Kendall Jenner daughter of Caitlyn Jenner has admitted that she is still coming to grips with the transformation of her father from man to woman.
She said this in the latest issue of Vogue in which she is featured on the front cover.
The model had this to say about the matter, “It’s super ironic to think about now, but it’s something I can thank my dad for: how much of a tomboy I was. That’s why I think the whole thing—her transition—was really hard for me, because I was like, ‘But you taught me everything tomboy!'”
While she says things are normal between them she admits that things still get a little weird, “Sometimes I look at a picture of my dad when she was a guy, and it makes me a little sad—I get emotional,” adding, “You have to get past it—you’ve got a new person to love. It’s kind of a blessing in disguise—if that’s not the wrong way to say it.”
The interviewer also noticed that Kendall still sometimes mixes up the pronouns when referring to Caitlyn, “You want to know what’s crazy? I want to be careful about how I say this because I don’t want it to come off wrong, because I’ve never said this out loud, but I have recently… even when I say ‘him’ or ‘her’ about someone who is clearly a guy or clearly a girl—even with my mom—I second-guess it now because of my dad,” Kendall said.
She also reveals that she and sister Kylie somehow always knew about Caitlyn’s tendencies “My whole life we would, like, catch her, and we would be like, ‘What is going on here? I think we know, but do we?’ At one point Kylie and I thought he was cheating on my mom, because he had makeup and nail polish. One time we found those squishy boob things. We found wigs,”
She also went on to narrate a particular incident in detail, “She would wake up really early just so she could dress up and move around the house and get that little kick for the morning, and then go back to being Bruce—take us to school, totally normal,” Kendall says.
“So one morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. so thirsty, came downstairs into the kitchen, and grabbed a bottle of water. And as I was coming back out, my dad was coming down the stairs in, like, a wig and makeup and shoes—the full nine. And she didn’t see me. I literally froze. Please don’t turn left. Because she could either turn left or turn right. Thank God she turned right and—to this day!—has no idea that happened. That was the first time I had ever seen her,” Kendall revealed.
