Bruce Jenner's national TV interview with Diane Sawyer in April ended months of speculation. The former-Olympian turned reality-TV-star revealed that he now identifies as a transgender woman — though he still prefers to be called "he" for the time being.
Jenner was hailed as a hero for his openness on an issue which has caused real heartache for many. National surveys show an unusually high rate of attempted suicide among people who are transgender.
