Target Is Now Being FORCED To Do This, After Transgender Bathroom Controversy Last week, Target made the controversial announcement that they were going to start allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. Not surprisingly, the decision did not go over well with the general public. Now, a viral boycott of almost 400,000 customers has swept the internet, pledging not to shop at the store due to the policy which they believe endangers the public. Now, a statement by Target could make the situation even worse. In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways, the statement read. Most relevant for the conversations currently underway, we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. We regularly assess issues and consider many factors such as impact to our business, guests and team members. Given the specific questions these legislative proposals raised about how we manage our fitting rooms and restrooms, we felt it was important to state our position. What do you think? Did Target just prove that they are absolutely clueless when it comes to the true needs of their customers? Are they putting women and children in jeopardy?
