Bruce Jenner will put his male persona to rest for good when
he appears on Diane Sawyer's two hour special, sources connected to Bruce and
the production tell TMZ.
We're told Jenner views the show as "a farewell to
Bruce." He will "present himself" as a woman publicly for the
first time. But it's not about his look -- it's about his mental state and his
journey.
Our sources say Bruce does NOT reveal his new name, or dress
like a woman on camera
. Nevertheless, we're told Bruce sees the interview as the
most significant event associated with his sex change -- more significant than
the surgical procedures that will get him there.
Bruce will chronicle his life from age 5, where he identified
as a woman. Jenner -- who did numerous interviews for the special over a period
of time -- talks about the difficulties he's had in life living as a man but
not feeling like one. He also spends significant time talking about the impact
his decision to have a sex change has had on his family.
Bruce realizes he has already become a target for people who
either don't understand why he's transitioning or those who have outright
contempt for it. But he's doing the interview to both free himself and educate
the public so others in his position don't have to go through the pain.
Our sources say some of the most compelling moments in the
show -- which airs on ABC on April 24th -- are when Bruce talks about
"mundane things" that will change in his new life -- day-to-day
things that will change.
