Target allows men to use the same restrooms as ten-year-old girls and has made it clear that it would prefer law-abiding citizens to enter its stores unarmed.
On April 20, Breitbart News reported that Target released a statement in which they equated opening girls restrooms to men as part of equality. The statement said, Inclusivity is a core belief at Target. Its 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.

None of the Target stores around here display the legally required signage. So when I do shop there, not often, I carry regardless.

Same here in Illinois. Several national chains that claim to be gun free have no signage so I go ahead and carry.
I’m in IL as well. Panera, Starbucks, Target, all the usual corporate hoplophobes, none of them display the required signage. So I ignore the pronouncements.
Can’t remember the last time I was in a Starbucks, their coffee sucks. We don’t buy bread, we bake our own, Target we maybe go to 3 times a year.
Feh on the lot of them.

If you shop at Target make sure you pay in cash for your own protection.
BTW, I recall when Target sold ammunition.
prefer law-abiding citizens to enter its stores unarmed.
In Texas a knife with a blade under 6 inches is not considered a weapon. But one could do some severe damage with a non-weapon.
I wish I could threaten a boycott but I’ve been boycotting them for years after they joined the war on Christmas.
Good to see that they failed in Canada. Hopefully they will go the way of Kmart. It’s not like some other corp wouldn’t step right up into the vacuum.
"Bruce" 'em.
Just obey NCIS Agent Gibbs’ 11 th LAW. ALWAYS Carry A Knife.
The ones who have had the addadicktome? They'd be in the men's room, wouldn't they?
750,000 or so other signers to the https://www.afa.net/action-alerts/sign-the-boycott-target-pledge/
The article at AFA is well reasoned.

My letter below attempts to inject a type of thoughtful discussion into this issue I have not heard. However, I think it is really a pathetic effort in light of the Breitbart article linked to below which discusses the intent of discussions. I believe we have been here before.
In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Removal followed a two year campaign Newsweek described as ongoing disruptive, chaotic attacks on psychiatrists and physiologists. Yet throughout these disruptive attacks, no academic papers arose at conferences refuting any research previously done. Eventually onslaughts forced sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses for a third of APAs 17,000 plus membership to approve removal. Now states have laws against employing the highly successful therapies dealing with this mental disorder.
Bathroom Wars Goal: Humiliate the American Normal Majority
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/04/23/bathroom-wars-humiliate-normal-majority/
Representations about men entering womens bathrooms and lockers rooms are asymmetrical. Points questioning the inclusivity of transgenderism are considered abhorrent. This approach results in a random walk through reflective life. When comforting lights from popular expressions drive decisions, no opportunity remains to consider insights such that as from John Hopkins.
Their Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit conducted candidates through a lengthy preparation process resulting in gender reassignment surgery. Study caused them to question benefits and they eliminated the practice in 1979. Dr. Paul R. McHugh says, that transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment .and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder .These policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.
Women are terribly uncomfortable with a mercurial revelation that they believe violates their inherent natural right to feel safe and private in their persons. Considering John Hopkins experience with reassignment surgery, why shouldnt their concerns be superior when weighed against an initiative unproven to benefit and possibly enabling a mental hardship?

I’m thinking of selling Target short, or buying some puts. I hope people really will boycott Target. Lets send them a message - boycott them and let’s make some money in the process. May 18th is when they report their quarterly earnings.

As I understand it, Target has temporarily dropped the policy of allowing male weirdos into the ladies’ rooms while they try to come up with a more suitable transgender combination.
or ACCOMODATION — excuse me.
If you really want to hurt target, accompany your wife to your local store and take your 225 pound, pants wearing, bearded, hetero-normative self into the Women’s Room and hang out in there reading the Sports section of your local paper. If anybody asks why you are there, tell them that you are comfortable in the Women’s Room. Some of them have couches, or so I have heard.
Just let them try and throw you out.
Our Applebee’s closed years ago......................
Just called our Target in Hilo, Hawaii. They will investigate a man going into the ladies bathroom. But as a policy, they allow guys dressed as girls in.
Well if they’re going to use a pretext to molest our children I’m going to use a pretext to end the molestation.
