This math can't be right. 330,000,000 * .03 <> 2400. Looks more like 1 in 9.9 mil.
Am I wrong here?
I tried to explain to her that Target's position says nothing about defining trans-gender. I said anyone can claim they self-identify as whatever. Having cracked the door to the restrooms open, both literally and figuratively, Target doesn't dare discriminate. Anyone can claim their gender identification, or their intent to transform. Who is Target to discriminate against the tranny who hasn't had the surgery yet? Or the hormones aren't quite working as well for? Or even the tranny that can't afford to replace his or her wardrobe just yet with clothing more appropriate to their selected gender? They can't. So literally anyone can claim whatever they want, no matter where they are on their journey, or if they even really are "transforming." It is an open invitation to perverts with a ready-made excuse/justification.
As we've noted here, perverts and freaks will take advantage of this. It is not if, it is only a matter of when and how badly it goes. The sad thing is, somewhere out there right now is some nice innocent person who will become a victim thanks in no small part to Target's corporate decision. This makes them accessories and slam-dunk legally liable for creating the environment for the attack, heck even aiding and abetting the pervert. They (Target) are completely exposed (pun intended) to civil damages including tremendous punitive damages. Depending on where this ultimately happens, an enterprising and aspiring AG might just go after Target's board with criminal charges as accessories. This could quite literally wipe them out.

JC Penny’s stock was uup around 89 at its highest, before they put the two gay men with their fake child on the cover and ran a whole story line around the sodomite poofers.
Penny’s stock finally bottomed out, after they shoved Ellen down our throats. It’s sells today for about $9.
Instead of pro transgender call them: Pro freaks, Pro mental cases, Pro democrats
Social Justice Warrior (SJW)Social justice warriors believe in an extreme left-wing ideology that combines feminism, progressivism, and political correctness into a totalitarian system that attempts to censor speech and promote fringe lifestyles while actively discriminating against men, particularly white men. They are the internet activist arm of Western progressivism that acts as a vigilante group to ensure compliance and homogeny of far left thought.The true definition of SJW is up for debate, but most generally it has become a catch-all term that describes feminists and liberals who actively try to solve the perceived social injustices of modern society by organizing in online communities to disseminate propaganda, censor speech, and punish individuals by getting them terminated from their employment. They have also been successful at positioning themselves in the upper echelons of universities, media organizations, and tech companies.
SJW’s elevate groups that they believe have received the least amount of “privilege” in the past, and then use internet activism in the form of mobs and community purges to target those who are determined to have greater amounts of privilege. The idea of privilege is so essential to SJW ideology that a common debate tactic they use is to say “check your privilege,” which roughly translates to, “you must immediately halt or change your speech because your ancestors may or may not have done bad things to women or minority races.”
You are so right! It's only a matter of time until some transgender pervert attacks a little girl in one of Targets restrooms. The victim and her family will become the new owners of Target.
There are gropey aggressive lesbians.
That they are outside your personal range of experience does not cause them to cease to exist.
Go to any major metropolitan area and leaf through the restraining orders that have been issued.
Also field and stream stores are Dicks. They seem to be the way Dicks want to sell black rifles now, new name and hey this place is pro 2nd! Some of us aren’t fooled. And the Field and stream near us looks like it was stocked by someone who thinks they know what gunners want.
That could very well be.

What they said.
Are you sure that Target’s transgender policy is the cause of the stock decline? I ask because during that same time period Walmart is down 2.56%, Kohl’s is down 19%, Sears/Kmart is down 23.32%, and Macy’s is down 36.65%.
Aren’t all retail sales outlets having a rough time right now? I’m wondering just how much of this is due to the position that the store is taking on transgender bathroom access? Seems a bit early for the stock to be showing the effects of the boycott. I would like it to be so, but I’m thinking that there are other specific factors at play here.
The nearest Target is 1 hr away so a 2 hr drive, so not likely to shop there. Nor would I pay the higher prices over Walmart’s cheap same Chinese goods which is 22 miles round trip. If I wanted to pay higher prices on cheap Chinese goods I’d shop the Navy Exchange 24 miles round trip. I don’t eat at Mc’d’s either or Paneras. Your wallet is your only true way to boycott these offensive businesses that are catering to 2% of the population.

Hmph. Somehow I missed that. I did note that they no longer carry handguns.
WE have not graced the door of Dicks since they tried to pull a bait and switch on us at the register over some shotgun shells. I raised so much sand at the register they had to give us the deal but we never went back and shortly after that they screwed everyone over with the AR fiasco. Dick’s sucks.

The carbine was also a Dick’s exclusive, and Troy’s first complete rifle. But, following the Sandy Hook shooting, Dick’s has announced a suspension of all “modern sporting rifles” sales. This means the Troy Carbine.
While many assumed this suspension was going to be temporary, Dick’s has sent out notices to customers who placed back orders informing them that “Our records indicate you have placed an order for a Troy Carbine. At this time, we are unable to fulfill orders of this item. Your credit card will automatically be credited for the full purchase price or, if you paid by check, cash or debit, your refund check is enclosed.
Paging JC Penny.
Let these guys know that they cannot ignore Christians with impunity.
I have a Remington Nylon 66 and a Ruger single six revolver my wife bought for me at Montgomery Wards, probably 35+ years ago.
Think about it. Guns in the sporting goods department of your family department store. How much common sense has declined in our society.
