The rights of transgender individuals have been in the news in a big way lately and one of the nation's largest retailers is now weighing in.
In a post on its website Tuesday, Target reiterated an existing policy: that transgender employees and customers are welcome to use the bathroom or fitting room that corresponds with their gender identity.
The post also expressed support for federal legislation protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
"Inclusivity is a core belief at Target," the post said. "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 chain said it spoke out now given the ongoing national debate over LGBT rights, particularly when it comes to bathrooms.
A recent North Carolina law mandating people use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender on their birth certificates sparked some major backlash. And ESPN just fired Curt Schilling over an anti-transgender Facebook post.

I ask everyone to go to Target.
1. Grab a cart and fill it up.
2. Ask a Target employee for assistance finding something.
3. Let the cashier ring up the sale.
4. State, “Oh no! I left my wallet/purse in the car!”
5. As you walk out leave a note on the counter that you disapprove of their restroom policy.
6. Don’t go back (until you want to do it again).
This will tie up their employees with assisting you, ringing you up and restocking the items.
‘Inclusive’ Target forces all to wear red polos and clock in on time, those fascists.
As you said so eloquently, "inclusion" is simply a faux virtue signal, an abstraction that dissolves any moral boundaries.
I don’t understand your post.
not exactly
Trump doesn’t want to build new bathrooms for perverts
He doesn’t want to deal with this on the federal level
Cruz wants to create the Federal Bureau of Potties with their own Potty Pecker Police Force that goes from stall to stall looking for peckers in the wrong rest room.
Why does this even need to be a presidential issues? Don’t we have enough to deal with?
We have a Target about an hour away. I’ve been there once. It’s an overpriced WalMart. No skin off my nose.
Et Tu, Target??
It’s win-win for Target. They get to parade their liberal bone fides, and they discourage casual use of their bathrooms. I’m sure stores spend a lot of effort ($$) stocking, cleaning and maintaining their bathrooms. The workload just decreased 50% or more, as many of us will stop using public restrooms at such places.
I wonder what their position is if I identify as a lesbian? The cool thing is I can still dress like a guy, except I have to were flannel, but can I still use the women’s restroom with the knowledge that, as a lesbian, I prefer sexual relations with other women?
the bottom line is money....
just don't shop there....if someone is registered there for a wedding or baby shower, just get something else...
Slouching toward the fundamental transformation of America.
This isnt just about trans. This is the demoralization of our society.
Another commie goal achieved.

Exactly.
I quit shopping at Target when they chased the Salvation Army bellringers away. May go back and cause disruption without buying anything, just to do something.
