I Miss Target!

No, the chances are not good. Part of all of this commotion is to make transgenderism and actual transitions seem far more common than they really are.

Nonetheless, I am certain that you have, at some point, been in a public bathroom or dressing room with a person whose genitalia were different from your assumptions. And the effect of this on you was...?

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?

You're a sad, small, person who needs to grow a heart. Not to mention a brain. And some common human decency.

Wow. For something you know absolutely nothing about (me), you seem very "certain."

Ah! So you think I'll be successful? I guess so, based on their crazy identity policies.

Here is their crazy identity policy. It's sheer insanity! Madness!

Recent debate around proposed laws in several states has reignited a national conversation around inclusivity. So earlier this week, we reiterated with our team members where Target stands and how our beliefs are brought to life in how we serve our guests.

Inclusivity is a core belief at Target. It’s something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.

We believe that everyone—every team member, every guest, and every community—deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally. Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination.

In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways. Most relevant for the conversations currently underway, we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.

We regularly assess issues and consider many factors such as impact to our business, guests and team members. Given the specific questions these legislative proposals raised about how we manage our fitting rooms and restrooms, we felt it was important to state our position.

Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target.

You didn't answer the question, of course. Based on this, why can't I start identifying as a 60 or 70 year old woman (or man, for that matter) and insist on the senior citizen discount? You may think you see a 30 something standing in front of you, but what you see is not real -- only what is in my mind is real.

Because it's completely different and you would be trying to get a discount that not everyone gets, rather than access a bathroom. That would be stealing from the company. You know, something God doesn't like so much.

How would I be stealing from the company when I sincerely believe, in my heart of hearts, that I am a 70 year old? That's all that matters, isn't it?

Yes, you're right. Maybe you haven't left the house in decades. Or you have never used a public bathroom or dressing room. There are people like that, though not very many.

OH please.... the typical liberal response.... cue the compassion line and calling everyone else "wrong."

I'm in favor of compassion. If that makes me a typical liberal, I don't have a problem with that. Are you opposed to compassion?

Not at all. We just have very different opinions on what "compassion" is.

I love this argument about unisex bathrooms and dressing rooms. Do you think that the sign of a woman on a door is keeping the perverts out or ever did. Guy sees a sign of a woman on a door and says "I guess I won't enter and be a big old perv cause it is the women's bathroom". If anything you might be safer cause some perv guy won't be inclined to assault you in a bathroom if there is a chance another guy might come to your rescue. I had a friend who was assaulted in a womens bathroom in college. Walked in and using facilities and guy pushes open the stall door and assaults her. The mens room was full of guys, she was alone in the womens room do you think this would have happened if the guys could have been using the same bathroom? Doubtful.

Then I'm confused by your comment. So you're a liberal too? Since you're also in favor of compassion.

You're confused because you are using terms that are not (truly) interchangeable. Liberalism is hardly the definition of "compassion," much as it likes to think it is.

Haven't read all 16 pages. OP has giggle girls, but what if she had a boy? Would she not be worried about a gay child molester in men's changing room? Shouldn't we be vigilant all the time regardless of gender?

You're the one who associated "liberal" and "compassion". What did you do that for?

I live in DC and one of my best friends is a transgender woman. We frequent the Columbia Heights target often - so I can tell you folks - that you've had a transgender woman in the dressing room with you several times for the past...um, year?

Also, Pentagon City Mall, Tysons and several other places around town.

I KNOW! ZOMG...

Let me tell you what happened.

First...we (WAIT FOR IT) tried on clothes. It was crazy. Can you imagine? And after that...MORE CLOTHES. The insanity. I had to hold her down from raping young children...but I managed.

We had a coffee after and went home.

Yeah, and I do not think that word means what you seem to think it means. Quite the opposite, in fact.
