Caitlyn Jenner says her journey has been eye-opening, inspiring, but also frightening. The former Olympian accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs in Los Angeles Wednesday. In an emotional speech, she asked for respect for transgender people from a more compassionate community. Caitlyn was accompanied by her family, including her mom and three stepdaughters, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, who were seen holding back tears as she spoke. She thanked them for their unconditional support upon her transition. This is Jenner’s first big public appearance after she announced she was a transgender woman during an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer in April.
