Bruce Jenners mother, Esther, says she supports the former Olympian whole-heartedly as Bruce transitions from male to female. I just learned about it [his transition], Esther told Radar Online on Tuesday. Bruce filled me in, and we had a very long, long, long talk about it.
I have never been more proud of Bruce for who he is, himself as a father, as an Olympian, wonderful public speaker, she said of the father of six. He instills enthusiasm in people. He is gifted. Bruce, 65, will discuss his transition at length with ABC News Diane Sawyer in an interview set to air in May. Bruce will also star in a docuseries that will chronicle the transition.
Although Esther says she wasnt aware of her sons changing feelings, shes more proud of what hes allowing himself to do. I am more proud of him now than when he stood on that podium and put the gold medal around his neck, Esther said. He deserves all the respect.
Kim Kardashian recently spoke on the changes in her stepfathers life. I think everyone goes through things in life and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think hell share whenever the time is right. Bruce appears to have the support of family. Well, we support Bruce no matter what, she added, acknowledging the family portrait blasted through social media.

the 'worlds greatest athlete' is a pretty good commercial for acceptance

Sorry to sound cynical, but I'm tired of that entire family's cavalcade of public spectacle.
