For All Intents And Purposes...

He still just looks like a bloke in drag...

It's the interview we've all been waiting for, Bruce Jenner bravely talking about his widely speculated, never-been-confirmed transition to a woman.

You might have heard about it…it's the celeb gossip which has generated more headlines this year than anything else.

So, what does he have to say about it? Well, the 65-year-old gets straight to the point, revealing that he is "for all intents and purposes" a woman.

However, it's not the cry-fest we had anticipated, in fact, Bruce looks relaxed, even unloosening his ponytail to let his long hair flow, as he talks to veteran interviewer Diane Sawyer.

The reality TV star and former Olympian also goes on to says that people had always seen him as a "macho male" sportsman.

But behind that, the real him has always been "feminine". Just check out the video below to see how much Bruce has changed since the heights of his sport's fame.

For all intents and purposes, for all the hormone treatments, long hair, surgery, he's still a man in women's clothing.

But for all that trouble, the hormones, the surgery, the long hair, the makeup and lippy, you'd want to actually look like a woman, wouldn't you?

like Carlotta:

Famous Kings Cross drag queen of the '70s

There's so much media coverage about Bruce Jenner and his "transition", I wonder if it's really just a publicity stunt.

Carlotta has always been 'da bomb'

And such a lovely lady.

She is.

But she is also a good example of what the eventually transformation looks like. Most people notice transgenger people when they are at the start of the transformation.

Yes, Jenner still looks like a bloke. Most men going through the early stages do. But eventually he will pass as a female as do most trans people. I know a few people who have undergone gender transformation and I wouldn't have know except that they told me.

Anyway, he will get there in the end and good luck to him.

Totally agree, good luck to him.,and these transitions take time.    It can't be easy living in the spotlight like that.  And as for plastic surgery at least he's getting it done for the right reasons, not like all the Kardashian tarts.

He seems to revel in it.

Really? You think he's not doing it for the same reasons as the women in his family are? To change or improve his looks?

not like all the Kardashian tarts. 

And won't that make him a "tart"  also, as you have labelled them?

No, he's doing it for an ideal that means a lot to him.

I don't see the slightest comparison.    Sorry, about the use of the words tarts, you obviously are a fan of

theirs.

I don't care what Bruce Jenner does. I can't stand the whole Kardashian mob.

They do nothing that deserves praise or admirations. I never look at any of their shows, but sitting in the waiting room at the Clinic, those faces jump out of every Magazine.

LOL, I had to read up about them to find out who they were.

Greedy showoffs without any talent other than flaunting their body.

Ugh, Erica

I'm sorry, but he does. He doesn't have to give interviews and photoshoots.

I'm sure the women in his family are doing it for an ideal that means a lot to them too.

How is that obvious? I can't stand them.

Thing is, he has had to make sure his surgery was subtle until now. Now he has opened up, he is free to have more radical surgery to look feminine.

No way this is for publicity, whoever said that has not seen yesterday's interview.

I liked the fact the Kardashian girls were not a part of the interview, in person. I feel,they knew if they were in it, too much attention would then be focused on them, and this is all about Bruce. Sounds like the 2 young girls, Kendall and Kylie would be finding this hard. As you would imagine.

Apparently according to GLAADS until the person actually says they want to be known as a female name etc,money are to still be referred to, in Bruce's case, Bruce or He. He said he has not decided upon gender reassignment surgery, and if he did it would be far down the track and only his business.

I really hope he can now finally be truly happy within himself. Thankfully he has his children, even his 3 ex wives firmly behind him with support. Always liked and admired the man. He has never appeared all the comfy when being filled for the reality show, and now we know why. People need to be open minded and not judgmental, many more people like Bruce who are killing themselves and being physically attacked, even murdered.

Icy, I can only think you do not watch The Kardashians show. He has never appeared comfortable in it, and also appeared a real home body. He has been the parent who set limits with the kids, who didn't like the provacative clothing and makeup. He is used to speaking, he has been a motivational speaker for decades, he also owns several companies including Jenner Aviations.

Of course he was doing the surgery to improve his looks. However, he could not make the surgery results obviously feminine. He was not ready till now. The poor bugger has been through hell for years over his appearance by the media and comedians, long time butt of jokes. Not nice hey? He contemplated suicide in recent months due to constant hounding by the Paps. A GPS was even recently found on his car, just so they could track and verbally humiliate him to get a reaction.
