Tens of thousands of people are calling for a Target boycott over Transgender bathroom issue

More than 167,000 people have signed a pledge to boycott Target after the retailer said it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matches their gender identity.

The boycott pledge was started by the conservative American Family Association (AFA).

"Target's policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims," AFA President Tim Wildmon said in an open letter. "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."

Wildmon urged people to sign the boycott pledge, claiming the policy "poses a danger to wives and daughters." He also urged people to complain about the policy on Target's Facebook page.

He suggested that Target should install separate unisex bathrooms instead of giving all genders access to facilities designated for women or men.

Target clarified its position on transgender bathrooms in a statement on Tuesday.

"We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity," the retailer said in the statement. "Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target."

Here is a nice poll to Freep. No sign in required.

This is from the formerly great newspaper, The Birmingham News. They are headed up now by an alleged lesbian editor and two stone cold Northerners that daily try to plant the idea that all of Alabama is racist, but they laid off all the black reporters covering a majority black city.

They deluge the paper and it’s online sites with constant pro-homosexual propaganda but refused to cover this news from our LOCAL university:

“Anal intercourse linked to increased risk of incontinence in both males, females.” http://www.uab.edu/news/faculty/item/6969-anal-sex-linked-to-increased-risk-of-incontinence-in-both-males-females

They also refused to cover this news from the America College of Pediatricians: “Gender Ideology Harms Children.”

I pretty much do, too, for other reasons.

I quit going there when they took the pinks and blues out of their toy sections. Their home office is in Minnesota, so that explains a lot.

Here’s the thing: the VERY few times I’ve shopped at a Target, I’ve noticed nearly 100% of their customers are female. I would think females would be WAY more concerned about freaks in their bathrooms than males.

I quit going to them YEARS ago when they filed an amicus brief supporting the homosexual lobby at SCOTUS

Lets do this - go with three restrooms. One for “Females or Girls” and one “Males or Boys” and one for “Confused” or “Uncertain”

You miss the point. The men want to use the Women’s bathroom. They don’t want to suffer the shame of using a non-women’s bathroom.

Just build all bathrooms as one-holers. End of problem except queers will rail that it is unfair to keep them isolated from the mainstream.

The real boycott?

Short shopping trips for women with children, women alone, and older women.

Here’s wishing Target well with man, gays and gang-bangers who have made J.C. Penny such a big success these last few years.

Shopping trips reduced to hours... by the people who spend the family money...

Better still, lets don't shop at the stores that let old men go to the bathroom with sweet little girls.
Little girls think men are just like daddy, grandpa and uncle jim.

SAVE OUR LITTLE GIRLS.

I was trying to be funny, that’s all. Introducing humor seems to be the only thing that keeps me grounded when dealing with crap like this. I get what you are saying; I too do not want ‘men’ going into women’s bathrooms.

Thank you

[aquila48]

You asked for it.

As our society falls to more and more perversion, there will be no where to hide. Perverts are aggressive.

[funfan]

How about you just go to the bathroom in the middle of the store would that be okay?

“Just build all bathrooms as one-holers”

Women hate those, as men with bad aim make a mess on and around the toilet (excepting yours truly, so mrs riverdawg tells me).

The American People, at least the ones who haven’t lost their minds and common sense, are going to have to be the ones to put a stop to this insanity. If it takes boycotting, doing without, whatever, it’s worth stopping the entire nation from becoming a pervert’s dream for them and a living hell for us. Let’s get to it!

[Aleya2Fairlie]

According to the present mindset; we should let them starve their stupid selves to death and fast ourselves in solidarity.

When you force things into the ‘out’ chute, the out chute breaks. Are nostrils next?

I have no problem with a unisex bathroom as an option for certain situations — father with young daughter, caretakers for disabled, etc.

However, doing away totally with separate-gender restrooms & allowing anyone of the opposite gender to share is more than dangerous, but plain sick. It is catering to someone with a mental illness. Tell this LGBTQ person to either use the unisex or leave the premises, period.

Ironically, these people really don’t want unisex restrooms, which will either isolate or stigmatize them. What they want is total freedom — to do or be what they please, and have everyone cater to them. The issue is power & control, not personal identity.

I’m not a businessperson, but
