Halloween retailer Spirit Halloween, which previously defended its decision to sell a costume inspired by Bruce Jenner’s gender transition, caved to pressure from LGBT groups, and pulled the costume from its website Wednesday.
The “Call Me Caitlyn Unisex Adult Costume,” which satirizes the former Olympian’s likeness, as seen on the cover of the July issue of Vanity Fair, sparked outrage online Tuesday, with Twitter users and LGBT advocates describing it as “transphobic.”
Some of those upset by the costume also made violent threats toward anyone considering going as the transgender TV star.

Really! !! When did gays ever needed a holiday to dress up in costume? ?
Everyone should excercise their right to ignore this nonsense.
Anyone else see where this is going?
I guess I'll have to make my own this year,as it will be the most scary of all!
This company has no balls. Oh I am sorry Jenner has no balls. Get over it LGBTSTGBNF community no cares. Joe if you need one I got an extra picture of Rosie O'Donnel they work well. I have not seen a bat flying around my house in days and they are blind.
What a bunch of manipulative little whining pansies. That is a funny topical costume. Sigh, I guess it's Pirate again this year...
Just get a womans wig and shave your adams apple.
Just put on a woman's dress, and carry a jar with a couple of golf balls in it.
"It" will be charged with manslaughter in the traffic accident soon.
When "it" gets to prison, "she" will become someone's "Girlfriend"!
Kill one of God's creatures and try to hide behind a sex-change....and still get caught - that's KARMA!
Not KARMA CHAMELEON!
which prison will it go to?
"It" will be put on the show, "Orange is the new Black", and be a celebrity in prison.
And Rowdy Roddy Piper no less.How disrespectful can a publication get?
