Caitlyn Jenner got an earful from transgender protesters outside a Chicago charity event where the former gold medal-winning Olympian was keynote speaker Thursday.
"You are an insult to trans people! You are an insult to women!" one protester yelled through a bullhorn at the 66-year-old. "You have no right to represent us! You are an insult!"

As Jenner approached the protester with the bullhorn, the shouts got louder: "Do not touch me! Do not touch me!"
Jenner did have a quieter chat with one protester, who said, "I respect your transitioning, but it's different than the one I experienced."

"I totally agree," Jenner replied.
"I want a job, too," the protester continued. "I want to get my boobs done. I work every day as a community activist, and I have no job."
Soon Jenner was escorted away from the fray by security.
The protesters, reportedly from a group dubbed "I Ain't Kait," complained that Jenner is a "clueless rich white woman" who doesn't represent transgender people who struggle to survive every day.
Jenner also has been criticized for touting less-than-liberal perspectives on "I Am Cait," noting that welfare recipients can rake in more money than those with entry-level jobs: “Why should I work? I got a few bucks, I got my room paid for."
"Caitlyn Jenner ... 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," ET said the group wrote on its Facebook page, which wasn't active Friday morning.
Since announcing a planned transition in April, Jenner got the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs, was named one of Glamour's Women of the Year and was among nine runners-up for The Advocate's Person of the Year.
