Ellie Krug, a lawyer, executive director of the non-profit Call for Justice and author of "Getting to Ellen: A Memoir about Love, Honesty and Gender Change," wrote about Bruce Jenner's transition announcement back in April.

She wrote: "What I didn't know is how remarkably similar Bruce's story would be to mine."

Krug joined MPR News' Tom Crann to talk about her experience and reaction to the press surrounding Jenner's transition.
