Reality television star Kim Kardashian pledged her full support on Monday for her stepfather, Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner, who said last week that he identifies as a woman.
Kardashian spoke out for the first time about her stepfather in an interview on NBC's "Today" show with Matt Lauer saying what is most important to her and her family is that Jenner is happy.
Jenner became the most high-profile American to come out as transgender when he told journalist Diane Sawyer on ABC's "20/20" news magazine show that he was transitioning to become a woman.
Jenner, who won a gold medal in the decathalon at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, told Sawyer that "for all intents and purposes I am a woman."
About 17 million people watched the show.
It was also the top worldwide trend on Twitter with 8.1 million people seeing one or more of the 972,000 tweets about it.??
