It takes a lot of courage to show the world who you really are, especially if many people don't like it. So when one of the world's most famous athletes told the world she felt a lot more like a "Caitlyn" than a "Bruce," she got a lot of mixed responses. Plenty of people criticized her, saying that she would always be a man, or worse, that she had some sort of mental disorder. But with the help of her supporters, Caitlyn Jenner has finally taken some major steps in transforming her appearance to match how she's always felt on the inside.
Caitlyn's work with the transgender community and her bravery in coming out as transgender in what is still a very transphobic world led to her winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs. Many people criticized the decision, saying that what she was doing was nothing in comparison to the courage that soldiers display on the battlefield. This soldier did an excellent job of shooting down Jenner's critics with a bold message that reminds us that courage comes in all forms, and we can only hope that more people will take his stance on the issue.
Whether you're as tired of the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan as this reporter was when he walked offstage in the middle of a show, or you can't get enough of these famous families, there's no denying that Caitlyn has come a long way in her self-discovery. At age 65, she finally feels free to be who she truly is… and she's already become a serious fashionista in the process. Check out all these great style victories that she's had in such a short time. I can only hope I look that good when I'm her age!
