"We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity."

I don't know if OP has ever seen a trans woman, but normally, she will look like a woman and you would never notice her in the woman's restroom - she would look odd, and understandably feel uncomfortable, going into the men's room, which is why this policy exists. Would you be comfortable with a trans man with a beard going into the women's changing room with your teen girls, just because he had lady parts?

I'm pretty sure OP believes that a trans woman is essentially just a big dude with a terrible wig on who is faking his way into the dressing room because he's a pedophile.

+1 I'm pretty sure OP doesn't realize that there is a difference between someone who is transgender, a cross dresser, and a pervert.

+2

+3

I appreciate the scientific article someone linked to about the variance in chromosomes that shows sex and gender to be more complex than previously thought.

To me, this is over the edge. I can accept (reluctantly, I admit) unisex bathrooms because I get that people are typically in and out, with one purpose in mind. Fitting rooms, on the other hand, are something else. My teen DD and her friends love to go in and try on clothes, debate between the green and yellow shirt, etc. They spend more time in fitting rooms than I ever would, but it's all part of the fun for them in a "Target Run." Can anyone honestly see how this does not have the potential for major safety issues?

Never done this before, but I'm now part of the boycott. Hello, CVS, Wal-greens and.... Wal-Mart?

So you worry about pedophiles molesting you daughter, but could care less if they are in the men's room?

I have 3 sons. Convince me that it is better that they get molested by the hypothetical monster in your head. Just try it.

I worked in retail in HS and College. The fitting rooms are probably the safest part of any store. They are closely monitored to prevent theft. So you are not worried about the completely unmonitored bathrooms but you are worried about the highly monitored fitting room. This confuses me OP.

Seriously

NP. Target seems different to me. Those other stores you mention are geared to a specific demographic and shopper. Target is literally for everyone.

What deli defense does any of this make?

Difference*

I"m not even going to guess what you mean by "deli difference," but...

It's different because stores like Aeropostale and Old Navy are geared to a specific consumer -- younger, urban hip, kids, etc. They don't have grandma-type clothes or infant/ toddler wear (at least at most of them.) So, specific people with specific needs shop there. Target made its name by appealing to everyone -- the oversized, young/ old, men/ women, etc. Why are they singling out a specific group to be made to feel more "comfortable," at the same time dismissing a much larger portion of their shoppers?

There position is that everyone is equal and that homophobes and the transphobic don't get to be more comfortable than anyone else.

That's right -- everyone is equal. Men have men's rooms and women have women's fitting rooms. They are separate and they are equal.

WOW. Separate but equal is the argument you are going with. Just WOW. Should there also be separate water fountains for those born with penises and those born with vaginas.
And who is going to be in charge of checked the current status of one's genitals. It is not quite as obvious as skin color.

Op's implication is that she COULDN'T care less. Honestly the grammar on this thread is horrific

Huh? I'm pretty sure that the fitting rooms at our local Target (Germantown) have always been unisex. Why does it matter if it's not a communal changing room? What's the concern?

Tolerant liberals again.

OP would prefer to restrict people simply because she can't grasp reality.
Sorry. I don't "tolerate" that.

This! Or order online from Target. I hate shopping at an actual store.
