    How many people actually use the bathroom in Target that this is an issue? I have been in many Targets many times and have never once used the bathroom there, although I suppose I would if I had to go REALLY badly and there was literally nowhere else - including on the side of my car - to go. And who are these people who are letting their little children go into Target bathrooms alone? If your kid is so small and vulnerable, maybe you should stand in the bathroom while they do their business.

      The bathrooms in Target are actually usually prety nice for what it’s worth.

      The ONLY time I ever used one (despite shopping there frequently) was when I was pregnant. Because whenever j left the house I'd have to pee when I arrived ten minutes later. Other than that, never.

    damn, just how empty is your life that this issue not only dominates your day; but you are actually so motivated that you go to a store and cause a panic over use of the bathrooms.

    someone clearly needs a mental health check.

      Given how big an issue “gender-neutral bathrooms” have become, I think a good portion of the country needs a mental health check.

      Good God...it’s a friggin’ bathroom. Not a policy statement. Go in, do your business, leave. We’re making a major election year socio-political issue out of what room we use to take a shit! Fucking get over it already. All of you.

    The obvious answer to how this came to be reported as an active shooter event: Someone reported him as an active shooter.

    Why? Probably hoping the police would kill him.

      Then they should have said “Black active shooter”

    To be fair, most guys in public restrooms are active shooters.

    Somehow Europeans of all genders manage to use the same restrooms and not lose their shit (metaphorically speaking).

    If only this country hadn’t been founded by repressed, religious nutbags but by groovy space hippies or something.

      The irony being that you technically described the founding of half the countries in Europe.

    The trans law is not about trans being predators. It is about 20% of women being raped and trans being 0% of the population. Why are we making bathrooms suit the feeling of an almost none existent population at the expense of 50% of the population?

      So what percentage of rapes would you estimate are perpetrated by cisgender men pretending to be trans women in a public restroom? This is not even a little bit about protecting women, and it is a LOT about discriminating against trans people. Bigots manufactured a problem so that they could “solve” it.

      Wait, what percentage of rapists do you think were just waiting around outside of public bathrooms, hoping for the day that entering the “wrong” bathroom would be normalized, so they could finally get inside the previously impenetrable door of the women’s room and commence to raping?

    I find the very notion of dumb white guys pretending to be the threats they falsely assume exist almost as hilarious as the idea of blocking out a section of your daily calendar with “2-5 PM: Pretend to be pervert in women’s room at Target.”

      Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the only perverts loitering in bathrooms are guys like this trying to make a point.

    The only time I have ever used a bathroom at Target (hey, when you gotta go...) there was a man in the next stall furiously jerking off. Like, shaking the entire row of stalls with his ardor. So you know, yeah, thank god these people are trying to protect our beautiful traditional bathroom policies.
