" Target Corp. made it clear Tuesday that transgender people who visit its stores are welcome to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.
The statement by the Minneapolis-based retailer comes amid debates in many state legislatures over restricting public restroom use to the sex listed on a person’s birth certificate.
While many of those conversations have centered around restrooms in public schools and government buildings, Target appears to be one of the first big-box retailers to take a proactive stance in declaring its position on the matter when it comes to its own restrooms.
While they may not be technically public, restrooms in stores are often the most easily accessible and widely available options outside of people’s homes and workplaces.
Target’s position also extends to its fitting rooms.
“Inclusivity is a core belief at Target,” the company said in a statement on its corporate website. “It’s something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.”

No more visits to Target.
They probably should’ve been scratched off years ago.
I’m guessing the Target does not know who its core consumer base is.
No more Target for me and mine...
No wonder we’re having so many earthquakes lately.
Let's see how well you celebrate your earnings.
Well that just cuts it, I will not enter a Target store again. not that I ever did anyway!!!
I won’t be going to the bathroom EVER in Target again..the last thing I want to see when I go to the women’s bathroom is some dude in a dress with his pecker out taking a piss
Done with Target. They’ve now chased me out of their stores and because their website demands that I change my security settings, I won’t shop on line, either. I predict this is really going to hurt their bottom line.
In my neck of the woods, we have Wal-Mart, Meiers and Target. Judging by the parking lot, this proclamation ought to about finish them off.
I am a 6ft man,all things rugged,but I am gonna start carryin a purse so I can pee with the girls
One door...one seat...aka...ye old outhouse.
Give altogether new meaning to the term “Target”.
Then I could boycott them.
Perverts and mentally ill welcome at Target!
.
Wow. Alienate 50% of your customers that don’t indulge the fantasies of cross dressers to appease .05% of the population to get what? 1% increase in sales from the LGBTXYZ “community”?
Is there be a lock on the main bathroom door? That just might be a liability.
We need to really be careful, these pedophiles hang out in these areas, and our children don't need to be around this garbage...
Be careful everywhere you go, keep an eye on all children, if you see something or feel it isn't right, dial 911 immediately, your gut lets you know when things aren't right...
