A lot of reactions have been pouring in since Bruce Jenner formally announced he is transitioning from being a man to being a woman.
In a 2-hour special interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC, the former Olympian opened up saying, “I am a woman.”
“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.” he said.
Opinionated talk show host, Wendy Williams slammed Bruce Jenner
saying he’s the same fame whore as the rest of his family, that she felt
duped by him.
In the same vein, Nollywood actress Beverly Naya lent her voice, also blasting Bruce Jenner and said:
The world is being brain washed daily, I
feel so bad for the generations to come. At this rate my kids won’t be
watching very much TV! People are out there talking about he’s living
his truth, THE TRUTH IS HE IS A MAN! WTH are you on about?!
The world is definitely coming to an end! This Bruce Jenner BS? I can’t get with it, I’m sorry!
Get ready to start seeing an excessive
amount of ‘transgender’ people in your favourite TV shows/series etc!
The manipulation continues! ‘Orange is The New Black’…leading the way.
Too many rights, too much freedom! I must express myself’ syndrome

OAP Toke makinwa has a slightly different reaction to all of the
drama and to her, she says one shouldn’t mock a pain you haven’t endured.
