Jose Canseco Will Live As Woman For A Week to Support Caitlyn Jenner

Former MLB slugger Jose Canseco has decided he wants to show the world just how much he supports Caitlyn Jenner. The 51-year-old ex baseball player plans to spend a week living as a woman, meaning full makeup and dresses, TMZ reports.

He wants to document the entire thing for his new Internet reality series "Spend a Day with Jose." The show will follow him around as he plays sports like golf, softball, bowling and even poker except for one giant twist – he'll be doing it all as a woman.

When asked if he would be taking this seriously he replied, "Yes. Of Course."

He admits that he was initially "kind of against" Bruce Jenner's decision to make his transition to Caitlyn, but he wants to take a stand for the LGBT community. "In the very beginning, I didn't understand it," he told New York Daily News. "Once I watched it more and more, and realized what it really entailed what [Bruce Jenner] was going through, I started supporting him."

As for his own personal trial journey, "The only thing I can do is confirm it," he continued to say. "I can't say exactly how it's going to be done yet. It will be done for about a week-it will be on my Internet show. Once it's completely done, I will be dressing up and living as a woman for a week. I'm talking about full everything."

Canseco finished out his major-league career in 2001 but has managed to remain in headlines ever since, according to Fox News. He's had an independent baseball career, multiple apperances on reality shows, and even a short-lived attempt at an MMA career.

He is engaged to Leila Knight, who not only gives her full support to Jenner, but also to what her fiancé is doing.

Jenner has not yet commented on Canseco's new way of showing support.
