Bruce Jenner’s mother, Esther Jenner, 88, has opened up on Bruce’s gender transformation from male to female. In a recent phone interview with Associated Press, Esther praised her son and said she will support him no matter the circumstance. Here are excerpts from the interview:
AP: Have you spoken to Bruce recently about his transition?
Jenner:
It was brief and I said I was proud of him and that I’ll always love
him. I never thought I could be more proud of Bruce when he reached his
goal in 1976, but I’m more proud of him now. It takes a lot of courage
to do what he’s doing.”
AP: He has opened up in
terms of his gender identity, which he is now owning, as opposed to
hiding like so many transgender people have to do? Is that right?Jenner: That’s absolutely right. He said, ‘Mom, I’m still the same person.’ He said, ‘I’m still going to race cars, I’m still going to fly airplanes and I’m going to get my helicopter license.’
AP: How did it feel for him to come to you and explain?
Jenner: When I first learned about it, yes, of course it was a surprise.
AP: In a lot of cases, families really suffer from that kind of announcement.
Jenner: The family is close and very supportive of Bruce and we’re supportive of each other.
AP: Was it a shock?
Jenner: It was a shock. It’s hard to wrap your mind around it.
AP: How did he explain it to you?
Jenner:
He said, ‘I want to be honest about my identity and I know this is
coming out in the press.’ He started by saying, ‘We need to have a long,
serious talk.’ I am at peace with what he is and what he’s doing.
