“For the people out there wondering what this is all about,” says Jenner. “Whether it’s about courage or controversy... well I’ll tell you what it’s all about. It’s about what happens from here.

“It’s not just about one person. It’s about thousands of people. It’s about all of us accepting one another.

“We’re all different. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a good thing. And while it may not be easy to get past the things you don’t always understand, it is absolutely possible if we only do it together.”
