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.

Why don’t you stop this bullcrap and concentrate on the real issues.
Defying women their rights to privacy.
I do not belong in Target.
Done with Target.
Surprised Target took this on. next time I go I will see if they did that in Texas, would be surprised.
NO SEE IT IS NOT ABOUT A MAN IN A DRESS…TRUE TRANSGENDERS ARE NOT THE ISSUE…THIS ALLOWS ALL MEN IN THE WOMEN’S DRESSING ROOM AND BATHROOM..
Just made the call and told them I will not bring my granddaughters shopping there again. They also deserve the respect of not having a man, regardless of what he is wearing, coming into our private women’s restroom. They need to open a bathroom for those men, not with my granddaughters!
they have always belonged. It’s just in their stupid minds and guilty conscience showing.
why don’t we just let everyone go into the restroom of their choice….no matter who they are! Because this is what this is leading to and much much more deviate activity!!!
Apparently only a small sick minority of the population deserve to feel like they long, screw the rest of us right?
