The reality star and former athlete plans on being a lesbian once he completes his gender reassignment.
Star has learned that Bruce wants to be known as Belinda after he finishes transitioning. “Inside, he has always been Belinda,” explains a source close to the 65-year-old. “He has been planning this transformation for such a long time.”
The 65-year-old Olympic gold medalist has told loved ones that he ‘can’t imagine himself being attracted to men.’
According to
Star Magazine. ‘
He’s not sure if the hormone treatments will change how
he feels about men.But right now he says that he still likes women
.He’s always loved the ladies. He longs to be feminine and pretty – and
also to feel the touch of another woman.’
As Polly Kahl, a licensed counselor who specializes in transgender patients tells Star,
sexual orientation and gender identity are separate issues. “If Bruce
remains attracted to women after gender reassignment, she may consider
herself gay and continue to date women,” Kahl explains.
Kahl says intense hormonal therapy could bring on an attraction to men, but the insider doesn’t see that happening with Bruce.
