Jenner was reportedly considering spelling her name with the letter “k,” like all the other women in the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but has opted for a more traditional spelling of Caitlyn.
The former Olympian will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award as ABC’s EPSY Awards on July 15, ESPN announced Monday.
Jenner first publicly revealed that she was transitioning into a woman in a “20/20? interview with Diane Sawyer.
“For all intents and purposes, I am a woman,” Jenner said in April.

No, you would get them treatment, not celebrate their body dysmorphic disorder.
We'll see how many people here can intelligently approach this, and not just say "bigot," "shut up", or similar things.
Apples and oranges. A person suffering from an eating disorder has an illness. A transgender person does not.

Myself, I'm Mediterranean. Can't change my DNA prone to massive hirsuteness, but damn well better believe I'll try and remove what I can to be a happier person, while harming absolutely no one in the process.
That's fine, but you probably don't expect people to believe you no longer have a Mediterranean background.
Really, this isn't difficult.
I've never heard a transgender person ask people to deny their past, or even DNA. Just to acknowledge who they choose to be. Sorry it affects you so much?
Would PP say "I'm no longer Mediterranean?" Because Bruce Jenner is saying "I'm no longer a man." Wow, this is so simple!
No, I'd say despite being born Mediterranean and hairy, I'm going forward with trying to be not hairy.
Just like a transgender person might say "despite being born male, I'm going forward with trying to be a woman."
Do you really not know the difference between gender and sex? It's really very simple, actually.
Seriously, why on earth do you hold such strong opinions on this? Why does how someone defines themselves, affect you?
Because when one person can convince a host of other people to believe something that is clearly the direct opposite of reality, we have a very large societal problem.
What "societal problem?" Can you explain that, and how it personally affects you?
Because if you will buy this, you will buy anything. And if "society" is currently so dumbed down that it will accept whatever anyone says as "reality" -- despite concrete evidence to the contrary (e.g. the existence of a penis means the human being is a male), then we are on a dangerous path where we can literally be swayed by anyone to believe anything.
I think it's becoming very clear to me that your position is based on ignorance. I don't mean that as an insult, but you seem to only see sex as it pertains to genitals (most of us are xx or xy, but there are other chromosomal variations, and ditto with regards to genital development), and entirely unaware of the difference between gender and sex (ie, male vs man, female vs. woman, etc). There's clearly an informational deficit that's basing your misinformed position.
Well how interesting! It's becoming equally clear to me that your position is based on nothing more than PC psychobabble. And of course I don't mean that as an insult either. You're just very, very gullible. Bless your heart.
Wow. What a completely incomparably rude, classless response.
Oh, please.... this is DCUM. Grow up.
