It's just a big old love fest in here, and we couldn't be happier about it! Caitlyn Jenner has been getting a lot of support since revealing that she was going to transition from Bruce Jenner into a woman. While it might have been a scary time for the 65-year-old to reveal that she has always felt like a woman, the love and support for the former Olympic athlete and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has outweighed any of the negativity. However, it was another trans woman, Laverne Cox, that Caitlyn thanked for her continued support on her Twitter page the other day.

According to Radar Online, Caitlyn reached out to the Orange Is the New Black star to thank her for her kind words and support as she made this momentous transition.

"You are fierce and fabulous! Your support means the world. Thank you for all you do for the community," the trans beauty tweeted to the OITNB actress, adding the hashtag #TransIsBeautiful."

Prior to Caitlyn's interview with Diane Sawyer earlier this year, Laverne tweeted her support to the star and her family.

"Sending lots of love and support to #BruceJenner and their family tonight. It is always brave to stand in one's truth," the actress wrote, adding "congrats darling."

The star also opened up to Us Weekly saying that she is so happy that the world has become a much more welcoming place for LGBT folks.

"I was getting ready earlier and my hairstylist said, 'When he was a kid, it was just not like this.' We were watching television and they were talking about Caitlyn and they were talking about LGBT folk who've come out on YouTube," the star explained during OrangeCon on June 11. "The world is so much more welcoming for folks like us. So that's really beautiful."
