Bruce Jenner is once again being hit with sex change rumors. According to a report by Star magazine (via Radar Online), the 64-year-old former Olympian reportedly has a "sex change coach" to answer all his questions about switching genders.
A source told the magazine that Jenner has been talking to Dr. Renee Richards, a transgendered former tennis player. The source claims that Richards has been offering Jenner a lot of advice and support. Reportedly, not only does he want to change genders but the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star wants his new name to be Bridgitte, Star claims.
"[Richards told Jenner that a sex change] is a serious life-altering procedure and is not something to do unless you absolutely have no other choice," the source told Star.
"She said someone should consider antidepressants first, because life could become an irreversible train-wreck if you're not completely certain about having the surgery," the source added.
Richards, who was born Richard Raskind, changed genders in 1975 and gained national attention after the United States Tennis Association refused to let her play as a woman in the 1976 US Open. While Bruce and his wife Kris Jenner have publicly dismissed the rumors, there was a report that it was beginning to take a toll on Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
A source previously told Radar that the sisters were "confused" about their father allegedly wanting to become a woman.
"Kylie and Kendall just don't know what to think," the source said. "It's extremely confusing for them to grasp. There is just no denying Bruce's recent physical changes, and he does look more feminine."
"It's been especially hard for Kylie because some of her friends have made jokes about Bruce's looks," the source continued. "Kendall continued to spend time with her dad, while Kylie hasn't been hanging out as much with Bruce, unless it's for filming."
