Despite making up a very small percentage of the United States population, transgender people — and transgender rights — have been in the news quite a bit lately. The heaviest estimates indicate that 1/400 Americans are transgender. Transgender is not to be confused with transsexual — a term denoting someone who has actually had surgery to change their sexual appearance. To be considered transgender, all one has to do is “identify” as the opposite gender.
The differences between sex and gender have largely been lost on the people advocating for “transgender rights” — or the right for men who identify as women (and vice versa) to be able to use a different bathroom. Sex — being the biological differences between male and female — is the determining factor when one designs restroom facilities. Gender — being the social and cultural roles traditionally associated with sex — does not actually factor into the practicality of restroom use.
But none of this matters to liberals who have taken on this cause, and anyone who opposes them is now branded a “transphobic” bigot. Retail giant Target waded into the restroom controversy Tuesday by announcing they will now allow those who identify as transgender to use the restroom and changing room of their choice.

I don’t feel like I belong at Target so their stores fill up with queers transvestites and Weirdos in the wrong restroom and authentic men and women can shop elsewhere
In Europe they have unisex bathrooms for along time, men women children.
Apparently, Target doesn’t want you to feel safe when going to a woman’s restroom. Therefore you may not feel safe in their stores. Let’s keep the non-safe feeling down in this country, don’t shop at Target.
What will their position be on the issue after someone is sexually assaulted in their store and they are sued for having policies that place women and children in danger?
I will no longer shop at Target.
Boycot Target, let them know who is in charge.
No more Target for me!!!
Which locker and shower room is transgender?
