Kim Kardashian has shared new details as to what viewers can expect from two upcoming special episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which document the family finding out about Bruce Jenner's gender transition.

"Every family member gets really emotional," she told Access Hollywood.

The two eps will air on Sunday (May 17) and Monday (May 18), and feature various reactions from his children and family members when he tells them his news.

"You'll see moments – I think that's why we really, really wanted to do this special, because other families are definitely going through what we're going through," Kim added.

"And every family member has a different reaction, and that's okay."

Bruce Jenner: Through The Years

In his younger years, Bruce used to try on his sister's dress and his mum's scarves. “I didn’t know why I was doing it, except it just made me feel good.”

Bruce Jenner’s first wife Chrystie Crownover was the first person to know he was questioning his identity, in the early 1970s, when he told her that he was into “a little cross-dressing… It’s fine, we’ll work all this stuff out.”

Second wife Linda Thompson also knew, with Bruce opening up a little more, and explaining, “it’s not something you can overcome, fix or pray away.”

"Gender was a big part of the breakup...I wasn't as fair as I should have been," explained Bruce, on why his marriage to Linda collapsed.

When Bruce met Kris Jenner, he had been taking female hormones for almost five years, and had also undergone electrolysis to get rid of his beard and chest hair.

He says Kris knew he had been taking the hormones and liked wearing women's clothes, but added, "I kind of downplayed it.”

“If [Kris] were good with it, we’d probably still be together,” admitted Bruce, when speaking of his decision to transition.

Bruce isn’t gay and has no plans to enter a relationship with a man. "No, I'm not gay. I am as far as I know, heterosexual," said the 65-year-old. "I've never been with a guy, I've always been married, raising kids."

When stories about Bruce's tracheal shave leaked, he contemplated suicide, but - thankfully - talked himself out of it. “I mean, I want to know how this story ends,” he said.

Bruce's youngest children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, once caught him trying on a dress. Kendall had set up a webcam because she thought Kylie was stealing her clothes, but then when she checked the footage, they saw their dad.

The first of Bruce's children to know about his transition was Brandon Jenner, who admits he didn't take it "perfectly" at first, but now “I feel like I’m getting an upgraded version of my dad.”

Bruce told Diane Sawyer that of his 10 children, Kim “has by far been the most accepting and easiest to talk about it with." Turns out Kanye West helped Kim by explaining to his wife that no matter how much a person has, "I’m nothing if I can’t be me.”

In fact, Kim has been so accepting of Bruce's transition that she told him, “Girl, you gotta rock it, baby. You gotta look good.”

Khloe Kardashian took things the hardest. “You would think that out of all the kids, Khloe is the most open-minded,” said Bruce. “She’s had the toughest time with it, because she’s had a lot of loss in her life.”

Kendall and Kylie had this to say about their dad's transition: “We love our dad very much, he has the biggest heart and all we want is for him to be happy, if he’s happy, we’re happy.”

It is thought that we'll see Bruce tell all of his children about his transition on the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on May 31st.

“I’d be so mad at myself if I didn’t explore that side of me,” Bruce said, on realising - in his 60s - that he didn't want to die having only lived as a man.

Bruce has picked a new name, but didn't reveal it to Sawyer as, "The media would go crazy".

Bruce may undergo a full surgical gender reassignment, but if he does, don't expect another two-hour special. “I would do it so quietly, no one in the world would ever know."

He believes that by speaking out on his journey, Bruce can help raise awareness and stop the stigma around LGBTQ issues. “We’re going to make a difference in the world with what we’re doing."

"At the end of the day, we all support Bruce, no matter what," she explained.

"But there's a journey that you have to go on to understand it. That journey is different for everybody.

Kim continued: "Bruce really wanted to help other families as well, and make this really informative. And you see our raw emotion – that's who we are. I hope it helps other people."
