Bruce Jenner has been physically changing in a feminine fashion for months. But now, In Touch Weekly is claiming Bruce is ready to expose his real self and his desire to become a woman, and the magazine went as far as to give him a makeover on its cover.

The controversial photoshopped cover that has everyone talking is a photo of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star wearing a coral-colored lipstick and blush on his cheeks. His shoulder-length hair also curls above his shoulders and he has a huge smile on his face.
In Touch is reporting that Bruce intends to go public with his new life as a woman in 2015 and complete his transformation within the year.
"He will come clean in 2015 about transitioning," a source close to the reality TV star told In Touch. "This will be the year of his coming out. He knows that people have recognized his changes, and he's finally becoming more comfortable with himself and his choice to be a woman."
Bruce allegedly wants to go big or go home when it comes to his revelation.

"When Bruce goes public, he wants to go big and come out as a transwoman on the cover of The Advocate, the ultimate LGBT magazine," the source continued.
"He wants to look as glamorous as possible -- full makeup with a bold wardrobe. He won't live his new life in designer clothes like the Kardashian women. He just wants his first official portrait as a woman to be classic and memorable."
Bruce is living life for the sake of his own happiness now, according to the magazine, and doesn't need friends or family to approve of his new look and official transition.
"He just wants to live his truth: He's a great father who's had an amazing life who just so happens to be trapped in the wrong body," explained the source. "Bruce hopes that in a few years, once he's living full-time as a woman, he'll be wondering why he waited so long to do this."
The magazine cover has outraged gay rights activists as well as his ex-wife Kris Jenner.
