Kendall Jenner is on the cover of Vogue's famed September Issue. Here's what she has to say in the accompanying interview, which focuses a lot on her father:
"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! Sometimes I look at a picture of my dad when she was a guy, and it makes me a little sad—I get emotional. 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.
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.
My whole life [Kylie and I] 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 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.
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.
My mom knew. She knew since their third date."
