Jenner says she wants to use her powerful celebrity platform to help transgender people achieve acceptance and she urged the audience to learn about people different than themselves.

Tears welled in the eyes of Jenner's younger daughter, Kylie, whose sister, Kendall, wiped a tear from her eye.(ika)
