The former Olympian previously known as Bruce confirmed in her book
"The Secrets of My Life," coming out on Tuesday, that the 2017
"surgery was a success."
And Jenner said on the ABC interview, she had "no regrets, none
whatsoever."
Beyond that, Jenner didn't want to talk about the details, telling
Sawyer, "I’m not going to dwell on that subject. It's not an appropriate
question to ask a trans person."
But nothing else was off-limits, as Sawyer caught up with Jenner nearly
two years after the TV journalist had done their last emotional interview.
Then, the ex-athlete stunned the world by revealing how he had lived a lie.
Inside, ex-decathlon champ Jenner had always identified as a woman.
Since then, Jenner said she has been "happy, peaceful…all of that
confusion has left me….I did the right thing" -- and doesn't miss
"Bruce" a bit.
Sporting red nails and stylishly feminine clothing, Jenner recalled
how—when he was still known as Bruce--he had put an instruction in his will:
"When I'm buried, I want to be dressed as her 'cause that's the way I'm
going to heaven."
As many know from her former reality show, "I Am Cait," Jenner
is a Republican and she confided to Sawyer, "Yes, I did vote for
Trump."
Jenner was initially impressed with Trump for reaching out to transgender
people at the Republican National Convention and noted, "He wanted me to
come play golf with him."
But Jenner got upset when President Trump's administration revoked the
federal guidelines that allowed public school students to use bathrooms
corresponding to their gender identity--believing it's an issue best left to
state and local authorities to decide.
"It was extremely disappointing…you mess with my community, you
don't give us equality and a fair shot, I'm coming after you," Jenner
sighed about President Trump's decision.
Although Jenner has had her jawline, forehead, and breasts worked on, she
insists she's always been a woman because what's important is "what's
between your ears."
Jenner said she's fine with her ex-wife, Kris Kardashian, and stays in
touch with all her kids while they pursue their own lives.
"Nobody calls that much. I reach out to them," commented the
former "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star.
Jenner told Sawyer that she has "never been on a date" in the
two years since she came out as transgender, and doesn't really see dating in
her future.
Instead, Jenner is most focused on helping the transgender community
through charities and building awareness about discrimination and other issues.
"I want to fight this fight," she vowed.
