'Trans people deserve something vital: your respect': Emotional Caitlyn Jenner delivers moving 10-minute speech after winning Courage award in front of nine of her children at the ESPYs
- Caitlyn Jenner gave a 10-minute acceptance speech after being presented with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs
- She appealed for respect for all trans people and called for athletes to set an example for others
- Always a controversial choice for the award, cynics took to Twitter to vent their disapproval
- Some cited publicity and money as reasons for honoring Jenner, while others felt there were far more deserving athletes
- The day before the awards, reports surfaced that a deal had been struck between representatives of Jenner and ESPN and ABC
Caitlyn Jenner tearfully thanked her family while accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award on Wednesday at the ESPYs in Los Angeles.
The 65-year-old honoree made her first major public appearance at the awards show since announcing her transitioning to a woman during an April tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer.
Caitlyn got tearful toward the end of her 10-minute acceptance speech in which she gave a heartfelt appeal on behalf of trans youth.
'Trans people deserve something vital,' she said. 'They deserve your respect.'
Her speech was preceded by a 15-minute video detailing her journey and featuring interviews with her mother Esther and model daughter Kendall that was narrated by Mad Men star Jon Hamm.

Sympathy, maybe. But respect you have to earn.

FWIW: hair extensions can make short/thinning hair looks longer and thicker. I saw two women have it done when I was having my last highlights. They left the salon with natural looking long hair.

Nope, being menopausal took care of that.

I'm sad for his entrapment in sin. I'm disgusted in the vile promotion of his sin as something commendable. We, as a people have forgotten what is commendable and praiseworthy.

That is still Bruce Jenner in drag, after undergoing self-mutilation. His chromosomes as still male. He would have been better served going through extensive psychotherapy. I’m still calling him Bruce.

But he missed out on his girlhood. After he’s had that, he can change his name to Linda or Cathy, like other women born in the 50s.

'Trans people deserve something vital: your respect'Never, ever gonna happen. Trans people are deviant freaks, mentally ill, depraved and lost people. Nothing to respect there.

You hit it on the head, just a way for the press to protect one of their own when the evidence shows he did not exercise proper control of his vehicle.
Not a thing in the national press about the change until after the woman’s murder.
