Sometimes, Halloween retailers try to cash in on the major issues of our time by developing awful (and insensitive) costume ideas that let people get in on the story. This is one of them.
Spirit Halloween, the company known for creating pop-up costume shops across the country every year, decided to create a get-up in reference to Caitlyn Jenner‘s courageous re-introduction to the world as a transgender woman. The costume itself is an obvious representation of her iconic cover on Vanity Fair.
“Caitlyn Jenner has proven to be the most important real-life superhero of the year, and Spirit Halloween is proud to carry the costume that celebrates her,” said PR head, Trisha Lombardo. She went on to say that the company’s decision shouldn’t be seen as a slight against transgender people, and that it should fit in with their usual line-up depicting famous figures and celebrities.
Needless to say, not everyone is so excited with the idea. “There’s no tasteful way to ‘celebrate’ Caitlyn Jenner or respect transgender people this way on the one night of the year when people use their most twisted imaginations to pretend to be villians and monsters,” said Vincent Villano of the National Center for Transgender Equality.
Twitter users have also noted their displeasure with the outfit:

What self respecting boy wants to dress up like a Sodomite?
lmao
Wow what can we say. LGBT groups are upset??? The whole trans business is not an appropriate costume for Halloween??? Okay.......who knew.........
Now anyone can be a drag queen. Why let it stop at Halloween?
There will be major anguish in the MSM about the insensitivity of 5 his just like the Bill Maher Steve Irwin costume. Oh, wait......
5 his=this. I’m really starting to hate this new phone.
I know...I just don’t think I want my sons wearing dresses. No matter how funny it is. You know what I mean?
Jenner still looks like a man in spite of all he has done to himself. He is a failed female. I refuse to call him Caitlyn or refer to him as she or her.
It was liberals that took it seriously....
a costume for Eunuchs dating women.
what kind of a loser would pay money and USE that?!
He’s still Brucie-Woosie, still got his junk, still XY chromosomed.
The media shouldn’t insult real women named Caitlyn by pasting that name onto Jenner. What a freak.
I believe these costumes are for adults for adult Halloween parties such as employment and association parties (MENSA, VFW, etc.) where the idea is to have a memorable and humorous costume. As in adults don’t take the ‘spooky’ side of Halloween seriously.
Wonder if women will fight to reclaim “Caitlyn” away from the trannies.
Some do. You wont find them at these kinds of parties.
The last pictures I saw of him in the white bathing suit looked like he was not all there......... If you catch my drift!
Better buy one before the trannies get it removed.
Next? “The Walking Dead” wardrobe department.
Now that`s funny! You should read the commentary there, even funnier!
