Don't Boycott Target Over Transgender Bathroom Issue: Here's a Better Alternative

HA! target can pound sand..

I’m betting Target claims they can’t afford it.

I started my Target boycott when they banned the Salvation Christmas bell ringers.

I’ve seen a solution in San Francisco that would probably work anywhere: gender-neutral bathrooms. The stalls are in fact individual rooms (walled off from floor to ceiling), with a shared area with sinks & mirrors. A father could accompany his daughter and ensure her safety (while guarding the entrance to the “room”), and companies could halve the space set aside for bathrooms (though there would be longer lines if just one set was kept). No urinals or public lewdness, and one could probably place cameras in the shared area without privacy/peeping issues - do your business in the “rooms”, and the rest is basically public unrestricted space.

Makes this whole issue moot.

Apparently Target forgot about what happened to J.C. Penney after it promoted the gay lifestyle. And what happened to Penney’s CEO who was responsible for this fiasco?

I’m a fan of the Good Touch/Bad Touch gambit myself. With your daughter in the ladies room have the girl yell “Stranger Danger - BAD Touch!” then have management call the police.

Instead of boycotting, why not call on Target to insure the safety of women and girls while they are also providing reasonable accommodation to transgender individuals? Instead of widening the chasm why not find the common concern of privacy and safety which stands at the center of concern for both groups?

Because people and companies that think like Target won't acknowledge there's any danger in this policy to protect women and girls from.

Since boycotts are ineffective and tend to cause the other side to have buy ins the above approach is a good one.

The overall point that we lose effectiveness when we withdraw is well made

A female just might lodge a false claim of harassment by such a pervert.Of course there’d be no attempt to actually *collect* anything but the suit would be for millions and the press would be approached and given all the “details”.

Downsize all restrooms. Make them small...one person operations…with the business deciding how many one person restrooms it needs to satisfy customer demands and where they are located. Customers can wait in line.

Science, bitches!

Isn't that what all the edgy 16 year old douchebags and fat mountain dew drinking, cheetos eating fat atheist neckbeards with fedoras like to say on twitter and reddit, and facebook, and...?

Well, let's go by SCIENCE. Let's get RID of the man and woman icons on bathroom doors and replace them with...

XX and XY designations. Science, bitches!

just use one bathroom and then go into the next one, tell them you’re just finding your way on the life journey.

[jennings2004]

Amen!!

Moms will take young children of either gender into the bathroom in order to safeguard them as well as keeping them from making a mess. Fathers OTOH send their tiny little daughters into the ladies room alone, I’ve seen it many times.

Maybe a solution for dads would be to stop at a restaurant or some such place with a single stall bathroom before going to Target.

CP, you adopt your plan and I will adopt mine.
