Costume company Spirit Halloween under fire after costume gets torn to shreds on social media
Costume company Spirit Halloween is facing serious backlash after offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume in time for Halloween.
The costume recreates Jenner’s look when she debuted as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair in June, complete with shorts, a padded top, a wig, and a sash that reads, “Call Me Caitlyn.”
Twitter blew with expressions of anger about the costume, with some calling it “disgraceful,” “hurtful,” and “transphobic.”

I'm confused. What does this have anything to do with transphobic?
It's simply mocking a 'celebrity'

In the same way someone might dress up with a big booty and be Kim K, or big boob and blonde wig and be Dolly Parton.

It was a slow day, and the internet had to be offended by something, so it chose this.

Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for someone to get "outraged" over the movie Suicide Squad.

Then again, it was announced months ago and there's been a steady stream of news about it; maybe the PC police did their research for once and found out it's based on a comic that's been around since the late 50's and it's about a team of supervillains that goes on suicide missions.

Still, I have a feeling that someone on Tumblr is going to lose their shit over the title and if it's a slow news day, the media is going to fixate on that.

“Call Me Caitlyn” is funny.

This is “disgraceful”.

Thats right. If we are suppose to treat transexuals as regular people - why can't we satirize their celebraties ? To object is to suggest they are different.

I think its a funny costume, and I am very much a supporter of the LGBT crowd. Some people will be offended by anything *shrug*
