" 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 persons 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 peoples homes and workplaces.
Targets position also extends to its fitting rooms.
Inclusivity is a core belief at Target, the company said in a statement on its corporate website. Its 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.

“Inclusivity”....
Yes,,lets include the open in your face perverts as legitimate members of society. Lets give them equal status as normal, non-perverted folks who consider their shameful weaknesses as something they dont like about themselves and try to actually avoid.
Yet ANOTHER good reason for not shopping at Target!
Most I know don’t follow this crap as much as I do on FR.so I found the need to send the link to all in by address book with the subject line,”Shop at Target,Got kids,Need 2 read.”
Hope all will do the same
Soooo...what would he be taking a piss into in this women's bathroom? A toilet in a stall? How would you see him? Unless Target has already retro-fitted their women's bathrooms with urinals.
This also shifts the burden of proof onto the police to determine a person was lying about their gender identity. Can you imagine the civil rights lawsuit against Target and the police if they try and claim this person is only pretending to be a woman?
Stupid management-it isn’t all that great a store anyway-Walmart is better...
The nearest Target is 3 counties and about 50 miles away-there isn’t a Target in this county, or the next two. I work in construction with a crew of guys-I’m not going into a public bathroom with trannies-I can see guys take a piss at work all the time...
They didnt earn the Gay C Penney name for nothing from that.
Happy to say I have not been in that store forever.
Just took a peek at their Facebook page. People are howling in protest.
I seldom shopped Target and when they kicked the Salvation Army bell ringers off their premises I never went inside their stores again. With Penny stores I was a fairly frequent shopper until they started overtly catering to the gay crowd. It was not because of the gays themselves, it was that the stores changed to a different atmosphere than I appreciated and over a year or two I found that I had completely dropped them from shopping considerations. It is the same with TV shows that insert, however subtly, their agendas of sexual orientation into previously acceptable entertainment.
Oh boy, I'd bet Target would change their tune real quick!
Well, dang. Target has their bathrooms by the front door that makes it a go to stop when out running errands. I will have to rethink that. We have male, female and unisex bathrooms there. Why couldn’t they invite them to use that extra one?
Target is caving to the hatemongers.
You are right. The initial ordinance was pushed by a liberal mayor and her activist buddy who is a registered sex offender. The intent was to irritate and cause problems for the Republican controlled NC state legislature. It backfired and numerous companies started boycotting the city.
Men dressed as women have been using women's bathrooms for years. The true cross dressers or transgendered or whatever they are called have never been a problem. Most women aren't even aware.
The problem is the perverts who want to use the law to push their agenda and the men who want to peek at women in the showers and locker room.
My choices here are either WalMart or Target. I’ve been shopping at Target because it seems that about 50% of walmart’s employees are from the ROP. Most will scan your pork products, but not all will and often their attitude is pretty crappy. Target was a welcome relief to all my senses.
Bummer. I guess I’ll just pay more at the grocery store for the things I usually get at Target.
Hey gender is fluid too, we are told.
He may have just felt like a woman that day. Or even just that part of the day. She may have been drunk and decided I am just going to use the mens bathroom, eff them.
How is anyone going to prove he or she didn’t?
There are plenty of stalls built with large gaps that allow a clear view. I try to avoid them, but they exist.
Yep! If I go into a Target with my wife and she needs to go potty I will identify as a transgender lesbian in order to protect her.
A real man would walk in there, piss all over the floor and leave. Just like what happens in every other public men's room.
That'd serve the feminists right. They said women were no different than men so it's time they dealt with urine soaked public restroom floors like we do.
You could always go into a Target and load up a shopping cart. Then leave it in an aisle with a note saying that you remembered their policy and choose not to make a purchase. They will have to use man-hours (or should I say person-hours?) to restock the items.
