Target says transgender people can use bathroom that aligns with their identity
StarTribune ^

Posted on 04/19/2016 6:35:00 PM PDT by matt04

Target Corp. made it clear that transgender people in its stores are welcome to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.

The statement Tuesday by the Minneapolis-based retailer comes amid debates in many state legislatures over restricting public restroom use to the sex listed on a person’s birth certificate.

While many of those conversations have centered around restrooms in public schools and government buildings, Target appears to be one of the first big-box retailers to take a proactive stance in declaring its position on the matter when it comes to its own restrooms.

While they may not be technically public, restrooms in stores are often the most easily accessible and widely available options outside of people’s homes and workplaces.

Target’s position also extends to its fitting rooms.

“Inclusivity is a core belief at Target,” the company said in a statement on its corporate website. “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.”

Molly Snyder, a Target spokeswoman, said it is not a new policy, but the retailer wanted to clarify its position given the questions it has received from both customers and employees amid the national debate. Executives sent e-mail to store leaders earlier this week to convey the message.

“It’s a restatement of a policy,” she said. “It’s just us being very overt in stating it.”

They keep stocking less and less products. Each time I say it’s going to be the last time. I did like their restrooms...but not anymore. I’ll pee outside. lol

Well, Target would have to have business to lose some.

Been there for small things (friend likes to shop there). Drop by Monday through about Friday night

It’s a ghost town. You’ll see maybe 15-30 customers.

But then, TPTB are killing the American economy wholesale.

No one says a transsexual has to put on female clothing. He can be in jeans, flannel shirt, and hiking boots. All he has to say is “I identify as a woman.”

“It’s simple...no trans-whatever will use my restroom at home, so I’ll just shop on line.”

Exactly, and we can wait for the FedEx or UPS truck to deliver. With this pervasive attitude on this issue, the bricks and mortar places will eventually go out of business, because there simply aren't enough queers to keep them afloat!

Holy Sierra, Batman.

I’m going to miss Target. They had such wonderful sourdough bread....

Creativecompliance doesn’t solve the problem, it facilitates the encroaching evil.

Agree with Target and Walmart having gone downhill. Tell me more about Wegmans please. I usually have positive things to say, other than being a bit pricey.

One of my favorite CC stories happened in FL. at the local McDonalds 2 perps went in early to rob the stire and the about 30 customers eating breakfast and drinking coffee, most were retired. Well one perp went to the front and the ither ordered the customers to give him all their money and valuables.

If I recalled 23 people drew guns on the holdup men and held them until the police arrived.

Yes, it’s way too pricey and they never have sales or specials (that I can see). Once they had a variety of food companies to choose from, now it’s all Wegman products - even down to ketchup! Vegetable/fruit dept. was once extraordinary now absolutely stinks. Reduction in the meat department - can’t even find a chicken breast on the bone. The prepared food was once good, now is lousy. Sushi has ranch dressing on it and I’m talking NJ - not the Midwest! The only departments that are still ok are the seafood and the int’l section.

Women are going to start accusing these pervs of something whether they do it or not.

Lawsuits following.

Should be interesting.

Transgenderism is a mental illness. If I tell Tarrget I’m Napolean, will they give me a throne? Fascilitating mental illness doesn’t help anyone.
