So it was kind of a highlight when transgender woman Caitlyn Jenner was given the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
Caitlyn, who gave a 10-minute speech amidst a rapturous ovation, vowed “to do whatever I can to reshape the landscape of how transgender people are viewed and treated.”
“I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids,” Jenner said, wiping her eye.
“Trans people deserve something vital; they deserve your respect,” she said. “From that respect comes a more compassionate community.”
