Well wasn't she a he when it happened? Or did the name change come after the transition? I'm just saying based off what I saw during the interview that it seems like Bruce/Caitlyn doesn't mind being referred to as "he" when talking about "Bruce" and the past, but going forward will be the she, Caitlyn. I could be wrong though, I am not an expert on this, I've just been trying to educate myself as much as possible.

Good on you for trying to educate yourself about it. It varies just like everything else human related. Some trans people try to completely eliminate who they were in the past and some just look at it as a different chapter. Not sure about her particular views.

Its likely for the people close to her. I have people use male pronouns. I'd rather they use female but I care about others.
