Caitlyn Jenner's Ex-Wife Linda Thompson on Learning His Secret | ABC News

The boys had a missing father while very young. Why Bruce decided to get married to Kris and have two more kids is beyond me. He was a very hands on Dad to his girls which was very hurtful to his sons . I do not think he is happy now. Just my opinion.

[@lavenderbee3611]

I don't understand Jenner identifying as a woman, everything about his personality seems masculine. I gather he's not gay either. Jenner is very awkward as a woman for this very reason. Will somebody please explain this to me.

[@johanna2690]

In their forties Bruce started transitioning but then stopped. Khloe said that she had seen Bruce many times without a shirt and saw no breasts.

[@johanna2690]

Khloe also said that Robert Kardashian told Kris that he heard the rumour that Bruce was a cross dresser. But Kris didn't know Bruce was trans and Bruce/Caitlyn apologized for blindsiding her. When Bruce began transitioning a second he didn't inform his family (maybe Kris, but definitly not the kids). He told them around the time he had the coming out interview. So yeah, it's all a bit messy.

In February 2015, Bruce Jenner was involved in a fatal multiple-vehicle collision on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. Kim Howe, an animal rights activist and actress, was killed when Jenner's SUV ran into Howe's car. Accounts of the sequence of collisions have varied, as have the number of people injured. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges, but three civil lawsuits were brought by Howe's stepchildren and drivers of other cars involved in the collision. Jessica Steindorff, a Hollywood agent who was hit by Howe's car, settled her case in December 2015. Howe's stepchildren settled their case in January 2016. Financial details were not disclosed in either case. The third lawsuit is ongoing.

[@sugar-free-2centz]

People forget that this is a mental illness. They criticize Caitlyn for being "selfish" in not being there for her kids, but she was dealing with a mental illness that precluded her from showing up as well as needed. No different that a parent who can't be their for their kids as is needed due to a struggle with schizophrenia, or major depressive disorder. Now Caitlyn has not only begun to utilize the ONLY "treatment" we really have that can actually alleviate the symptoms of her mental illness, but she's also shown how incredibly brave she is by coming out when she did, knowing the vitriol and hatred that would be lobbed her way.

[@sonialouca89]

So Bruce identified as a women way back to his first wife, then why did Bruce remarry and have more children. Bruce can wear lipstick and take hormones but if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck its a duck, Bruce will always be a he no matter what he does.

The AGP once again trump's the lovely wife and kids. It's proper crazy that a fetish could completely get a hold of someone like that. However it doesn't work like that. The person in in charge of their actions and behaviour. They're in control of what they spend time thinking about. Not every thought, but most men know, especially those who are fathers that there are certain trains of thought that you just do not entertain (if you care as you should). There are certain actions you do not do (if you care as you should) like getting drunk then getting behind the wheel of a car, to name an obvious one. In order to allow this fetish to develop, you must have devoted significant time and attention to it. That was a choice you made by yourself. Nobody except you did that... The thing I here time and time again about these trans identified people is they spent loads of time alone on the internet and went down the trans rabbit hole, of which there are many - Autism forums are rife with it, for example. New Special Interest, anyone? A predatory industry exploiting people who are to young to know themselves yet. You only get to know yourself by doing things in real life. Not by thinking about things and typing about things on the internet. Many children are left for hours completely unsupervised and unchecked by parents who are too caught up in work, addictions, affairs, mental illness, physical illness, abusive behaviours etc etc and these children are easy prey to the vast amounts of predators we now have sitting behind keyboards probably fiddling with themselves endlessly with little other than the manipulation of innocent minds to give them any illusion of control in their no-doubt pathetic lives... If you listen to Benjamin Boyce's detrans conversations, you will hear all about what I've just given you a glimpse of. And yet we have celebrities endorsing this industry. But they are sick people - or in denial - or stupid. All three are dangerous. Can you imagine what the History books will say!!
