Since revealing that she identifies as a woman, Caitlyn Jenner has tried her best to be as open and transparent about her experiences in a bid to help others going through similar struggles.
Now in an emotional blog post,the 65-year-old has reached out directly to her followers in a bid to strengthen her bond with the transgender community.
She wrote: "Up until now, I have totally isolated myself from the transgender community so I have a lot of catching up to do. I feel such a responsibility to this courageous group to try to get it right and tell all sides of the story. To me, that’s always the biggest question: am I doing it right?
Caitlyn continued: “I’ve already learned so much about this community, the issues, and the people involved. It’s been an eye-opening experience for me — mainly realising how fortunate I am.
"I’ve heard every horror story there is in the book. You wouldn’t believe the types of ordeals these people have had, how they have had to literally fight for their own survival. Many trans teens are bullied and abused in high school. It’s just horrendous. Then there’s the other dark side of this issue: did you know that nearly 25% of the women in high-end sex business are reportedly trans women?
“Seeing how my new friends have overcome their adversities is such an inspiration. They are so well-adjusted and smart. I’ll be sharing their stories here in the coming weeks and I can’t wait for you to get to know them. They are just like you and me."
Along with her documentary series I Am Cait, the reality star will use her blog to discuss the details of her transitioning process.
Last week, Caitlyn made headlines after winning a spot on Women’s Hour’s list of ‘most inspirational women in the world’.
The former Olympian joined the likes of Angelina Jolie on the prestigious list.
