Excellent. Target stock loses $6 billion, sales tank

Posted: May 18, 2016

Keep right on voting with your feet and your wallet. There's plenty of alternatives to Target and their stupid bathroom policy.

Here's an idea that would get publicity. - sm

Set up a tent outside Target with a sign:

PERVERTS: RENT A DRESS HERE - ONLY $1.00 FOR ONE HOUR.

Stock it with 10 or 15 dresses from Goodwill.

Doubt you'd have customers, but I bet you'd have news media.

Bwaha! Hire a biker type with beard and stuff him - in a dress to "man" the booth.

[ In Reply To ..]
And make the sign "PERVES AND PEEPERS - GET YOUR JOLLIES!"

Oh, dear. I'm cracking myself up. I can just see this beefy dude in a red print, big feet in heels, croaking "Getcha dress here!".

I haven't been to Target for years & it has - nothing to do with toilets

Amazon and Walmart makes it so much easier to shop on-line and beats Target's prices.

I doubt that stock price fall reflects toilet policies.

on their gender identity for eons.

Your whole position rests upon a single fallacy that trans inclusive policies will lead to more bathroom assaults and voyeurism. That is a myth propagated by Right Wing Conservatives which was only created after the Houston, TX Equal Rights Ordinance was passed. It has absolutely NO factual basis.

There are over 225 jurisdictions and 17 states that have LGBT protections that include trans inclusive policies (some of them for over a decade) and not a single one of them has seen an uptick in any of the crimes you claim will happen with trans inclusive policies - not a single one of them!

Your position is based on supposition and opinion, not upon actual provable facts. It is an irrational fear.

If they have been doing it for years, then why the sudden - attention? Can you say AGENDA?

Who are you to object? This exactly the road we’re headed down on.

I'm betting most people have far, far more important things to worry about than what bathroom a trans uses - I know I definitely do (such as a crappy paycheck week after week). I am positive we've likely all used a public bathroom with a trans and so what? I have no problem whatsoever if a male-to-female trans is in a stall next to mine because, to be honest, I'm in there to do a job and get out. Back to your point - what are we being distracted from?? I think most people honestly don't care about this bathroom issue but it's being shoved down our throats in such a way as to FORCE us to worry about something so inconsequential. I mean - if we haven't yet heard about bathroom attacks yet trans people have been using the bathroom of the gender with which they identify for years...well, that tells us something, doesn't it? There's no more risk of that than an assault in a park or other public place. So, again, what's our crooked government doing behind our backs?

Their push for a race war with their stupid "campaigns" is (at least in my opinion) far worse than the bathroom issue. Actually, I find it highly amusing that people view Starbucks as some sort of social statement. Didn't know B&N was doing the same with the bathrooms. Gotta say, I won't boycott B&N because, where I live, I can't find what they carry anywhere else, at least not without driving an hour or more.

The ones pushing and promoting a "race war" - are the Right Wing.

I support gay rights wholeheartedly and I also support transgender rights. I do not believe there is any sort of gay agenda. If a person is truly gay, well, that's pretty much where it stops, you know? There's no agenda. It's their personal choice (is it a choice or is it organic? I don't know) and who I am to tell them they're wrong? Same for transgender. Now, I also believe that homosexuality has been appropriated as a "trend" as has transgender. What do I mean? Well...homosexuality and transgender is natural for some (and NOT in any way "freakish") but, because of it's galvanizing effect in our screwed up society, it's been appropriated as a trend. Know what I mean? THAT'S where I have a problem. My gay friends have stated exactly what I did, above. They feel that millennial libs and progressives have made a mess of things and it's gotten to this point in our society. Instead of moving forward with gay/transgender rights, we're actually moving backward because of messed up people who view the movement as a means of furthering progressively perverse agendas. So...no gay agenda at all, but there is a perverse agenda afoot. Just don't blame the gays and transgenders - they're just trying to live their lives.

I only agree that any "agenda" LBGT people have - is their desire to live their lives

[ In Reply To ..]
on equal terms to other members of humanity. There will always be groups who latch onto others' beliefs and campaigns, skew them, and use them to promote their own agendas. This is what the so-called "right" is doing in this case. The only time they give a rat's patoot about anyone else, is if they can use those people to further their own interests.

I actually agree with you - to a point - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
While I do not label or consider or believe being gay or transgender as a perversion at all, I also agree that it has become a trend. Many gays will say that the "movement" has become a springboard for anything goes. Being gay or transgender isn't illegal, immoral or a perversion, but what the progressive libs will want next is sure to be. Being gay or transgender doesn't hurt anyone. But what's following could and will - such as adult babies, crybullies, pedophiles, etc. Adults who suddenly 'realize' they missed out on their childhood and want to ditch their wives/husbands and kids to act like babies - that hurts the families they leave. I don't have to explain the pain pedophiles inflict. So, yeah, libs can and will use what should have been actual progress to further their vision of freedom of perversion. It's sad because gays and transgenders will have to pay the price for being normal and they shouldn't have to.

Most otherkins do not bring attention to themselves or demand special attention, much less demand anyone acknowledge it in daily conversation. Most otherkins do not dress up or behave like their "kin" side in public.
