Lady Gaga helped Kendall and Kylie Jenner accept Caitlyn's transition

Last April, Caitlyn Jenner bravely revealed to the world that she was going to transition into a woman in an interview with Diane Sawyer.

At the time, Caitlyn was still known as Bruce Jenner but she discussed her gender reassignment plans at length in the emotional chat.

Now the star has opened up about transitioning in the public eye, admitting that she believes the messages of support that she received from well-known celebrities helped her young daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, accept her as a woman.

Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Sir Elton John were among the extensive list of high profile figures who praised Caitlyn for opening up and being brave enough to transition into her true self, and with Kendall and Kylie aged just 19 and 17 at the time the former Olympic athlete reckons that this helped a lot.

Speaking for an upcoming documentary, ‘The Trans List’, Caitlyn recalled watching the Diane Sawyer interview with her children, sharing: “Alright, so there I am. I’m sitting on this couch and Diane Sawyer is coming on.

“My young kids, especially Kendall and Kylie, they don’t want anybody to hurt their daddy.

“Now, I’m sitting on the couch with all my girls – Kourtney, Kimberly, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie – this is by far the most social media family in the world. They can sit there with their little phones and reach 140 million people all over the world.

“[Other stars] were all just going crazy on social media. I think at that point it made my two little girls, who obviously live in that world, I think it made them feel really good.

“Like, ‘You know what? It’s going to be OK. People still love my daddy.'”

Kendall previously admitted that she struggled more than Kylie to come to terms with the huge change in their lives, especially as Caitlyn had raised her to be such a tomboy.

She explained: “We had ATVs and go-carts, and I grew up riding them all the time, which is why I’m a good driver. It’s super ironic to think about now, but it’s something I can thank my dad for: how much of a tomboy I was.

“That’s why I think the whole thing – her transition – was really hard for me, because I was like, ‘But you taught me everything, tomboy!’

“It has gotten easier. I knew it was going to have its rough phase, but it’s all super normal now. It’s not weird at all.”
