I'm still boycotting Target over the way they dumped the Salvation Army bell ringers years ago.
The RULE is: NEVER, EVER ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO ENTER A BATHROOM WITHOUT YOU.
That is the only solution.
The whole transgender issue is moot....if you are a man, in a mens restroom....any transgender man will have to use a stall....who cares....Likewise, in a woman’s restroom....everybody uses a private stall....and, by the way...if your little daughter is using a restroom and you are not FULLY in charge....you are missing the boat.
Haven’t shopped there in years. Don’t plan to go back.
