Caitlyn Jenner reveals she first tried to transition 30 years ago (VIDEO)
Caitlyn Jenner has revealed she first attempted transitioning in the 1980s.
The former Olympian made the revelation in a video played at the Makers Conference in California on Tuesday (February 2).
Jenner revealed that she underwent hormone treatment and had even grown breasts ā which she says she ālovedā.
Despite beginning treatment, the fear of how people would react force the star to suspend treatment.
āI started on hormones. I was a good 36B. I loved them. I thought this was fabulous,ā she said.
āMy mission at that point was to transition before I was 40. Got to 39ā¦ I just couldnāt go any further.ā
A few months later, Jenner met her ex-wife Kris ā with whom she says she was brutally honest.
āWe hit it off from day one,ā Jenner recalled. āI was very honest with her. I had to be, I was a 36B.
āEverything was really heading in the right direction, and I made this decision to move on with my life, Kris and I together with this family.ā
Although Kris accepted her new husband, their budding relationship forced Caitlyn to take some drastic action.
āI actually had my boobs removed. I never told anyone that,ā Jenner said.
āThe rules with Kris and I were, āDonāt dress up, certainly around the house.ā
āIf you really need to do that, when youāre on the road, take stuff and do that.ā
However, Kris has previously denied her ex-partnerās allegations ā claiming she only found out about Caitlynās earlier treatment a decade after they were married.
āWhy would you want to be married and have kids if this is what you wanted since you were a little boy?ā she said.
āWhy would you not explain this all to me?ā
Caitlynās eldest son Burt, meanwhile, says he has also known his father was trans, but was sworn to secrecy by his family.
