Breitbart Tech: A Caitlyn Jenner parody Halloween costume has been removed from Amazon following complaints from LGBT groups.
As reported on Wednesday, two LGBT organizations: Stonewall and the Beaumont Society, condemned the Halloween costume, which was based on Jenner’s career as an Olympic athlete in the 1970s, with the addition of a long-haired wig in parody of Jenner’s 2015 gender transition.
Before the costume’s removal, Beaumont Society president Jane Hamlin declared, “I am astonished that a transphobic costume mocking Caitlyn Jenner is being marketed in the way it is. It is completely tasteless.”
“The transgender community has been getting quite a battering in the media recently because we would like to have autonomy over our own identities. We have become accustomed to insensitive mockery, but had hoped that cisgender people had become tired of such stunts and realized that it is not funny,” Hamlin continued. “No-one chooses to be trans. It is the way we are born, it is who we are… I am disappointed that anyone would want to sell this, and hope that no-one will want to buy it.”
LGBT rights group Stonewall went one step further and claimed the costume “should be taken off the shelves.” more here
If the problem is it not nice to make fun of the Mentally Ill…
Nah!!
How many different parodies of PDJT do they offer?
All of them are in poor tastse and should be pulled as well.
Where do you put the dick?…..
Is the Bruce Jenner one still available?
If their skin was anything thinner, they would all be transparent!
Of course it is tasteless. A good Halloween costume is clever, and great Halloween costume is clever and tasteless.
I guess Somebody Pissed in their Wheaties.
They pulled the Mike Obama costume for the same reason.
Don’t they know how mockingly FUNNY they are?
Just buy grey sweats, and a little grey makeup: INSTANT #NPC!!!
Was the costume a Turbo Hydromatic 400 or a Super Encabulator 9000?
I keep some Bruce Jenner fluid in the garage, right next to the Bill Cosby In A Can. The Cosby stuff starts just about anything with a spark or a glow plug.
katlin needs a good pullin as in a drawing and quartering
cosboy needs a good dunkin as in a puddin poppin.

With all the NPC favorite phrases they “think” are talking points printed on the sweatshirts.
Gray sweatpants ~ $7, sweatshirt, same at Wal-Mart. Drymark a couple bucks, mask made from a paper plate with elastic attached…yep, great costume.
Now I wish I had a party to go to where people would understand it.
