During the holiday season, Macy’s is regarded as a shopping Mecca, but in Texas, the retail giant is at the centre of a controversy.

“Our company is bending over backwards for a freak who is taking his drag queen show to work with him.”

The implications of accomodating these deviants are mind-boggling; this woman could just as easily have been fired for letting the wierdo into that area.

The “pushing the limits” stunts are designed to cost “normal” people their livelihoods while winning large cash settlements for the freaks. Muslims can’t pour into this counrty quickly enough; when one of their women is accosted by one of these mental patients, the situation will be resolved (probably with fitting rooms for men, women, and “enter-at-your-own-risk” - which will be like an indoor rest stop).

I think you are both correct. I have seen some unisex dressing rooms that do work, and others where I wouldn’t want to use them. It just depends on the establishment.

My 13 yo daughter even freaks out if I am in the dressing room with her, I could only imagine how she would react if she knew “men” were allowed in as well.

[Dilbert San Diego]

That’s correct. Political Correctness trumps every other consideration here.

We have to be tolerant and to prove how tolerant we are, we have to tolerate men in a woman’s dressing room.

I wonder if Macy’s will get sued. This could have been a set up for a lawsuit. Dude has his mock outrage at what happened, and goes crying to Lambda Legal and the ACLU.

Seriously? It’s been all over FR for two years. Google rape-rape and Whoppi.

Instead of labeling toilets “Men” or “Women”, label them “Y Chromosome” or “No Y Chromosome”. That should do the trick.

Unfortunately, I think there is a significant segment of the population which would not understand the reference.

Many stores in Europe and Japan have the same dressing room for both genders.

Fine - then let just the “transgendered” shop there. See how long Macy’s stays in business then. Everyone else should boycott!

This was a talk show topic in Austin this morning. A lot of women called in and said they were telling Macy's that they were taking their business elsewhere.

Headline should read “Black American Persecuted for Exercising Common Sense"

When I heard the interview of that woman, it was the first time I knew she was black. This could be a sticking point for Macy's.

[Arrowhead1952]

I think you are both correct.

My 13 yo daughter even freaks out if I am in the dressing room with her, I could only imagine how she would react if she knew “men” were allowed in as well.

How bad would your daughter freak out if she KNEW a transgender male had been wearing those dresses or undies a few minutes or hours ago?

[Gabz]

I understand where you are coming from, however, “undies” are not something I purchase for her under such circumstances that ANYONE, let alone what you describe, would have had the opportunity to try on.

[stuartcr]

People don’t really try on undies, do they?

More proof, if any more is needed, that the inmates are running the assylumn.

'There are no transgenders in the world. A guy can dress up as a woman all he wants, that's still not going to make you a woman,' Miss Johnson said.

I agree with that lady and also they can allow themselves to be surigically mulitated from now to the cows come home and that will not change a male into a female or a female into a male.

[sport]

They don’t have to worry about me going in there.

[Arrowhead1952]

People don’t really try on undies, do they?

You never know what those pervs do. They have a sick mind to start with and I don't put anything past them.

“How is a normal person supposed to tell the difference between those who think they are “transgendered individuals” and run of the mill transvestites, transsexuals or common perverts? “
I sort of liked the way Crocodile Dundee did it, and he seemed pretty normal, lol.

Macy’s may have a policy but I seriously doubt that the other women in that dressing room want HIM in there... Do the customers receive notice that the dressing rooms are not mens and womens but rather anything goes?

I may walk right into a Macy’s womens dressing room (with mens clothes) to test their policy...

[AppyPappy]

I wonder if I can use the women’s shower if I think I am a woman.

[hocndoc]

You don’t even have to think you’re a woman if you’re a cross-dresser. You just have to get some satisfaction from dressing like one. So I guess you’d just have to use a fragrant body wash.

I shared before on this forum what happened to my son when he was a teen shopping at gay Macy’s, but I will do it again for those who did not catch it.

So he is a handsome guy; a football player shopping for some casual clothing during a sale at Macy’s. He goes to a man and asks where he can try on clothing while I am not with him, but looking through a rack nearby. The perv tells him to take off his colthing there, snort snort.

Then he sees me coming and I ask “What the hell did you just say to my son?” He’s freaked - like a perv caught with his hands in a baby’s diapers. He runs out of the department - literally - he’s a fat azz pervert running away from me!

So the other employee who had been behind the counter with him but who was now alone looked mortified. I turned to him and asked what the h e double toothpicks is up? He was mortified and gave me the key to the dressing room, appologizing. I got the pervs name and we left. Never went shopping there again. On gay perv sites, the meet up place is Macy bathrooms!
