Stepping off the plane from his
Thailand family getaway, Bruce Jenner arrived back as reports surfaced
about his 'possible sex change'.
Star Magazine said on Wednesday that the 64-year-old has reached out to his longtime friend transgender rights advocate Renee Richards.
Bruce and the doctor - who played tennis in the US Open - have been friends for a long time and, of course, both had professional sports career so, according to Star, the reality star has reached out for advice on whether he should go through gender reassignment surgery.
According to Star a source said the former tennis pro is now acting as Bruce's 'sex change coach'.
The source said the doctor told the star the surgery was 'a serious, life-altering procedure and is not something to do unless you absolutely have no other choice'.
'She said someone should consider antidepressants first, because life could become an irreversible train-wreck if you’re not completely certain about having the surgery.'
The reality star is however, considering making the transformation into a woman enough that the source says he has picked out a female name, Bridgitte.
Reports first surfaced that the star was transgender, after he had surgery in February to shave down his Adam's Apple.
While the operation - known as chondrolaryngoplasty - can be the first step in gender reassignment surgery, Bruce told TMZ he underwent the procedure because 'I just didn't like my trachea'.
On Wednesday Bruce was back in Los Angeles, California, with his family after Keeping Up With The Kardashians went to Thailand.
The star walked out of LAX holding the hand of his estranged wife Kris Jenner, despite the couple separating last year.
Dr. Richards paved the way for transgender sportspeople after fighting against the United States Tennis Association requiring female players to be born women.
After being denied entry to the 1976 US Open, Dr. Richards successfully had the New York Supreme Court overturn that ban.
