Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Costume Sparks Internet Outrage: ‘Disgraceful,’ ‘Transphobic’

I think it's lovely. I can't understand why people are upset.



"Halloween costume depicting former Olympian and reality TV personality Caitlyn Jenner has sparked outrage on social media, with many people expressing their distaste for the offering.

A unisex costume being offered by Anytime Costumes 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 giving some thought to dressing like this when I go Trick or Treating this year. I must ask though: will my full beard add or detract from the effect?

You'd have to ask the Worm that. He'd know better. 

Though as far as the costume goes, what does anyone expect? It's tacky. Most costumes for adults are tacky. It's traditional.

Tacky, EC? I find your aesthetic evaluation to be quite lacking. That outfit transcends mere costume to ethereal work of art.

I think it's funny. Bruce Jenner has mental issues and deserves some pity, perhaps, but the whole slinky, sexy costume thing is laughable.

Interesting how he still wears his "man clothes" on the golf course, though.

He should check out Liz Golf - they have some nice ensembles for the lady who loves the links.

He's (she's, if we are to indulge) already on record saying (s)he can take the jokes. So perhaps the hysterical types ought to chill out.

Oh, who am I kidding? Them? Chill out? They have an agenda to push!

Oh for the love of Pete!!!!!!  Jenner started all this because he went public with his trans ordeal.

Oh for the love of Pete!!!!!!  Jenner started all this because he went public with his trans ordeal.

And he did it because he needed to be the center of attention.

He should be loving this.
