    Newflash dipshits: if someone is going to sexually assault someone in a public restroom they already don’t care if they’re supposed to be in there or not. Making up some stupid transphobic rule under the guise of public safety won’t make a lick of difference.

      And why haven’t these people been worried about their sons in the men’s room all this time? Oh, so maybe it’s not really about protecting their kids.

      I don’t understand why a man waltzing in behind her as she walks into a bathroom is SO MUCH MORE threatening than a man waltzing in behind her into any other room. Is there something about bathrooms that just make men all of a sudden way more rapey?

    Won’t someone think of the beautiful blonde children?

    Also, I’d enjoy seeing someone actually waltz into a bathroom.

      Clearly, Target’s dangerous new policy poses a danger to wives and daughters.

      The rest of us sluts need not apply.

      I typically only tango into the bathroom, maybe I should try something different.

    Do they realize that by not allowing trans people to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity they are the ones demanding that men use the women’s bathroom? Or do they just not think trans men are real? Would they seriously prefer this man using the women’s bathroom?

    Not that the ability to pass for a certain gender should have anything to do with it, but you know they would freak out if they saw this trans man using the women’s bathroom.

      It’s so logical and few of them seem to get it.

      Of course the ones that do think that all transgender folks should use a separate third bathroom because all trans folk are the same gender - “other”. Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!

      These are the people who are saying that being trans is saying that he “feels like a woman today”. No they really don’t get how any of this works.

    My father and I got into a huge fight about this yesterday. I watched my niece and nephew while their parents went out and he dropped by (he’s an asshole and we can’t stand each other) and I told him I worked my shift at target yesterday morning, he was honestly surprised that people weren’t protesting outside (at a store in Massachusetts) of it because of what Target did.

    He tried that whole bullshit of protecting my niece from predators when I reminded him that a fucking sign wouldn’t stop an actual predator. He tried claiming since Target has allowed this there has been over a dozen instances of men following little girls in bathrooms claiming to be transgender, he’s a fucking liar.

    I finally left the room because I was getting so fucking pissed at his bigotry and using my niece as an excuse. He swears he’s not a bigot though, he respects the gays and lesbians for fighting so hard for their right to marry and be in the Military (they shouldn’t have fucking had to do that), but can’t respect transgendered because their one fight is to pee in a bathroom (because he’s uninformed asshole and won’t educate himself).

    My sister even said to stop using her daughter for his bigotry, that her daughter won't even know the genitalia of the person in the next stall because she taught her to mind her own fucking business unlike our father who apparently needs to fucking know because he's a fucking weirdo.

      Exactly! He tried to act like he was being the concerned grandfather (she’s my niece if I didn’t explain that correctly)

      He kept going, “well what happens when she’s in gym class and is changing in the locker room or needs to shower!”

      First of all, the schools around here they don’t shower after gym class and if we needed to change clothing, we had private stalls we took turns in. I explained this and he says, “that’s not true! When I was in high school there were no stalls!”

      That was 35 years ago jerk, times have changed and most places give students privacy now.

    Too bad there are no Targets close to me. I really want to start shopping there. At the very least, I’ll be able to avoid the religious zealots.

    People could get attacked in the bathroom before this. It's not transgender people you have to worry about.

    This whole thing is sadly the next logical step for the bigots who have only just now begun to acknowledge that they lost the fight against gay people. That disgusting facebook post shows the pivot in action; “Look, I don’t hate gays, I’ve learned to tolerate them, but trans people? One must have decency!”

      My question: a non-trans male could “disguise” himself as a woman at any point in the last several decades and go into a women’s room.

      Why is this suddenly a big crisis? Oh, right - people are being told that it’s a big crisis and they’re fucking sheep looking for the next thing to hate/fear.

      It’s getting harder and harder for these people to perpetrate bigotry based on things that are out in the open for them to see and it frustrates the hell out of them. That’s why they’re so upset about trans bathroom policies, because they know deep down that it’s already going on around them but they want to be able to scream and cry about an epidemic that isn’t even there.

    It’s fine by me if those idiots boycott Target. I would enjoy buying toilet paper and socks way better knowing that the possibility of being near a bigot has been reduced.

    Newsflash idiots: if you feel more comfortable using a public restroom that employs the Junk Police- stay home.

      Actually, you’re a bigot because you actually believe that a transgendered woman.... All transgendered people are automatically sex offenders. That’s not true.

      You’re an idiot because you don’t realize that it’s already against the law to sexually attack anybody in any gendered restroom nor are you smart enough to take a quick look at the criminal statistics involving public attacks. There is not one documented attack of a transgendered person sexually assaulting anybody in a public restroom. Yet, since these reactionary, obviously bigoted ploy to discriminate against the lgbtq community due to Marriage Equality- trans people have been specifically attacked.

      So, yes. You are a bigot and and idiot for not having the common sense to see if a fake panic is true. I sincerely worry about the quality of life your daughter is receiving. She’s being raised by a willfully, hateful moron.

    This means a man can simply say he “feels like a woman today” and enter the women’s restroom

    Christ almighty can these ignorant jackasses quit writing letters?

    And two, by all means keep your hateful ass out of Target. Y’all are probably the mofo’s who don’t know how to move your cart all the way to one side and block the fucking aisle and pretend like you don’t see other people trying to maneuver around your ass. More room for the rest of us.

    This issue came up at my job today. Some dudes are pissed about a transgender person in their bathroom of choice ... Although I assume they would be pissed about that person in the bathroom of their genetic ID.

    The thing is, we have no unisex bathroom. Where are they supposed to pee? Practically, how does this even work?
