Watch Caitlyn Jenner's Powerful Speech at ESPYS 2015

Last night, at the 2015 ESPYS, Caitlyn Jenner was presented the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Before Cait made her acceptance speech, U.S. Women's Soccer team star Abby Wambach introduced a video package, narrated by Jon Hamm, showing Caitlyn's journey from Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner to a woman working to improve the lives of fellow transgendered people.

"This transition has been harder on me than anything I could imagine, and that's the case for so many others besides me," Caitlyn said during part of her emotional, inspiring speech. "For that reason alone, trans people deserve something vital - they deserve your respect. And from that respect comes a more compassionate community, a more empathetic society, and a better world for all of us. ... It's not just about one person - it's about thousands of people. It's not just about me. It's about all of us accepting one another. We're all different - it's not a bad thing. That's a good thing."

Here's the full intro, video package, and speech, in a 27-minute video:
