Former Olympian Bruce Jenner's transition into a woman has recently been confirmed, which shocked many people - including his family! However, US Magazine reports that Jenner has received overwhelming support from his 10 children and stepchildren, which has given him courage throughout his gradual transformation.

According to Hollywood Life, Jenner began his transition from male to female one year ago, and is now far along in the process. The 65-year-old has already had his largyngal shaved down in order to reduce his Adam's apple, and has allegedly had lip injections and begun taking estrogen hormones.

At first, Jenner's family was slightly embarrassed by his increasingly feminine appearance. However, a source says, "All the attention has made them stand by Bruce...He has been carrying this with him for so long that everyone is relieved he is starting to come out with it. They all have become protective of him and just want him to live the way he wants."

Jenner has also received aid from psychological counseling, and is supposedly even studying up on women's rights. An insider told Hollywood Life, "He's become quite the connoisseur of women's rights and has even been reading works by powerful and influential women like Gloria Steinem," and added that his studies are "very essential to helping him with his life's journey as well as build his confidence to finally open up to his family and the world about his inner struggles."

Opening up to the world is right - Jenner's transition is being made into a documentary series for E! Network. A show insider stated, "This is not a joke, the number one name for the show that is being thrown around is "Trans-Jenner!" It almost is too perfect. But another name they are also throwing around is "Bruce Jenner - My Journey." They don't want to fully scare off potential viewers with a very risky title for a very risky life change."
