The former Olympic athlete is rumored to be contemplating a risky gender reassignment procedure, reports Radar Online.

In fact, according to the outlet, Bruce is allegedly looking for support from a transgendered individual. Citing Star Magazine, Radar Online claims that Dr. Renée Richards is providing Bruce much needed moral support "in anticipation of major life changes on the way."

Dubbed as Bruce's alleged "sex change coach," Richards reportedly remarked that "a sex change is a serious, life-altering procedure and is not something to do unless you absolutely have no other choice," says Radar Online.

Richards, who has been living as a transgendered person for over 40 years, also advised the 64-year old head of the household to consider antidepressants first. "Life could become an irreversible train-wreck if you're not completely certain about having the surgery," said the doctor.

Bruce Jenner, who according to Star Magazine via Radar Online is eyeing on the name "Bridgette," has already denied rumored plans of a sex change despite a laryngeal shave.

In an earlier report with TMZ, the Olympian said, "I just never liked my trachea," after being linked to the procedure. According to TMZ, the procedure is typically done on patients who are in the first stage of gender reassignment.

"He says he initially went to the plastic surgeon because the basal cell carcinoma that was removed from his nose in September left a large scar that didn't heal well.  He wanted plastic surgery for his nose, and says while he was there he consulted the doc on the Laryngeal Shave," adds the outlet.

The 64-year old was last spotted Wednesday outside of LAX, reports the Daily Mail. He was reportedly seen holding the hand of ex-wife Kris Jenner. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" stars are back in LA after a family vacation in Thailand.
