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.

Actually gender is a “culturally” agreed upon form of identity so you’re a tad wrong there. What you mean is that there is no such thing as “transsexual”. There you would be absolutely correct, you’re either born with it or you’re not.
DONT NEED TARGET
No no no no no that’s not equality if your going to let Transgender men in then you have to let all men who wish to use the woman’s restroom in.
Your being very discriminate and biggoted target.
Screw target
This Is Sick
good by target
Better this than gender neutral where men are in all the bathrooms.
I have never seen a transgender in target personally …just moms with Starbucks. I’m not afraid of trannies though there are things in the women’s bathrooms they should be scared of haha.
Just lost a customer.
