00:00Halloween is right around the corner all right so let the creative pop culture inspired costumes
00:07start to pour in all over social media one costume already making huge buzz is Caitlyn
00:13Jenner's Vanity Fair cover all right so should you purchase the already infamous costume you'll
00:18get a white bustier with matching shorts a lovely tousled wig completed with a sash that reads call
00:24me Caitlyn okay so is this a slay because it's Halloween everything in pop culture is fair game
00:29we're sure we'll see plenty of individuals dressed up in Rihanna's yellow gown from the Met and all
00:35other sorts of probably oranges the new black cookie lion so on so forth or shade even though
00:41the costume may be creative it can become a little bit transphobic or insensitive all right so on the
00:47count of three one two three slayed or shade so you have shade shade y'all are just so cohesive
00:54Dean I'll start with you why is this shade you know what it's so funny because we always throw
00:58shade at people who wear like the blackface for Halloween right you know what I mean and it's like
01:04I think it's so transphobic we can't have make fun of someone who's chosen this lifestyle it's just
01:11wrong Sean yeah totally and you know the point of Halloween a lot of times is is to poke fun at right
01:17and like this as we've noticed or learned really over the last six months with Caitlyn Jenner it's like
01:23being trans is not something that we should be making fun of it's not something that we need
01:28to you know poke fun at it's not funny it's real right and like to do this and make it a Hall of
01:33Feet Ween outfit is only further stigmatizes the fact that you know people think that it's crazy or
01:39different or bizarre or like a costume and it's not it's how these people truly feel inside
01:44Danielle too soon too soon if everybody's just for people who are coming to understand
01:53what transgender means right now it's way too soon to be joking around like you guys said poking fun
02:00and and it's it's an unchangeable part of Caitlyn's life it is who she is and I think Halloween is
02:08really fun and and it is about having a laugh at yourself but there's a difference between poking
02:15fun at and making fun of and I think it's too soon it's too mean people don't understand enough
02:23everybody's still in kind of a learning process I think that's a very very good point before we move
02:26on to our last topic let's let's check in with our Facebook family out there Charlene in Sanford says
02:32everything is fair game for Halloween she's not exempt it's all in fun it doesn't mean you're
02:37homophobic okay thank you for chiming in Charlene but I agree you have to we wouldn't want someone
02:42making fun of us because we're black hence the blackface you know so I think there's a sensitivity
02:46there you can't you can't you know slap the hand of one and not the other that's my own personal
02:51if I may Charlene there's even a little confusion there in thinking that the issue with Caitlyn Jenner
02:56would be homophobia it's not right it's a different lane Caitlyn is transgender it's an entirely
03:02different thing so when I say too soon like there's a little more education I think that
03:07needs to get out there and people wouldn't have that confusion yep
