Bruce Jenner dressed in mother’s clothes as teenager: report
Has Bruce Jenner always felt he wanted to transition into a female?
New details have emerged suggesting the former Olympian wore woman’s clothing in his teenage years.
“(Bruce) would play dress up as a kid, just like anyone else, but, as a teenager Bruce would take items from his mom, Esther’s closet,” a source reportedly told Radar Online.
“It would be a sweater, or a loose blouse, and was always done behind closed doors.”
“His favorite items of clothing were silk and satin lingerie. He has always liked the way it feels on his skin,” the insider continued to the gossip site.
Jenner went on to wed three times in his adult life and become the father to six children.
His mother spoke out in an interview with Radar last week stating how proud she is of her son and the jouney he is on.
“Right now I am more proud of him for what he’s allowing himself to do,” she said.
“I am more proud of him now than when he stood on that podium and put the gold medal around his neck. He deserves all the respect.”

“I support him whole-heartedly,” she said. “I just like him like I always have.”
According to Radar’s source, Jenner has “felt ashamed for years.”
“That is what drove his athletic success, thinking that would banish the behavior,” the insider noted of the gold medalist.
“It just didn’t, and Bruce has broken down in tears over the years, telling accurate friends and family about the shame he felt as a teenager. He now recognizes that there was nothing incorrect with wearing women’s clothes. Wanting to help other people, and especially teenagers, struggling with gender identity will become a big platform for Bruce.”
The 65-year-ancient “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, who is in the midst of his gender transformation, was caught up in a honest car crash over the weekend on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
He walked away unharmed but victim Kim Howe, 69, died after striking the back of a Toyota Prius before her Lexus got rear-finished by Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade.
“My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were caught up or injured in this terrible accident,”
