“I was there last week, well actually, I got home a week and a half ago. And I met Caitlyn. She is… so much more at ease,” Esther said of her child.

As for how she’ll refer to Caitlyn, Esther will be sticking to what she’s used to, at least for now.

“I still have to call him Bruce. His father and I named him that,” she explained. “It’s going to be a struggle for me to get used to the change, but happily so… I’m very happy for him – or her!”
