Bruce has said he made the decision to publicly address his decision to transition, saying he hoped it would support others in the same situation: “What I’m doing is going to do some good and we’re going to change the world. “I had this feeling—kind of a revelation—that maybe this is my cause in life. “This is why God put me on this earth, is to deal with this issue. And that was a very powerful moment. It certainly gave me an awful lot of courage.”
