I’ve seen that there is a nationwide boycott of Target:
On its web site, Target announced, “[W]e welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. …Everyone deserves to feel like they belong.”
This isn’t silly – it’s stupid.
Carolina passed HB2 not as a rule to keep private restrooms in compliance but rather as a response to the city of Charlotte’s over reach in mandating restroom policy. The WHOLE point of HB2 is that each private business Ought be free to craft their own policy.
And Target has.
More power to them.
And since almost every facility in Target is individual stall/facility, I don’t have an issue with their decision.
Please, shop at Target and celebrate individual liberty!
Since most transgendered folk look like they are from the gender they identify with, they likely still use and have used that bathroom for years. Probably the law and the policy are unnecessary. The idea that pedophiles will go into girls’ rest rooms and torment them is odd – will they otherwise stay in the mens rooms and torment boys? And is that any better? Charlotte’s policy was unnecessary – a political statement with no real impact. NC’s response was equally unnecessary but more costly in terms its consequences. Target’s policy was more a political statement, and they’re betting it ultimately benefits them more than harms them. Yet in reality, transgendered folk are probably using the bathroom they choose, no one notices and no one cares. Much ado about nothing.

Ummm…source.

The bathroom aspect is only kinda interesting. The issue I had with Charlotte is that it would have allowed male anatomy in the female anatomy shower at the high school.
No way that is okay.
