Bruce Jenner just made history breaking down America’s myths about gender

After more than a year of speculation over Bruce Jenner’s gender identity, the former Olympian revealed in a powerful interview with Diane Sawyer that he is a transgender woman.

Throughout the interview Bruce explained his journey and the immense challenges he’s faced — including the difficult night that drove him to contemplate suicide.

(Note: Jenner has requested to use male pronouns and the name he was assigned at birth until a date to be determined.)
