People have hit back at transphobic comments made during Caitlyn Jenner’s Late Late interview
Last night transgender reality TV star and Olympic gold medallist Caitlyn Jenner appeared on the Late Late Show.
The 68-year-old, who revealed her identity as a trans woman in April 2015, chatted to Ryan Tubridy about life, her transitioning period and how her family dealt with the news.
During her interview, viewers took to social media to express their views and unfortunately a lot of them contained homophobic and transphobic messages.
Some hit back at the messages, calling those viewers out on the matter.
Going by the #latelate tweets tonight, Ireland still has plenty of transphobic, racist young people. Which is a bit depressing.

#latelate Whatever anyone may think of the Kardashian's at least Caitlyn had an actual talent back in the day she's an inspiration I think

You might not like Caitlyn Jenner and that's fine. You don't have to like everybody. But don't be transphobic. That's just showing your ignorance #latelate

#LateLate @Caitlyn_Jenner thank you for your open and honest interview, I admit I was baffled by you and your choices, but hearing you and that young guy in the audience made me realise we all need to open our minds to things not on our radar.
