Caitlyn Jenner's Emotional Speech at ESPY

Caitlyn Jenner made an emotional plea for "accepting people for who they are" as she was honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at  ESPYs in Los Angeles.
Jenner, donning a white, long-sleeve gown, acknowledged her mother, her children and ABC News' Diane Sawyer in her acceptance speech and called the past few months a "whirlwind."
She said she had never met a transgender person until the past few months, and instead dealt with her "situation" alone and in private.
"This transition has been harder on me than anything I could imagine," she said, adding that "trans people ... deserve your respect."
Jenner, a former Olympic superstar, said she knows the "power of the spotlight" and understands "with attention comes responsibility."
"It's about all of us accepting one another," she said.

Jenner, 66, formerly known as Bruce, revealed in April that she is woman. In June, Vanity Fair magazine released the first photo of the former Olympian since her physical transformation, as well as her name.
“Bruce has received many accolades over the years for being one of the greatest Olympians of our time but The ESPYS are honored to celebrate Bruce becoming Caitlyn," said executive producer Maura Mandt in a statement last month.
"She has shown the courage to embrace a truth that had been hidden for years, and to embark on a journey that may not only give comfort to those facing similar circumstances, but can also help to educate people on the challenges that the transgender community faces.”
