Post Target transgender policy: Most Target has single stall all gender restrooms.

LGBT weren't forced to use either men or women's rooms since an alternative already existed, so no need to make a special accommodation for them. All target has done is catch a case of the 'feels'. I hope they suffer greatly and are sued for hundreds of millions the first time a sex offender takes advantage of this and molests a woman or young girl.

Target doesn't feel the need to tell folks what bathrooms to use...if you don't like that policy...use your bathroom at home where you get to set the rules.

Wait - so you're OK with a business like Target being able to set their own bathroom rules, and not have the government tell them what they have to do???

Sounds like you're a supporter of NC House Bill 2. Congrats! You're starting to see the bigger picture.

04-cheers

You are misinterpreting the law. The N.C. law makes it illegal for a trangendered man to use the women's restroom. It isn't allowing businesses to make that decision.

You couldn't be more wrong. Private businesses can make that decision, just like they could before HB2. Post your proof that they cant.

Unfortunately, their generic diapers are the only ones we have found that my daughter doesn't piss through so they'll continue to get about $20 per month out of us. Definitely cutting out the auxillary purchases though!

lol @ Fit and UofMemphis on this one...
Clearly they haven't read HB2 and don't realize that private businesses like Target can do whatever the hell they want regarding bathrooms, LGBT discrimination policies, or anything else the 3% want to whine about.

Target doesn't feel the need to protect the basic expectations of privacy and security of vulnerable young girls and women. So far over half of a million people have voiced their displeasure with that policy.

and Target doesn't give a flip...

They can do as they wish and there was a smart way to do this. They did it the dumb way.

lol, they didn't send anyone anywhere...they told their customers to use the bathroom they feel comfortable with.

hmmm something about a gay couple and a bakery comes to mine... thank you for the hypocrisy.

In everything written and everything said about this policy and Target in this thread, this has the most truth to it.....

Target will not change their mind, no matter if this gets 1.5m signatures.

That's fine. If the stockholders like the results then the executives get to keep their jobs.

Yes because racism is the exact same thing as wanting to protect your wife and children from degenerates.

Nothing wrong with wanting to protect your wife and children. If a rapist/voyeur/etc is caught in the woman's bathroom trying to break the law, punish them. Take the maximum sentence on the books now and triple it, fine by me.

Isn't one of the big conservative arguments against gun laws something like "they are useless because criminals will continue breaking the law, and you are just punishing innocent people"? How is this any different? A rapist/voyeur/child predator is breaking the law now. Are they all of a sudden going to stop because of a law like the one in NC? Nope. Just hurting innocent people.

Maybe you are into nude beaches, but most people have more modesty and don't display their privates parts for members of the opposite sex.

Target already got rid of "boys" and "girls" toys.

Or don't go to Target.

Kind of ridiculous for a liberal to have something against boycotts.

Target also banned guns from their stores. I like Target's selection over Wal-Mart, but I have no qualms about cutting back my visits to the chain.
