“Caitlyn Jenner in the house for her first Boy George concert!” she shouted.

One of the more impressive things about Caitlyn Jenner’s emergence as an advocate for the transgender community is how articulately and carefully she describes her position and potential. Jenner said. “This is going to be a good group”.
The release of that cover image in early June – more like a detonation – sets off a flurry of congratulatory phone calls, including one from Cait’s ultrafamous step daughter Kim Kardashian: “All eyes on you now”, Kim says.
In April, she revealed she is a transgender woman who goes by the name Caitlyn, and while I Am Cait is ostensibly her reintroduction to the public, it’s clear Jenner wants the show to be much more.
Jenner, whose docuseries I Am Cait premieres Sunday on E!, came on stage to introduce Boy George at the Greek Theater Friday night.
Caitlyn was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd as she took to the stage to welcome Boy George and his bandmates. There is still so much more work to be done to secure the safety, equality and acceptance of the transgender community, and there’s no wrong in wishing change could happen faster or even with a different spokesperson. Caitlyn gets giddy over the idea of Kris and her wearing the dress at the same time and engaging in a little, “Who wore it better?” shenanigans.
As Caitlyn Jenner’s ascension has many rethinking trans politics, there are thousands of men and women struggling to fully transition.

George thanked Jenner for the intro and gave the enthusiastic crowd some props for the standing O.

“The power of being yourself is so huge”, he said. Other celebrities weighed in on how unbelievable it was to see Caitlyn finally living life as her true self. Caitlyn fans can finally look forward to seeing the highly anticipated E! reality series “I am Cait”.
