    I so don't care. I don't know why anyone else other than his family does either.

    What if he was feeling pressure because his Kardashian Clan was leaving him in the background (divorce) and he decided this was his only way to jump to the foreground?

    Under normal circumstance, this would be nuts. But the Kardashians don't operate under normal circumstance.

    Is this the public version of Randy Marsh turning himself into a dolphin?

    I still don't understand why he's going public like this. Other than these people just love the attention. It looks to me like all of them just live being on camera.

    I can't, in good conscience, poke fun at him for his choice. How is it ok to embrace kids who choose similarly, have separate school bathrooms provided while still transitioning, etc. - all wonderfully open-minded gestures...but it's not ok when it's a grown man? What if a grown woman?

    Is it not strange how this man's business has seeped into our lives? ...maybe not.

    And yeah, Last-12 - it's not unheard of or impossible to undertake such drastic life changes without a fucking television interview.

    Maybe he just wanted to end the media speculation and make a clear cut to silence all the bullshit theories?

    I agree with last 12. I don't care. It's none of my business.

    Why is it such a big deal if someone doesn't agree with his life choices. They're automatically intolerant? An opinion isn't just an opinion anymore?
    Oh please let it rain today.

    I don't know, Leeze...all of the BS hype surrounding it and the build-up makes me doubt that. He could've written an open letter or something of the sort.

    It doesn't affect me in the end but strikes me as strange. His path, though.

    Didn't Chaz do an interview as well?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    He is the most well known person to ever do this and has been a household name for the better part of 40 years, of course it is going to be a big deal regardless of whether he did the interview or not.

    And if it helps others, more power to him. If you don't want to pay attention to it don't but I am sure it is doing a lot more good for a ton of people than it is annoying some of you. I could never imagine that feeling.

    It's not that it's annoying me that he did it. What's annoying is that it appears he was forced to do this interview because people have to know everyone elses business. Plus, that entire family seems to always want to be on tv.

    It matters a lot to transgendered people and acceptance of them in society. And i care about that a lot. Pretty simple. I don't care about Bruce Jenner personally. I care about what him doing this can mean to other people in struggle for equality.

    The interview was more a documentary on the struggle of transgendered people. It was a worthwhile program for sure.

    I support anyone to do whatever they want to make them happy as long as it's not harming anyone else.....good for you Bruce

    What is disturbing is he clearly caused an accident killing an innocent woman....ok ok accident is the key word.

    But then a few days later he is caught texting while driving? That's fucking dumb. Seriously shows that he is that stupid to think he isn't being watched, or that he don't care, I'm a celeb attitude.

    I hope that investigation really gets to the bottom of what caused it I.E. texting.....and if so it doesn't just end in a civil settlement but some jail time

    Again good for Bruce for helping others with his personnel struggles
    Shame on him with his Blaise attitude regarding probably causing a lose of life due to selfish stupidity

    Fair enough - I didn't watch the show (though forced to see the many promos!), so my view on how it was presented in itself was limited.

    CROJAM, had no idea about the texting hooha, especially in light of that horrific accident.

    I didn't watch the show either. Sounds interesting. Well, I wish him all the best.

    Well damn... same theory stands as... but after watching only 20 minutes, I will also say that Bruce Jenner has become a really unlikeable person, lol.

    Why?
    Well, it got better as the thing went on. A bit grating, but still...

    The show did it's job I think.
    I suppose he came off as a little 'haughty' or standoff-ish...but I'm glad his older kids were in the interview to support him. Kris is a bitch to have 'no comment', she knew, he told her.
    good point conny

    Rin =)

    She and Maury seem like an odd couple.

    Would've been great if she'd taken his last name - it'd be the bizarro version of that Seinfeld with Donna Chang.
