The retailer Spirit Halloween plans to sell a Caitlyn Jenner costume at its pop-up stores in New York City this year, according to the New York Daily News. 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 Daily News. She offered no further details about the item, which will go on sale within the next four to six weeks. A company representative was not immediately available to comment further on the problematic nature of such a costume, but Vincent Villano of the National Center for Transgender Equality expressed his concerns. "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," he said in a statement to The Huffington Post Friday.
