This has to be kinda awkward to talk about on national television!
Kylie Jenner appears on Ellen today and talks all about her dad Caitlyn's transition, and she's pretty candid considering how sensitive a topic it must be for her.
The talk show host urged the teenager to open up about her parent, and the 18-year-old made the surprising revelation that she liked her father better as a woman!
"I like her better than Bruce. Because we talk about makeup and clothes we bond a lot more, but not only that. I feel like there’s not a huge secret in the family. I feel like there was always this big secret. And I’ve honestly known about it for a really long time and we actually caught him then dressing up as a girl. When my sister and I were like 6 and 7 maybe. So we’ve known for a while that there was something, but it was never talked about," she confessed.
Kyls also explained that she hopes her acceptance of the gender struggle will be an example to her peers.
"Honestly, like I’d be with my girlfriends sometimes and he then would come in and be like what are you guys talking about and kind of joke around and I knew there was something, but now I feel like we hang out a lot more there’s no secrets. She’s really living her authentic true self. And I feel like that’s awesome and also I want to be someone from my generation to like be an example because I think that’s so awesome and I think that other girls and boys my age will maybe see that I’m so accepting and be accepting of other people too," she added.
So has anything, other than the obvious, changed? "Honestly no. She’s the same exact person she just looks different I guess," she maintained.
If Kylie didn't have her dad to talk about, who knows what other things these two would have discussed!
