She probably never thought she'd see the day!
Caitlyn Jenner won the coveted Outstanding Reality Program prize at the GLAAD awards in LA on Monday night, and the transgender TV star couldn't help but get emotional talking about her friends and co-stars during her acceptance speech.
"I had never met anyone who was trans and we sat down and we had dinner. We had the most wonderful time and that relationship started then, and its only grown and grown and grown. You girls have been the backbone, you've taught me so much, I've learned so much from you from you this last year. You're my absolute best friends and I know you'll always have my back and its been just wonderful to work with you. I know when we finished season two I was literally crying because I couldn't stand going through life without you girls around," she said while choking back tears.
The Olympian also shared her pride in being able to expand awareness on trans issues.
"It’s been such a wonderful experience being able to shoot this show. We’re trying to make a difference. We’re trying to make the next generation of trans people out there, make it seem more normal. I had never met another trans person. I lived my life in silence, I suffered on my own. As so many people in this room have such a difficult time coming out and being your true self and being who you are, it is a long struggle... but the last year has been the most rewarding year of my life," she added.
Life is sweet for Cait these days!
