Target's Stock To Get Flushed From The Bathroom Policy
Seeking Alpha ^ | May 1, 2016 | David Zanoni

Summary

Target’s bathroom policy is scaring away many customers.

Im sure if I walked into the executive offices of the CEO of target and asked that I use his restroom because I identify myself as a Executive so I should be able to use his restroom, he would call security in no time. There is no difference.

I prefer to identify these confused individuals by the medically correct term. Gender dysphoria.

“e can’t boycott every lefty intimidated or controlled company, but we can make an object lesson of one.”

That’s one of Alynsky’s main rule. Pick a target, isolate it, demolish it. The others will take the hint.

It’s not just bathrooms which have some semblance of privacy, but they included dressing rooms as well. And other places include showers.

Sexual obsession is NOT a basis for a Culture, a family or general commercial store policy. This is all going to a VERY bad place. We are letting literal crazies take over.

This is not just about crazies with gender identity issues. This lets street crazies follow little girls into the rest room. I predict massive lawsuits due to pedophile rapes at Target.

And many people, who have not signed the pledge, will not shop there.

I think, as Christian learn to fight, they will follow through on signed pledges.

Stock loss don’t mean diddly. Second and third quarter sales will tell the tale.

Good. The left is using intimidation to force businesses to force us to think according to leftist-approved dogma. Doesn’t work with me.

yes, well... it can be aruged that the entire idea of civilization and marriage is to protect women and children

and now... our political hacks are putting grown men into the little girls’ rooms of America

this is insanity... how they could even have dreampt up this socially degenerative (and disruptive) ‘policy’ is beyond comprehension

It isn’t just the bathroom - it is the changing room, too.

I didn’t sign but I am definitely boycotting. And I was until now a REGULAR Target shopper.

Nop, I am one of the boy otters. Target will not see a dime from us. It will hurt their bottom line as parents turn away.
