Halloween retailer Spirit Halloween, which previously defended its decision to sell a costume inspired by Bruce Jenner’s gender transition, caved to pressure from LGBT groups, and pulled the costume from its website Wednesday.
The “Call Me Caitlyn Unisex Adult Costume,” which satirizes the former Olympian’s likeness, as seen on the cover of the July issue of Vanity Fair, sparked outrage online Tuesday, with Twitter users and LGBT advocates describing it as “transphobic.”
Some of those upset by the costume also made violent threats toward anyone considering going as the transgender TV star.
A Change.org petition demanding Spirit Costumes pull the ensemble, expressed concerns it would continue the company’s “oppressive tradition with a transphobic costume of Caitlyn Jenner.”
“To make a costume out of a marginalized identity reduces that person and community to a stereotype for privileged people to abuse. In this case, if you follow through with production of a Caitlyn Jenner costume, cisgender people will purchase it to make fun of her and our community,” the petition reads.

Irwin Mainway! Loved that Akroyd character
"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple..."
"The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia," notes Mishin, "and a bloody test it was."
Who financed the bloody test? "Wall Street," says Mishin.
In his book "The Naked Capitalist," W. Cleon Skousen exposes the unholy alliance of bankers and capitalists collectively defined as "Wall Street" by Mishin. Skousen verifies his findings through the writings of Dr. Carroll Quigley, a professor of history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University and mentor to Bill Clinton. In his opus, "Tragedy and Hope," Quigley deliberately reveals one of the worlds' best kept secrets: the existence of a gigantic leviathan of political and economic power poised to seize control of the planet.
The power complex says Quigley, has been — right from the start — controlling Marxist Communist, anarchist and Socialist groups and their destructive front groups such as LGBT, illegal aliens, 'greens,' etc:
"...the power that...Left-wingers exercised was never their own power or communist power but...the power of the international financial coterie." (p. 954, Tragedy and Hope)
Why did Quigley expose the existence of the global financial coterie? Because he says, it is now too late for the little people to turn the tide. He urges them to not fight the noose which is already around their necks, for they will only hang themselves.
. "On the other hand, those who go along with the immense pressure which is beginning to be felt by all humanity will eventually find themselves in a man-made millennium of peace and prosperity." (The Naked Capitalist, Skousen, pp. 4-6)

'Elite' transnational progressive Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary-General of the UN and former Chancellor of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica speaks of the fate that will befall the politically incorrect:
"...all those who hold contrary beliefs" to politically correct thought favored for the "next phase of evolution" will "disappear." A hellish fate awaits all who resist political and spiritual globalization, "..those who criticize the UN are anti-evolutionary, blind, self-serving people. Their souls will be parked in a special corral of the universe for having been retarding forces, true aberrations in the evolution and ascent of humanity." (False Dawn, Lee Penn, p. 133)
In other words, the 'chosen ones' are evolving into gods and hell awaits all 'selfish' ones who stand in the way. (Genesis 31-7)
The lessons learned from the Russian experiment said Mishin,
"were taken and used properly to prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters."
Among lessons learned and implemented here,
"First the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education..." then said Mishin, "their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of (them) were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the 'winning' side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another."
Mishin concludes,
"The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker." (American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper, Stanislav Mishin, Pravda.Ru)
They got the left to buy into their agenda. It isn't just them, but the power of the whole left.
I just posted the question, how did the gays get so powerful? My friend said “swallowing semen.”
It’s not hard to make your own Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume.
It wouldn’t take too much creativity to create one. Get an extra big white bathing suit, a ribbon, a wig and high heels and voila - Bruce Jenner.
intant kitsch collector’s item?
The abnormal nazis win.
what would be funny is a call me caitlin flash mob dance.
it’s time to bring funny back.
we should all get in caitlin costumes, go the pharmacy and ask for what kind of birth control they would recommend.
then ask for a dozen transgender condoms.
what? no transgender condoms? that’s transphobic!!
lol
I hate apologists!!! Say what you believe and stop being sorry for it!
The “retailer” could have used the publicity to stand their ground and gain marketshare from the mass of Trump supporters.
Instead they caved to a couple of “offended” liberals.
So weak and stupid they.
Capitalism. Someone else will fill the hole.
If there is a market for something, somebody will fill it.
Who is number one in fast food??? I believe its Chic-fil-a.
Well, I sure am sick of these people.
I decided to let a few people know exactly how I felt the other day.
I said something like, “How dare anyone tell me that I cannot believe what God tells me. God is clear about homosexuality and if they have an argument about that, take it up with God.” As far as the “trans” thing goes, same thing. God made them male and female. He didn’t mess up. He knows what He’s doing.
Another FAGWA.
Halloween is a freak show. It would have fit in perfectly.
It’s okay to dress up like a girl, unless you want to dress up like a girl.
Got it.
I remember all the outrage over Bill Maher’s tacky Steve Irwin costume. Oh, wait.......
