Caitlyn Jenner was left shaken after coming under fire from furious transgender protesters who criticised her for not being representative of the trans community.

In scenes filmed last November and seen on the latest episode of I Am Cait, the former Olympian is speaking at a charity launch in Chicago when the incident took place.

Standing outside the venue, one protester with their face shielded shouts: "Caitlyn Jenner you are an insult to all trans people, you don’t represent us. You’re a disgrace to our community. You have no right to speak for us. You get those awards and you dress up but you have no idea what it’s really like.

Becoming increasingly angry, they continued: “Caitlyn Jenner get away from us! We don’t get jobs, we don’t get any money. But you get all these awards - this isn’t all fun and games.

"You don’t care about the real transwomen of America - all you care about is what you look like on TV. We don’t need you, we don’t want you here. You don’t speak for us. We didn’t ask for your help!"

As Caitlyn is escorted out after her talk, she insists she wants to go and speak to the crowd.

The I Am Cait star, flanked by two security guards, then attempts to plead with one of the protesters: “I’m not representing you. I’m representing myself."

But things turn even more sour when someone else shouts at Caitlyn: “Don’t you f**king touch her!”

Another protester then tells Cait: “I want a job too but I can’t get one because I’m trans and I’m black.”

“I would love for you to have a job and I’m trying to help people so they understand better,” Caitlyn responds.

The reality star's friend, author Jenny Boylan, later opens up about the incident in a confessional, admitting that it was good for the 66-year-old to experience it.

“It was the first time for Caitlyn that she saw in the flesh people’s reservations about her, and I think that’s actually good for her. There are a lot of people with very reasonable objections to her privilege, maybe her sense of womanhood, her politics.

“Caitlyn is a public figure for transgender people but she’s a problematic figure and she needs to pay attention.”

Following the incident last year, the group behind the protest - who call themselves I Ain't Cait - explained the reasons behind their attack in a Facebook post, referencing Caitlyn's past comments on social housing.

"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."

They added: "Caitlyn Jenner doesn't represent trans people!"

They also called her "a clueless rich white woman who thinks disenfranchised trans women of color should just pluck themselves up off the street and stop being so lazy."
