In the reality star's interview, Sawyer asked Jenner if she is indeed a woman.
"For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star answered, posted on ABC News. "People look at me differently. They see you as this macho male, but my heart and my soul and everything that I do in my life-- it is part of me. That female side is part of me. That's who I am."
Jenner gave more details on how she very much feels more like a female and how that can be complex for others to understand.
"My brain is much more female than it is male," she said. "It's hard for people to understand that, but that's what my soul is."
