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.

See ya Target!
It’s always been happening. If a man looks like a man and not a woman, nobody cares but let a man with no makeup and full dress look like a freak walk in and security will be all over that. I wish the lesbians would go to the men’s room.
How stupid
Let’s just have individual restrooms that hold only one person at a time with locking doors…. Like a port-a-potty being everyone can’t do what needs to be done.
We stopped shopping at Target, when they began requiring their employees to take muslim sensitivity training. Hmm all you really would need to know is not have Bibles visible in magazine/book section, no pork products or beer in foods. Target should also require muslim employees to take Christian sensitivity training. Target hasxa double standard going. Singling out Christians to appease muslims.
I’ll pee on the red sphere in front of the store
F**k target, they have lost me as a customer
When one or more attack someone sexually, the lawsuit will put them out of business.
We Will Never Give Target Our Business!!!
And I Will Encourage Others Not To Shop There As
I believe in freedom of choice- I choose not to give Target a damn dime.
