It is a moment several months in the making: Caitlyn Jenner's first major public appearance since identifying as transgender and undergoing facial feminization surgery.
And it's happening in the most public way possible: on a stage in Los Angeles in front of thousands of people and millions of viewers.

Jenner is "helping people around the world understand more about what it means to be transgender and serving as an inspiration to countless young trans people who may be struggling to just be who they are," said Sarah Kate Ellis, CEO of the advocacy organization GLAAD.

The ESPYs award will be presented to Jenner by the famed soccer player Abby Wambach who is, like Jenner, an Olympic gold medalist.
