Target’s financial losses, as a result of their transgender bathroom escapade, have been significant. In mid-April, the store made this statement: “We welcome transgender team members and [customer] guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.” Yet, this revolutionary policy has resulted in a $5 billion loss since April.
Truth and Action has been following the progression of this fluid story, reporting earlier,
Gender identity is in bold print, all caps in today’s headlines, as well as cranked to 11 in soundbites, forcing all to sit up and pay attention. As a recap, Truth and Action has synopsised exactly what one means by transgender in the following:
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.
The backlash has been substantial necessitating Target’s CEO Brian Cornell to spend time on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an attempt to reassure investors and customers. His efforts resulted in an even greater decline in stock prices.

isn’t Target owned by the French? I thought I heard that
Keep on crying hector
While you’re at it, stop supporting the Hollywood idiots by not buying,renting, downloading, Netflix, whatever ANY of their movie or music products… Send them the same message as you want to the send Target… Wait until you
can find it at a used store so you aren’t feeding them any more royalty money…
Let’s keep that boycott going, they are losing money hand over fist for their stupidity!!!
No problem. I don’t intend to ever give them another penny of my money. They are off my Christmas card list!
Joel Duran, already doing that. My “no buy” list is growing; it’s my own small personal statement, not to support them. I’m sure I’m not alone by a long shot.
I tore up my red Target card several years ago when they went full monty on their support for LGBT groups and organizations.
