In today’s weirder news, Bruce Jenner has just been quoted as saying that he’s shaving off his Adams Apple. Um, ok?
Usually a Laryngeal Shave is done in the first stage of gender reassignment surgery. This news comes on the heels of his very public separation and pending divorce from Kris Jenner, revealed back in October. When this originally came out they said that they had been living separate lives for some time. Bruce went on to say “I’m finally free to do what I want and live life the way I want.” Hmmmm.
In an exclusive with TMZ, Bruce denies the reassignment surgery, saying, “I just never liked my trachea.” No stranger to a nip/tuck, Jenner consulted with a plastic surgeon because the basal cell carcinoma removed from his nose left a large scar that didn’t heal well. While he was there he consulted with the doctor about the Laryngeal Shave.
The shade of it all is that this isn’t the first rumor of Bruce dabbling in a woman’s world. Robert Kardashian’s widow last year claimed Bruce’s first wife Chrystie Crownover alleged that he liked wearing women’s clothing, shoes, and lingerie.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Of course Bruce was every woman’s heartthrob when he was that age, right?” Ellen Kardashian told Star magazine. “But Chrystie said, ‘Yeah, until I went on a trip and I came back and he had gone through all my clothes. And I found my bras… He’d clip them together and wear them’.”
Well, if Bruce does decide to become Bryce we’re definitely here and queer to support her. Go on, live your life the way you want to, with or without an Adam’s Apple. What do you guys think? Is this just another vain celebrity getting plastic surgery or is this the start of Bruce transitioning as a woman? Let us know in the comments.

This has been a rumor since the 70s.

But if he transitions than he loses his place of honor at http://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com/ !!! 🙁

What’s sad is he still feels tied by beliefs of a culture he is no longer a part of.
In the world he lives nobody will care or think ill of him for doing this. He is worried about his fame, which is long past his peak.
He should just do it and forget about that.

Personally as a Transgender person myself, I find the whole tone of this article extremely offensive. It starts out by calling him “weird” because he wants a tracheal shave. It then goes on to insinuate that he is a cross-dresser or worse that he might consider transitioning and a sex change. Regardless of whether this is fact or fiction, this is a very personal issue and should not be made fun of. I think the author of this article is expressing outright Transphobia often exhibited by gay men and less frequently by lesbians.
Bruce Jenner should have our compassion and support if he is indeed struggling with issues of gender conflict. He certainly doesn’t need to be made fun of or called “weird”.

It certainly looks as if Bruce is transitioning:all of the signs are there. If that’s the case, she should move to somewhere that the paparazzi are not & live her life. I don’t envy her. My transition was hard. At least she has the money for the procedures. I feel sorry for her-I was in a support group & PFLAG & it made life so much easier.

I just can’t eat wheaties again. The guy was so hot in his early years. If he really wanted to be transitioned, he had the funds to do it. He is not transitioning. He wants to be young forever. That’s all I see.
Bumper
Whoa, I did not hit enter on that comment! Come on. That was dirty and underhanded.

I don’t know much about him, but he always seemed rather nice from the bits of pop cultural vids I’ve seen of him.
I wish him well.

I’d much rather lead a private life and not be wealthy.

I like F2Ms as they end up looking like men. Lots of M2Fs end up looking tragic. Whatever Jenner is doing, he’s tragic looking.
AuntieChrist
He just looks creepy. One or two tucks over time works okay but these people way over do.

@Vegas Tearoom: Yeah, meeting your aesthetic standards you is every MTFs goal.

@Nikkidane: I, too, picked up on the tone of the article. I think since Bruce denied this for so long, the author was throwing some sarcasm in with no true disrespect intended. I really hope that Bruce has accepted this and proceeds on with surgery. He’s had so much work done that, like vklortho points out, he simply looks like an old lesbian. 😐
He’s entitled to his happiness and I hope he achieves it. Since he has had a form of cancer already, he may realize that the “clock is ticking” and life is too short to be untrue to yourself. But, HEY, that goes for the rest of us, too.

Bruce has gone one tuck over the line.

If Jenner is going through this, then I think that they need to think about moving out of L.A., going someplace where the press isn’t around and work it out.
It can’t be easy going through anything while attached to the publicity hungry Kardashians.
HirsuteOne
I’m confused. Tell me again why the good LGBT people of Queerty are bullying Bruce Jenner for (allegedly) planning a gender transformation? Is the T in that acronym just there for show?

Dear Miss Understood,
Fortunately not.
[And dear, your reply was only one sentence long.
Could you not have proofed it?]

It seems like she has been holding it in for a long which can be painful. Yes she looks horrible right now, but that is all the more reason to go all the way. At least she can put on some make up. lashes, wig etc to cover up her looks. Shaving that massive Adam’s apple is definitely needed.
Q every Bryce I’ve encountered were men

I don’t have much business worrying about how he changes his body. I didn’t ask for permission from anyone when I got this stupid haircut. As a fellow human being (and closer to his age than yours, probably), I encourage people to do what they need to do to be happy. Happy people are less crazy and nicer. Though they do make a racket. (here’s to Coco).

How’s this for ambivalent?
If Bruce is just surgery-obsessed, then please stop, Bruce.
However, if Bruce is transgendered, then he needs and deserves all our support. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be this well-known with this strong a public persona but I hope he does announce his gender identity if he is transgendered.

Judging by that pic he has an extremely prominent Adam’s apple.
He’s apparently had the problems that lead a lot of people into excessive plastic surgery. He had a facelift and a nose job, and they came out badly, and he thought that more surgery would help. In reality more surgery means more scars and less healthy tissue and even worse looks. He seems to be very sensitive about what looks he has left. Skin cancer doesn’t help, and of course that meant removing even more of his face.
Under the circumstances I can see him wondering if shaving the Adam’s apple might improve the overall picture.
The rest is all gossip so far as I can tell.
rickhfx
He should do what makes him happy, it is no ones business but his.
tada-no
Bruce has been “transitioning” for decades now. He must have spent over $10,000 on permanently removing his facial hair alone, instantly feminizing his appearance. Look at his younger photos and he had the same heavy facial hair like his son Brody all hairy and hunky.
morini
He looks worse every day. I feel sorry for him, he was such a good looking MANLY guy..you can see how different he looks at this before and after pic http://surgerystars.com/bruce-jenner-facelift/
