I don't know. Th Belinda part may or may not be true, but a friend mentioned recently that this was a topic of conversation on Hissyfit or Fametracker. Wow, really? I wonder if there are some old Blind Items having to do with this?

Interesting. Fametracker would have been a decade ago. I wonder if Kris had any idea that Bruce was having gender identity issues that long ago. O/T but OMG a decade?!?!?! Are we having a 10th anniversary party? OMG! I know! I couldn't believe it so I went back and checked and I joined in Nov. 2005, which was when Moldy Tofu invited people from Fametracker to come over to CPMCoG. Sigh. Memories.

And that's where I cam from. Amazing to me that I've been gossiping online about celebrities for almost 2 decades now.

Totally. I saw Batmom post about remodeling her house and thought, "I remember when she was dating the guy she wound up marrying and having another kid with. Oh, wait—this is someone I've never met.

Ten years?? Wow. I have been reading since the beginning although I only recently began to post. Ten years! We need a party.
Topic...it sounds like it is actually true that he is transitioning. I really thought this was a ratings ploy, to tease a "transition" to a single dad or whatever.
It makes me wonder if he allowed the heavy make up, way too grown-up clothing and plastic surgery on the Kardashian/Jenner girls because he identified with their discomfort with their appearance in some way. Like on some level he wished he could change how he looked, so he did not want to hold them back from changing their appearance. I hope that makes sense.

Interesting. Fametracker would have been a decade ago. I wonder if Kris had any idea that Bruce was having gender identity issues that long ago. I don't remember where I saw it and it could be complete BS but when the story first started breaking, there was a mention of the fact that he discussed this with Kris before they got married. This would contradict everything that's been written since about Kris's reaction, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if was discussed in some form or fashion. Perhaps not an explicit declaration but I would be surprised if this transition was completely unexpected. ETA: 10 years? You guys are making me feel old. I wasn't even 30 yet in the old FT days.

This is the best headline I've seen in a long time but I doubt it means we'll stop hearing from the KKKs. I very much support Bruce's new path. I remember him on Wheaties commercials and being a regular on talk shows in his decathlon heyday. What a life!

When I was little I would forget which Bruce was which and think that he was on Scarecrow and Mrs. King, not the athlete.

My mother, God love her, doesn't believe Bruce is transgender. She believes he's thirsty for the attention the women in his life get. Now, I don't agree with her, and I'm tired of arguing with her about it. But I can see why the trans movement would be worried about someone of Bruce's tabloid notoriety. It's a sad commentary that he can't transition without the skepticism. I hope he's getting all the support he needs, both emotionally and psychologically.
One thing that would help would be to disassociate his journey from the Kardashians. I know the girls love him, but it's not about them. It's not about Kris. This is his life and I really don't need an article about Kanye or Scott's reactions to the news or how Kim checked on Kris or any of that.
