On Wednesday night, Caitlyn Jenner made headlines at the 2015 ESPYs Awards for her amazing acceptance speech as she won the Arthur Ashe Courage award. Can we also just take a moment to mention her cracking bod, which she showed off in a cream Versace floor-sweeper? Swit-swoo!
The speech was totes emosh, obvs, with Caitlyn’s daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner alongside stepdaughters, Khloe, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian all turning up to show their support. Although ex-wife Kris Jenner couldn’t be there, she told Us Weekly: “I think it was amazing and very brave. I think she looked beautiful.”
During the speech, Caitlyn fought back tears as she spoke out about life since her transition: “The last few months have been a whirlwind. Trans people are getting bullied, they’re getting beaten up, they’re getting murdered, they’re committing suicide. If you want to call me names, make jokes and doubt my intentions, go ahead because the reality is I can take it. But for thousands of kids out there coming to terms with the reality of who they are they shouldn’t have to take it. Trans people deserve something vital, they deserve your respect. From that respect comes a more compassionate community.”
Hear, hear!
