Former decathlete Bruce Jenner had made news when he decided to be transformed from male into a female transgender and changed her name to Caitlyn Jenner. The feedbacks he received range from insults and criticisms to compliments and encouragements. However, the father of reality TV stars and models rarely gets personally assaulted until today.
LGBT awards
Caitlyn Jenner was a guest at the British LGBT Awards held at the Grand Connaught Rooms in central London. The former decathlete received a Loud and Proud trophy after her successful public transition from Bruce Jenner.
One of the sources of The Sun Online related how happy the star was upon receiving the recognition. The source added that she had a wondrous time and the entire room went insane when she grabbed the award.
Verbal Abuse
While Jenner was leaving the event, one of the onlookers hurled an offensive, transphobic remark at her until she gets into the car. According to several reports, the vile remark came from one of the photographers who was heard calling out Jenner asking him to get his D*** out. Jenners' camp has yet to make a comment about the incident.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police through its spokesman has recently confirmed that several officers were tasked to address the incident that happened last Friday.
He added that the report about a hate crime at an awards event in Great Queen Street, WC2, was made on May 12 at 11:40 PM. The spokesman further said that several officers attended and talked to the organizers who disclosed that a photographer had made the vile remark to a man and a woman while they were leaving the event.
Aside from attending the awards night, Caitlyn Jenner was in the UK promoting her book titled, "The Secrets of My Life." She also made a documentary about her transition in 2015 a book titled, "I Am Cait." Jenner is the ex-husband of Kris Jenner and fathered six children including model Kendall Jenner and reality stars Kylie and Kim Kardashian-West.
His family admired his brave transition, and her daughters have been very vocal about it.
In this modern world, while the world has been receptive to the recent changes especially regarding gender preferences and sexual orientations, there are still those who are having a hard time accepting this reality. Indeed, with varying views, there will always be people who will fail to execute respect towards their fellow human being. It is just admirable that despite the vile remark, Caitlyn Jenner never lost her grace.
