"It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year."

Can't really get all exercised about this one.

I'm the first one who rails against jokes where the only punch line is that someone is transgender.

But when you become a celebrity, people are going to dress as you. Some will be satirical, some will admire you, but it's a reality of being a celebrity.
