340,000 (now 422,144) Pledge to Boycott Target over Transgender Bathroom Policy
Fox News ^ | April 24, 2016

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:14:56 PM PDT by reaganaut1

More than 340,000 have signed a pledge to stop shopping at Target, in response to the corporation’s announcement this week that transgender employees and customers will be allowed to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

“This means a man can simply say he ‘feels like a woman today’ and enter the women's restroom... even if young girls or women are already in there,” stated the American Family Association, which started the petition.

Target on Tuesday became the first giant retailer to weigh in on an issue at the center of a heated national debate.

The announcement came just after North Carolina passed a law requiring people to use bathrooms in public facilities that correspond with their gender at birth.

“#BoycottTarget has resonated with Americans,” wrote AFA president Tim Wildmon.

To equate it to murder also becomes a palpable overreaction. I think this is one way liberals have sussed out the number of conservatives.

We need a new game that is factored through churches, not through Caesar.

I see the problem thusly: When undetectable trannies were in the restroom, no one noticed or cared. I myself have never seen the elusive trannie in public anywhere (that I know of). The problem is that Target has loudly and publicly declared open season on women and children to perverts, pedophiles and rapists to appease a super small segment of society, that frankly, I may never see in my lifetime. Well done, Target! Well done!

Now that they have rescinded their idiotic order, I still will not go back to that store. I’m not spending one dime of my money on a company with retards in control. (no offense to retards).

It's obvious that you have never been to a David Bowie concert. Back in my heathen days, the woman's bathroom were loaded with them.

Speaking of gender ...

I moved back to Iowa in the very early '80's after my naval enlistment was up. We were going through the "Equal Rights Amendment" at the time.

I found a copy of it and read it. Then read it again.

The entire thing was a circular argument that circled around the word 'gender'. The whole thing. So I looked it up.

Sex is the physical male/female. Gender is much stickier. It's masculine/feminine or how we FEEL about our sexuality.

BEWARE THE WORD GENDER!

“This means a man can simply say he ‘feels like a woman today’ and enter the women's restroom... even if young girls or women are already in there,”

That's exactly what it means.

It’s time to put it to these corporate weasels.

Didn’t Target some years back prohibit their employees from saying

“Merry Christmas”?

someone decided to elevate this to the state...

Nope. That's not how it happened.

The mayor of Charlotte, NC, Jennifer Roberts, is a super liberal. She and her buddy (a registered sex offender, by the way) decided to push this and get an ordinance passed to allow men into ladies rooms and showers.

Roberts was told not to do it by the governor but she did anyway. Now she claims she had no idea it would be a problem. Dumb liberal.

Coeme on, people, can’t we all just get along?

So a handful of mentally defective guys want to whip out and shake their wicks at pre-teen girls and scar them for life, making Target rest rooms a mecca for burgeoning crowds of perverts.

Is it really so bad?

No, no David Bowie concerts. I have seen AC/DC 3 times though. No trannies there.

They might be sued but it will because the trans left the toilet seats up. It is already a crime in most households, causing most fights between normal male/female couples.

How about seeing if it actually happens. Firms like this have other means of defending themselves from openly antisocial behavior and will do it, just like Whole Foods ruthlessly sued the “gay pastor” who faked his cake.

And the push back had to be something that claimed even more for the state than to specifically pre-empt such an ordinance putting things back to the status quo?

This sounds like a “king of the hill” game. They let themselves get baited into a game of who can “virtue signal” the brightest.

I have not seen any information showing Target has recanted.

I saw a tweet that they had. I’ll go back and see if I can find it. But you’re right, today, I’m not seeing it anymore.
