LOS ANGELES (AFP): US Olympic champion turned reality TV star Bruce Jenner came out as transgender on Friday, saying: "For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman."
In a highly-anticipated TV interview the 65-year-old said he had wrestled with his sexual identity since he was small.
"I've always been confused about my gender identity since I was this big," he told ABC's celebrity interviewer Diane Sawyer.
"Here I am, stuck - and I hate the word - (a) girl stuck in a guy's body. I hate that terminology."
