Target’s Stock Down 5 Percent, Brand Damaged, by Public Rebuke to Pro-Transgender Bathroom Rules
Breitbart.com ^ | April 29, 2016 | by Neil Munro

Target’s stock price and its favorability among shoppers are crashing as the public rebukes the retail giant for ignoring their vigorous protest against mixed-sex changing rooms and bathrooms.

The company’s stock was two cents shy of $84 on August 19, when it revealed it would not allow shoppers to use single-sex bathrooms or changing rooms. Instead, all rooms were opened up to anyone claiming to be of either sex. As of 4.00 p.m. Friday, the stock had dropped almost $4.50, down to $79.50.

That’s a huge loss of 5 percent in stock value, costing shareholders roughly $2.5 billion in company value.

In between those two dates, more than one million people had signed a boycott petition sponsored by the American Family Association. Public opinion also shifted strongly in favor of single-sex bathrooms.

The damage to Target’s favorability is also being tracked by YouGov’s BrandIndex service.

Lets’ not forget the far leftists at Barnes and Noble who also claim they want weirdos in any of the toilets.

Idiots. Liberal upper income customers go to Nordstrom’s. And Target ain’t even close to competing with Nordstrom’s in merchandising or customer service.

Has corporate given the stores any sort of local option on this? Sign or not, it may be a done deal all all of them.

I have seen various ways of turning the tranny rules to my advantage because after all, if a tranny can call upon Target employees to make him/her feel comfortable, then I can too.

But in the end, it doesn’t matter because it is going to be highly unlikely that I will ever go into a Target again, ever.

It is never a good idea to piss off millions of customers to cater to a tiny minority of perverts.

They need a good punch in the snout for being such politically correct social justice warrior snobs. Hopefully there will be a ripple effect throughout the country as these sjw weirdos feel the wrath of the people. Hollywood has it coming too.

B-b-b-but Target is only holding solidarity with Bruce Springsteen (a man who hasn’t used a public restroom in 35 years).

who was the stupid dork at Target that thought this would be a great idea and a great way to get publicity for their family shopping experience?

“Target’s policy does not require these Transwomen to have had sex change surgery. Nor does it require them to wear a dress. Nor cosmetic enhacement, or heels or hair style or anything. The only requirement is no requirement other than saying “I feel like a woman”. It could be a man in wife beater, jeans, nikes, and crew cut.
IOW, a man with all of his equipment, all of his testosterone, all of his sperm, and all of his strength.”

If they are wearing a dress or not, or if they have makeup or not, some of them are still attracted to women. I don’t know if the ones that get closest are the least likely to still dig women or not. It kind of makes sense, but who the hell knows.

Jenner dresses the game but insists on keeping his male equipment and says his sexual attractions are on women.

That’s what I’m saying. Who cares if he is cut, he’s still a man who digs women, right? He’s not a lesbian, right?

The main battle against this is one to one confrontation. If you see a whatever you call it in the bathroom, be loud and vocal. My gym adopted the transgender rule for the locker room, and I am actually hoping one of them shows up. I am going to scream-” you have a penis and balls! Man in the locker room! “
Make a big huge scene, embarrass them so they will not come back.

If his parts are gone and he he’s had a female part simulated by some doc , then he’s not easily going to commit an invasive rape.

Why should women have to put up with a man in their bathroom that is still into them? They have to be comfortable with that?

They aren’t putting any new signs up. Any man who wants to can go in women’s restrooms and dressing rooms at Target.

I think my post at #37 pretty well says they shouldn’t be there. However, if some city is going to insist on such a stupid law, at least require a “real trans” who has had his parts cut off and a vejay created. Require a physically verifiable real trans.

“Macy’s is run by homos and lesbos.”

Didn’t they recently close a lot of stores?
