Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume is a dreadful idea
Caitlyn Jenner costumes will go on sale at a US retail chain in time for Halloween this year.
Spirit Halloween plans to sell the costume at its pop-up stores in New York City.
‘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,’ Trisha Lombardo, the company’s head of PR and marketing, told the New York Daily News.
Lombardo added that the company would not be able to reveal any details about the costume until it goes on sale in four to six weeks, and brushed off accusations that it is insensitive and inappropriate.
‘At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes. We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that,’ she wrote in a statement to the Huffington Post.
But trans advocates have expressed concern.
‘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 villains and monsters,’ said Vincent Villano, director of communications at the National Center for Transgender Equality.
