Speaking to ABC, Jenner said that Chrystie was probably “the first one to know” about their struggles with gender identity.

“I didn’t go heavily into it back then,” Caitlyn explained. “I said ‘these are my issues. This is what I deal with.’ And they think I do a little cross dressing, I do a little of this, a little of that, you know, ‘it’s going to be fine, we’ll work all this stuff out.’”

Despite Jenner’s struggles with gender identity, she kept it inside of her. In 1981, she married Linda Thompson, with whom they had sons Brody and Brandon Jenner. Five years later, the couple divorced.

Later on, Caitlyn revealed that her gender identity struggles actually were partly to blame for the two splitting up. But despite their marriage ending, Thompson was clear that she was always to support Caitlyn.

“My hope is that his transition will inspire others who struggle with their identities, and my prayer is that humanity has evolved and been educated enough to exercise kindness toward those we may perceive as ‘different,” she said.

After splitting from Linda, Caitlyn Jenner decided to get professional help as she was battling depression. Also, in the late 80s, she began taking estrogen, as well as going through a nose job and electrolysis to eliminate facial hair.

Stopped her transition

Moreover, she had started to grow breasts, as she initially planned to fully transition before her 40th birthday. But Jenner decided to stop the process at 39.

Caitlyn was struggling with her identity. But unfortunately, at the same time as Caitlyn was struggling with her identity, the understanding and respect for transgender people and people transitioning wasn’t on the same level as it is today, which made it even more difficult as she was a celebrity.

But if there is one thing Caitlyn Jenner was – and still is – it’s brave. She decided to tell her older sister Pam about the gender crisis she went through – and it was the first time a family member heard it.

However, several of her family members had trouble understanding her.

In 1991, she tied the knot with Kris Jenner. They were married up until 2015. Caitlyn had her most famous children, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, with Kris.

Kris and Caitlyn’s union lasted for almost two decades. Their family became hugely popular as they, in 2007, were signed for the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, in which Caitlyn also appeared. But she still felt like a fraud for living like a man.

In 2013, Kris and Caitlyn separated. Four months later, she resumed her transition without telling her children.

Still feel like Bruce lives inside her

Jenner was worried about how her family would react to the news since they were unaware of her plans.

“That night I thought, ‘oh, it’s, like, over. Heart’s pounding… and I thought wouldn’t the easiest thing to be right now,” Caitlyn Jenner recalled.

In 2014, Kris and Caitlyn’s divorce was finalized. She opened up to all of her children about her transition. She got massive support from all of them.

As of today, Caitlyn Jenner has embraced her new life, which sure is way different than before. Kendall and Kylie will sometimes still call her “dad.” However, she said she had no problems with it, despite the confusion.

“I know we had a talk a few years ago and you were ok with us still calling you dad. How do you feel about that now,” her daughter, Kylie, asked Caitlyn in a video on her Youtube channel:

“I feel it was one of the best decisions I made. Sometimes this community can be pretty tough, especially when it comes to pronouns, and everybody’s got an opinion,” Caitlyn replied.

“But I really felt from the beginning that I’ve got to do it my way that works for me, and everyone out there can do it their way that works for them. Some people would say, ‘You’re the mother’, but I’m not. I’m the dad, I’ve been the dad the whole way, I will be their father until the day they die or I die.”

Even though it’s been more than five years since Caitlyn Jenner transitioned, she still believes that “Bruce” lives inside her. Just like before her transition, she still enjoy things that Bruce liked, such as going car racing or flying planes.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Caitlyn Jenner has a net worth of around $100 million.
