It was a huge night for world’s most famous transgender, Caityln Jenner when she was honoured with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS on Wednesday.
The reality tv star who was dressed in all white got emotional and let a tear towards the end of her acceptance speech as she thanked her family, including mother, sister and 10 adult children who were in attendance.
She said:
The real truth is that before just a few months ago, I had never met anybody else who was trans,” she said.
“Now as you saw, I dealt with my situation on my own, in private. It’s been eye-opening, inspiring, but also frightening.”They’re getting bullied,” Jenner said of trans youth. “They’re getting beaten up. They’re getting murdered. And they’re committing suicide.”Trans people deserve something vital,”They deserve your respect. And from that respect, comes a more compassionate community, a more empathetic society and a better world for all of us.
