" Target Corp. made it clear Tuesday that transgender people who visit its stores are welcome to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.
The statement by the Minneapolis-based retailer comes amid debates in many state legislatures over restricting public restroom use to the sex listed on a person’s birth certificate.
While many of those conversations have centered around restrooms in public schools and government buildings, Target appears to be one of the first big-box retailers to take a proactive stance in declaring its position on the matter when it comes to its own restrooms.
While they may not be technically public, restrooms in stores are often the most easily accessible and widely available options outside of people’s homes and workplaces.
Target’s position also extends to its fitting rooms.
“Inclusivity is a core belief at Target,” the company said in a statement on its corporate website. “It’s something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.”

The bathroom that suits me best is the Employee’s bathroom. I can identify with them.
Better yet, I may identify with the ladies changing rooms and take a big dump in there.
Are you a lumberjack? Are you OK?
We finally got a Target down here some years ago, I may have stepped foot in it once. This won’t make me feel anymore inclined to do so. The once I went, it seemed even seedier and bereft and bare-shelved than even Walmart.
Note to parents: Reporting a man hanging around in the women’s restrooms at Target is a hate crime. You may be asked to leave the premises if you see it and say anything about it.
Note to perverts: Head to Target. It’s open season!
OK, guys, one way to stop this crap cold is for groups of us to start “identifying” as women and crowding the ladies rooms. The women customers will raise hell about it and the stupid policy will go away. There just have to be enough of us doing it often enough to get their attention. One or two per store won’t cut it.
Good organizers, step forward; I’ll sign up!
if everybody who was offended by this stopped shopping there, they’d be belly up by next quarter.
I’m waiting to see how they handle the first adverse incident that results from this policy.
This thing is going to spead until it’s almost unavoidable, I think that ‘s the intent. At the same time, Christianity is being driven to the margins, before the day it goes underground. I believe these things are all of a piece.
Apparently I am “evolving”
does this scarf make my ass look big ?
I disagree with those who say this will negatively impact earnings. why I remember just a few years ago how PC Penney embraced the gay agenda and look how their sales rocketed.......oh yeah, that’s right, they flushed the company down the crapper.
But it's even worse than that. The dude doesn't even have to be in a dress. It could be any man who at that moment decides for whatever reason to enter a women's rest room.
And whatever that reason is, it will not be a good one.
This is not just uncomfortable, it's downright scary. If my little niece enters a women's rest room, and a man soon follows her, I (a man) would be in there PDQ, carrying something heavy. No way would that turn out good.
Their core constituency must be men who think they are women or who claim that’s why they are in the women’s bathrooms
No longer in any setting is it safe to send your kids to the bathroom alone at any age
Seems Target, the second largest BIG box retailer when provoked to take aim at some political, commonsense-issue misses the target every time.
I s’pose they want to become the third largest BIG box retailer for some reason only a liberal could figure.
“Make bathrooms single stall”
There are plenty of one person at a time restrooms, I’ve seen many. IMO this is one majorly overblown issue to do nothing more than push an agenda. Of course one person at a time restrooms would solve the problem (not that there is one) and “they” aren’t going to have any of that.....shoots down there agenda AND makes too much sense.
Warning!
As you leave the USA, don’t look back, you may turn into a pillar of salt.
I stopped years ago, I hate that store
Just what I needed, yet another excuse to boycott this antigun unionized liberal purveyor of red plastic crap.
