Amazon pulls ‘Lady Boy Drag’ costume after backlash
The Halloween outfit drew criticism for being insensitive. The company has since removed it from its website.
It seems like every Halloween season, there are a number of inappropriate, tasteless or downright offensive costumes that retailers later remove from their websites.

A short sequin dress in silver with spaghetti straps. The back of the dress features a half elasticated waistline to create a tailored appearance when wearing.
