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.

Keep queers out
What about the majority of women who will feel like they don’t belong? This is getting out of hand.
I’m shopping at Walmart from now on
BS.
These nuts are suppose to be only 3 percent of the population. Let the 3 percent support Target.
I dont shop target.
over priced.
You’re kidding???? That just pisses me off. In another part of America, Georgia to be exact a physician who is also a pastor was fired because he was preaching the Bible’s teaching on homosexuality. Now where’s the separation of religion and state and why is there no tolerance of his faith and in his own Church!!!!
Thus opens doors for people and there are people that want to be animals. I guess people that say they are cats will won’t a litter box. Seriously…there are groups of people that dress and live in animal costumes.
Yes I feel like I belong in the ladies bathroom and my husband in the men’s bathroom. I feel like I belong in my own home and do not feel like I need a transgender feeling like he would like to belong in my home. Bout as stupid as you can be Target.
Are we talking about the cross dressers or surgical change? Just curios
