I would suggest that Target needs to explain exactly how sharing a bathroom with a male makes a female feel like they, the female, belongs?

Indeed. Target infers those (mainly females) who are uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with those of the opposite gender do not belong in Target. Therefore they should agree with the boycott.

Each of us and all of us need to be proactive about our own protection: if you are a woman and you are by yourself and need to use the restroom or changing room, ask a female associate to monitor the facility. If a person who presents as male seeks entry, the Target employee should inform that customer that the facility is occupied and currently unavailable.


Gooooooood luck finding a team member when you need to pee. I’m just sayin.

Best is to accompany all family members to the restroom who are fairly helpless. Kids and the elderly, disabled, etc.

Any male looking man should NOT be allowed in the woman’s room. A transgendered man to woman should be able to pass enough to use the woman’s room - they’ve been doing so all this time. And that person is not interested in molesting people.

The goal of sexual perverts And muslims is to destroy Christianity. So a compromise in bathrooms : Male, Female, or, third choice- Transgender/Muslim room.

EVERYONE favoring these rules needs to explain how helpless females using the toilet can feel safe with men in their restrooms???? All men not transgendering to a successful degree need to stay out. If you don’t appear a woman, stay out.

[[ 3. There is no evidence that man/child sexual perversion is an issue for transgender people beyond the average norm.

The percentage of transgendered persons is too minute to make that a meaningful statement, ]]

Exactly- the left keep trying to bully the right by claiming that transgenders ‘aren’t known to commit sex crimes’, and this is all they want is for trannies ot use the bathrooms ‘they feel comfortable in’ (Which I call BS to- many were abused, turned to a sick perversion as a result, and in turn become abusers themselves- statistics show that abused people most often become abusers themselves)

The fact of the matter is that Any man will be allowed to walk into a woman’s bathroom, hang out for as long as he likes- and there is nothing the women and girls can do about it because IF a law officer tries to arrest that man, he will claim discrimination- Rapists, pedophiles, peeping toms, perverts of all stripes will only have to claim they are a woman and that they ‘can’t be discriminated against’-

This issue isn’t just about trannies, as bad as they are, it’s also about men of all manner of perverted stripes being allowed into a woman’s bathroom now- and nothing the left does can justify this argument that it’s ‘just about trannies’- it’s not! It’s about moral degradation and forcing society to accept it

We’ve gone from; ‘Do not beat these people up, they are troubled and mentally unsound’ to; ‘How can we make them feel good about being perverted and shame ourselves for not accepting it?’

Praise God, and despite the initial warning of how busy they were, the wait for an operator after jumping thru the numerical hoops was less than 3 minutes.

Once about 95 we were offering gospel tracts in church street station in Orlando, and i went inside to us the men’s room and passed a couple tracts out on the way, which i had been told not to do, but.. after i came out two security personnel were waiting for me, and took and finger printed me, and warned me that i would be arrested if i ever did that again. Outside was public prop. so they could not police there. But what a contrast.

The whole thing is a losing issue for Conservatives, and we shouldn't be falling into the trap of even discussing it. It shouldn't be a Federal, or even a state issue... but Dems are making it so purely for political gain.

If people become uncomfortable using restrooms in any particular establishment, then they'll stop going there and spending their money. Let this happen naturally... and let the Dems deal with the fallout that will follow.

Republicans constantly fall for these stupid issues and wind up being painted as evil bigots as a result, then the Dems get their way anyway. Why bother?

Another Suggested Solution






I believe that most women do not want trannys, tweeners, phony trannys, and other assorted nutbags and fruitcakes in the women's rooms of America, and most men do not want trannys, tweeners, phony trannys, and other assorted nutbags and fruitcakes in the men's rooms in America either.   So, in addition to the normal men's and women's rooms, my suggestion would be that one set of facilities be set aside somewhere to accommodate all the "OTHERS" out there.   Perhaps businesses could set aside an unused area in the rear of the facility somewhere (or convert one of their unused parking spaces) into one of these special "toilet facilities" for trannys, tweeners, phony trannys, and other assorted nutbags and fruitcakes.
And, for those caught not complying...

I already don’t shop at Target and I never will.

Boycott is a good thing...it’s hurts them where it’s needed to hurt.

Boycotts work just fine. Lawsuits are for sexual assaults committed due to Target’s carelessness.

As soon as one fake transgender molest a child in a bathroom it’ll be over. The fear isn’t about the one in 50,00 men who have had surgery to become a women - it’s about the lowlifes who will lie to watch naked women and children in bathrooms and showers.
