'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 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.

Just kidding you.

You're right though. Jenner appears to have gotten a pass on this bit of manslaughter.

Think he’s playing up his woman cred so if he’s convicted he gets to go to a chickie prison? I do. Nothing these fame-obsessed people do are done without first considering the PR angle. Nothing.

All people deserve our respect. But they don’t get to force us to buy into their delusions. Jenner, by any name, is still a man, albeit seriously diminished.

‘Trans people deserve something vital,’ he should have said. ‘They deserve your sympathy.’

I will not respect people dealing with depression for their mental illness, but they certainly have my sympathy. I will not respect people who incorrectly believe they are Moses, Jesus, or Napoleon, but they also have my sympathy. And the same goes for men who believe they are women, women who believe they are men, and children who believe they are puppies: sympathy, yes; respect for their delusions, no.

OMG it looks like Steven Tyler.

Oh, and the kind of “moving 10 minutes” I typically enjoy about 7:15am.

Every human being should be respected, but dysfunction should be called what it is and not enabled.
