it was bruce jenner speaking only to diane sawyer. >> i would say i have always been very confused with my gender identity since i was this big. so -- here i am, stuck. i hate the word, you know -- girl stuck in a guy's body. i hate that terminology. >> why? why? >> i'm me. i'm me. i'm a person. this is who i am. i'm not stuck in anybody's body. it's just who i am as a human being. my brain is much more female than it is male. it's hard for people to understand that. but that's what my soul is. >> are you a woman? >> um -- yes. for all intents and purposes, i am a woman. i was not genetically born that way. um -- as of now, i have all the male parts. and all that kind of stuff, but we still identify as female.

i have always been married, you know, raising kids. >> right. and you can desire a woman every bit as much. >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: that third marriage to the former kris kardashian would eventually make jenner a reality show fixture. >> the one real, true story in the family was the one i was hiding and nobody knew about it. and i could not tell that story. >> reporter: yet, with paparazzi on the trail, jenner was photographed at a doctor's appointment for an adam's apple reduction. that night, jenner paced the hallways. >> heart's pounding. i thought, wouldn't the easiest thing to be right now, and i can see where people get to that, is go in the room, got a gun, boom. you know. pain's over. it's done. you know. go to a better place. and i thought, ah, i can't do something like that.

i mean -- i want to know how this story ends. you know? how does my story end? >> reporter: and that story continuing now with reaction from all over the world. so many messages of support for jenner. as a transgender person transitioning to being a woman. it doesn't overstate the case to say this is a significant moment in american society. >> such a compelling interview. so we know the next time we see him, he'll emerge as a woman. do we know when that will be? >> he hasn't said as far as i know jenner hasn't said when that will happen or what the name jenner will choose to use when he does this. >> to amplify your point about this being perhaps a watershed moment in american history, it was like we were having a conversation in our living rooms that we have never had before. you and i discussed this before the show. >> i think diane said last night, only 8% of people said they know a transgender person right now. to have this conversation is the conversation we have yet to have in our living rooms. and it changes the way we talk about things now. >> in a sense we all know someone now. >> that's right. >> thank you, chris.

many. coming up, how did jenner's family react to the news? including who knew about the big family secret and when. we'll have that later in the show. want to turn now, though, to ron who has a breaking story overnight on an earthquake and avalanche. >> a desperate search going on in nepal for survivors after the powerful earthquake. homes and centuries-old temples have been leveled because of the quake. it was so violent it triggered avalanches all across the himalayas. hamish macdonald is live with the latest details in london. >> reporter: ron, good morning. there are grave fears for climbers on mt. everest now. the nepalese authorities say at least eight people have been killed as a result of an avalanche that struck the country after the earthquake. the death toll stands at almost 900 people right now, though that figure is steadily
