Brody said: ''It's been incredible. I'm not going to sit here and say it's been the easiest thing in the world but it helped me in a lot of ways.It helped the family in a lot of ways just to be incredibly open.'' And the former 'Hills' star is delighted Caitlyn can finally feel ''comfortable in her own skin''. He added: ''You look at somebody and you don't really know what they're going through. And that's anybody, not just my father, but a lot of other people out there in this world. ''The one thing that you want for them is for them to be themselves and for them to be comfortable in their own skin ''And finally, Caitlyn has been able to do that and it's a beautiful thing to see and I think everybody should go through life -- because it is very short -- being the person that they truly are and who they want to be.''..
