Kendall Jenner shared her love and support for her father, Bruce Jenner, on Monday, as he shared his transition from a man to a woman on the July cover of Vanity Fair magazine.
While it must be difficult for a 19-year-old to comprehend, Kendall took to social media to laud the new and very beautiful Caitlyn Jenner.
She wasn’t alone in sharing her support either. Other members of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians family, as well as those both inside and outside of the celebrity world, shared their support for Caitlyn Jenner.
Kendall Jenner first showed her support by retweeting Caitlyn Jenner’s first official tweet–that Vanity Fair cover.

Khloe Kardashian shared her love and support–and pride–as well.
We were given this life because you were strong enough to live it! I couldn't be prouder!!! Caitlyn,… https://t.co/Ho5O6swM0V

Kim Kardashian West lauded not only Caitlyn Jenner, but photographer Annie Leibovitz, who is responsible for the gorgeous cover shot and the photo spread inside July’s Vanity Fair.

She then urged everyone to follow Caitlyn Jenner on Twitter.

It can’t be as easy as it seems for Kendall Jenner and her sisters to watch the man they knew as their dad and stepdad transition into a woman. There must be a sense of mourning that accompanies their pride. Kylie Jenner–the younger of Bruce and Kris Jenner’s children–has yet to publicly acknowledge the transition.
Kudos to Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, and Kim Kardashian West in their support of Caitlyn Jenner. In addition to showing a member of their family the love she deserves, they are setting a fine example for other families with members experiencing life as Bruce Jenner did prior to his transition.
