There couldn't have been a more momentous year for Caitlyn Jenner than this one. She came out as transgender to Diane Sawyer in an ABC interview in April, revealed her new name and look in a Vanity Fair cover story in June, and was given the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs in July. Later that month, E! premiered I Am Cait, the docuseries that tracks Jenner's life since coming out.

Between the accolades and praise, Jenner's transition has been subject to a barrage of attacks and mockery from South Park, from right-wing media, from bigots on Twitter — to the degree that even Siri had to get involved, with helpful hints on how not to misgender the world's most famous trans person.
