Watch: Kids react to pictures of Caitlyn Jenner, our hearts melt
By Will Stroude
Since Caitlyn Jenner revealed herself to the world for the first time 10 days ago, public responses have ranged from the the good, the bad and the Burchill – but possibly are favourite reaction video yet has just been released, once again going to show that kids are far more open-minded that most fearful ‘phobes give them credit for.
In an inspiring new short for women’s lifestlye site SheKnows.com, some children were shown two pictures of Jenner both before and after her transition, and their honest and heartwarming reactions are something to behold.
After hearing some of the negative comments Caitlyn’s transition prompted, one shocked-looking child responds: “I think they’re just scared of change and I think they just want everything to stay the same because the don’t know how to handle it.”
He adds to the sound of our hackneyed sobs: “It’s important for you to be yourself, because if you’re not yourself, then who are you?”
Suck on that, Burchill.
