Trans Activists Confront Caitlyn Jenner: 'You are an Insult to Trans People & Women'

After giving a speech at a luncheon in Chicago Thursday, Caitlyn Jenner was confronted by a group of transgender activists, where one protester told the former Olympian over a loudspeaker: "You are an insult to trans people, you are an insult to women," ET Online reports.

Jenner was leaving the 7th annual Speaker Series luncheon for the Chicago House, which provides social services to those living with HIV/AIDS and other LGBT issues. She gave a speech to a group of 1,000 people.

ET reports a video of the incident popped up online (it has since been deleted), showing the reality star trying to diffuse the situation before she is escorted away by her own security.

"The chaos outside was a great contrast to the uplifting atmosphere inside where Caitlyn had just given her speech," B96 Chicago radio personality Showbiz Shelly, who witnessed the confrontation, told ET. "I thought she handled the situation with poise. By confronting the protesters in the way she did, she emphasized the themes she talked about in her speech. To be respectful, be brave and stand up for what you believe in."

A production source told ET that cameras for Jenner's E! reality show "I Am Cait" were recording the incident for the series' second season. Jenner was joined by castmates Candis Cayne, Jenny Boylan, and Kate Bornstein.

"The group was outside when we showed up with Caitlyn," the source told ET. "They weren't as aggressive when we got there like they were when we left. We've been rolling all day. We were rolling when we arrived, inside the luncheon while she spoke to the group and when we left to follow Caitlyn to her car."

ET reports the group that set up the protest named the event "I Ain't Cait" on Facebook and explained their issues with Jenner come from economic inequality.

"Chicago House, a non-profit who claims to support those of us in the LGBTQ community who experience marginalization, homelessness, and economic exploitation, is holding a fundraiser this Thursday," the event reads, according to ET.

The rest of the event page reportedly read:

Who, you may ask, did they select to speak on the issues facing trans people and especially trans women in our city? Caitlyn Jenner, who lives in a mansion and has a net worth of millions of dollars, while the average trans person has a 41 percent chance of experiencing homelessness and a nearly 50 percent chance of living off less than $10k per year.

Caitlyn Jenner, who said in a segment on her hit new reality TV series "I Am Cait," regarding people who rely on social services to get by: 'You don't want people to get totally dependent on it. That's when they get into trouble. 'Why should I work? You know, I've got a few bucks, I've got my room paid for,'" the event page concludes.
