*At the ESPY Awards last night in Los Angeles all eyes were on Caitlyn Jenner.
It was her first major appearance since her transition from Bruce to Caitlyn or from man to woman.
In front of some of the world’s biggest athletes and celebrities, she told the world what the transgender community needs.
“Trans people deserve something vital: They deserve your respect,” Jenner said, as NBC reported. “If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is, I can take it,” she said. “But for the thousands of kids out there, coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn’t have to take it.”
Jenner was this year’s recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, named for the African American tennis star who died of AIDS in 1993.
