It makes sense for the kids to be involved as they will be part of the journey. Including the kids he had before Kris. Maybe Bruce is afraid Kris will try to take over? This is Bruce's moment, not Kris's. How does Kris reportedly feel about the transition? After People's initial story included how the kids were all supportive and didn't mention Kris, suddenly this was added today: She probably is dying to be part of this new project, as anything and everything she can get her hands into she will.

Poor Kris. She desperately wants to be as famous as the rest of her family, but everyone outshines her. It has to be killing Kris that Bruce apparently wants all the kids involved and not her.

I'm really glad I watched Transparent on Amazon because it gives me better insight into what Bruce must be going through. I thought the first season was so good. When I heard about Bruce, a part of me still still reflexively thought, "But he was married to a woman for so long!" and "He was a jock!" Then I think back to Jeffrey Tambor's character and it remember it doesn't really matter. That education was really good for me...I've never known anyone who was transgendered so I genuinely couldn't appreciate it.
I still side-eye Bruce for being so involved with the Kardashians, though.

I feel bad for Bruce about how this has been covered in the media. Russell Brand did an episode of his web series about it recently, playing clips of people like those idiots on TMZ making jokes and analyzing photos. If Bruce is transitioning (has it been confirmed yet?) then good for her, but there's no need to point and laugh at someone who's surely dealing with some heavy stuff.

Many people just don't get it. It makes them uncomfortable and they don't understand and therefore the transgender person is mocked and laughed at. I know it's not something that has been in the mainstream media much, but man, people can be assholes. I wish Bruce the best of luck on journey and all the happiness in the world. And I also wish that he does whatever he wants, however he wants - in the public eye or not. It's not our business what he's doing, and while a TV show shares the story with many, he doesn't have to go through this on air. I feel like it's a very personal, emotional process, and this feels like it could be voyeuristic in the Anna Nicole Smith show vein. I do hope it isn't.

That was a very good episode and Russell nailed it. It's pretty sad a comedian has to remind people Bruce Jenner is a human being with feelings though.

If he'd been married to anyone but Kris Kardashian I'd be feeling sympathy for her -- having a spouse who wants to transition has got to be a hard thing to deal with -- but she's just such a generally awful human being, and I would not be surprised to hear that Bruce has wanted to get this done for many years but been stifled by Kris, who gives a shit about the family's "brand" (sweet Jebus, I hate that term) and nothing else.

If he'd been married to anyone but Kris KardashianFreudian slip? I wonder whether she'll revert to that name if/when Bruce's transformation is complete.

I just want to know what Bruce's new name will be! I'm voting for Brooke.
