It depends on how Caitlyn feels about all the negative press she will probably face now, and also upon what her ideas of coming out entailed. The thing about bravery is that to be brave means to face your fears, but fears are subjective and entirely insubstantial. Is a man not brave for facing a fear which was ultimately harmless?This is why the stupid debate on who is more brave is, well, stupid (this is a reference to Surtur's posts mostly, not yours). What might be less scary for you might be terrifying to Jenner. Do I particularly sympathize with Jenner or think of them as heroic or brave? No not really. But I wouldn't get up in arms with people who do. Bravery is a state of mind. Actions can show it, but ultimately its impossible to gauge. It's not quantifiable. So it ultimately can't be objectively debated, at least in this instance.
Though I think a good measure of universal bravery would be standing up to something everyone fears and seeing how they react in the face of such overwhelming fear; spiders.

That's really amazing. Good on him to stop and think.If Caitlyn Jenner's fame and publicity can make life just a little bit easier for trans people it's so worth it.
