[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The skeptic in me says....this is a man, an athlete, who spent the prime of his life (and beyond) enjoying the company of beautiful women.  Then his life takes a weird turn and he was thrust into the reality show spotlight.  Now at the age of 65 Bruce is declaring himself a woman in a man's body...it just seems like weird timing for all of this.  I don't know if this is for real with Bruce or just an attempt to keep himself in the limelight.  I really do not know.

If you watch the interview you will see that he originally started to transition in the 80s (30 years ago).  He took hormones for 5 years and then decided to stop.
This does not appear to be a spur of the moment thing.

As for why now, here's my take, the older we get the less we tend to care about what others think of us.  I am only 40 and I care so much less about what other people think now than I did when I was 20.  
I am sure at 60 I will care even less.  I think at 65 his kids are almost all adults (the last 2 are late teens I think) so he doesn't have to worry as much about how this will impact them.  
He just wants to be happy.  Good for him.  [/quote]
