Fans have taken to social media to express outrage over a Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume modeled after her Vanity Fair cover.
The costume is being sold by popular Halloween store, Sprit Halloween, and now there’s a petition for the company to have the costume removed. The costume is also available at other wholesale outlets.
Spirit’s description of the costume reads:
“You probably won’t break any Twitter records when you wear this outfit like Caitlyn did when she first made her account, but you’ll be sure to get a few laughs out of your friends and the other guests at the get together.”
People are outraged and have begun to demand stores remove the costume from their shelves.
Caitlyn Jenner costume ? Really ? How more insulting, rude and disrespectful can this get? #caitlynjenner #caitlinjennercostume

@SpiritHalloween making a costume out of Caitlyn Jenner and "tranny granny" is disgusting and mean-spirited. You've lost my business.

Sprit Halloween spokeswoman Trisha Lombardo said last week Jenner “has proven to be the most important real-life superhero of the year,” before adding, “Spirit Halloween is proud to carry the costume that celebrates her.”
How do you feel about the costume? Do you find it offensive?
