s anyone’s business. Still, he’s a reality star so regardless of whether it’s our business or not people want to know is he or isn’t he? If I were him I’d just come out and say either way and then all the mystery would be gone and people would lose interest in the story and leave him alone.

  28. G says:

    Go ‘head Bruce! He has more class in his painted pinkie than that whole family put together.

  29. Kristin says:

    Blindgossip called this a looooong time back. But hey, its all hog wash, right?

  30. Veronica says:

    There are reasons to take estrogen outside of gender transition, but this does look like a surgical case. He may not want a full transition but seeking a kind of androgynous middle ground. The director behind “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” had a breast job but remained biologically male because he felt the surgery helped him reached a visual gender balance that mirrored his internal sense of gender identity. Some of the coverage around him is gross, but if it helps open up a discussion about the restrictive nature of the Western gender binary, I’m all for it.

  31. lissilou says:

    The Kardashians/Jenners pull a lot of stunts for publicity. The whole Scott/Courtney drama is all staged. How do we know this isn’t too?
