"Death to America!"

The question of who is being made to feel comfortable and welcome at Target, and who isn’t, should be one of the top questions in your mind before you choose to spend your money in their stores. This week, a man took his six-yeard to Target to discuss how the bathroom policy works out practically, rather than just find out from blogs or biased cable news stations calling the whole thing a “gay rights” issue, which doesn’t even make sense. His story went viral on Facebook, and already has over 22,000 shares and 44,000 reactions.
You mean by the massive number of illegals and Muslims the left is bringing in? We're talking about bathrooms while the rapeway express is importing these people by the thousands.

Single use restrooms are actually more dangerous for women. Multi-use bathrooms, especially if well trafficked are safer ... more eyes and ears on the scene if something were to go wrong.
People are not understanding the issue here. Public restrooms are inherently unsafe “dead end” corridors for women, out of sight of passers-by. Some are more safe than others (see above) but all are and HAVE ALWAYS BEEN potential safety problems. Any woman will tell you this. No sign on the door is going to make you safer inside and IT NEVER DID.
The problem is not trans-gendered people ... they are such a small number as to be not an issue.
The problem is non transgendered males who may take advantage of these new rules ... but really such men could always use deceit or stealth to gain access to women’s restrooms and changing rooms.
Single use restrooms are less safe for women and girls.
Well said. The issues here are getting convoluted away from the real dangers ... which have always existed in public restrooms.
I fully understand your point, but multiple-use bathrooms also have this problem when there aren't others in there with you (not infrequent). There are some technical things you could do to protect women and girls in this context, but I don't disagree. As I said, they have them in Europe, so might be interesting to see what their experience is in this regard.
Ultimately, this is another problem created by pandering to a small group of people in order to make political points. There are other solutions that would preserve the dignity of everyone and not lead to political confrontation. You could just have the traditional women's and men's bathrooms, and then have single use bathrooms for those who don't want the public bathrooms or who are part of the ‘other’ categories. To me, I would think there would be less stigma involved in using a single-use bathroom than walking into a woman's bathroom when you are a cross-dressing man. Unfortunately, from what I've read, it seems that they are doing the opposite (everyone uses the public multiple person bathrooms, and single use bathrooms are provided to those who have a problem with sharing a bathroom with those of the opposite gender).
Very true.
but really such men could always use deceit or stealth to gain access to women’s restrooms and changing rooms.
Yeah, instead of pretending to be a woman, you could pretend to be a janitor.

“Sounds like a good solution. Suddenly, the whole issue just goes away.”
It does until some lures a child into one of these rooms, locks the door, has his way with him/her, and then slips away.
Shame on Dad for messing with his little girl’s mind like that to make a point.
He could have simply gone and asked himself, or with her waiting a few feet away. And the family restroom option is the right one for Target to have had anyway. Dad really shouldn’t be sending a 6yo girl into a public restroom like that on her own or taking her into the men’s room with him.
And yes, I think the world has gone mad with all these wacko changes.
Or just make up some more crap about your life and service, you lyin' piece of dog doo.
This whole things is insane. We’ve had transgendered for 200 years. What did they do? Never heard a story of any problems. This is a total distraction to make republicans look bad.
The trick here is, when you have to go out in public and there’s a chance you will need to use a rest room, if you’re a man, do not wear a dress. It’s not really very complicated.
They sure do in my house!
Of course the LBGT won’t be happy. Normal folks must be made to comply and all.
Women don’t always wear dresses.
And let’s be honest here, there are women who don’t look very feminine ... it would be a gray area if you had to make a snap judgment.
You cannot tell sometimes by outward appearances if a person is a male or female. And who is going to check?
I see this whole issue as a minefield.
What is under attack is common decency and decorum in society, and that has been going on a long time.
