Transgender and Bathrooms

[invictustaylor]

Um,,,,no???? Gender has nothing to do with the junk you got and sex changes are extremely difficult to get

You can use the bathroom with the gender you identify with no matter what

thank you.....now watch this guy try and get women to accept that he is a 6 foot 5 chinese lady...

Well, my Fake ID in college that said I was 6'5" worked.

Express away, we have no problems with unique perspectives as long as they aren't meant strictly for the purpose of creating havoc.

How much longer do we have to stay nice?

I'm talking about North Carolina. The law says you have to use the bathroom of the gender on the birth certificate, which you can change.

And I agree it's difficult and that shouldn't be the case. My point was that transgendered people who do go through the sex change and gender change on their birth certificate will still face bigotry and hate.

maybe bigeyedphish can hook them up with forged documents. i mean, if he had a fake id in college to consume alcohol, i'm sure we can start accepting fake identities and documents to accomodate people that have these bathroom issues. disclaimer, if this upsets you i couldn't find sarcasm font.

Nearly 1 Million Sign Pledge to Boycott Target Over Bathroom Policy

poll if you agree with the bathroom policy

yes 23 percent

no 77 percent

My store is still just as busy, if not more than usual. Besides that one rude bitch that went off on me about the bathroom policy (so fast that I couldn't even offer to walkie the LOD) no one else has said anything that I'm aware of. Everyone is still peeing in the bathrooms. Mothers and children are left unharmed... shocking right.

Nearly 1 Million Sign Pledge to Boycott Target Over Bathroom Policy

The pledge only counts the number of unique e-mail addresses and evidently the address doesn't even have to exist to be used. I'd be willing to believe 500,000 or fewer individual people actually signed and that many signed multiple times.

Lots of bigots in this world, as evidenced by some of the posts in this thread. I say shut it down. Lock the thread. Trans people don't deserve this kind of abuse. Have they not dealt with enough pain? I guess for KKKonservatives, the answer is no.

 

[invictustaylor]

maybe they have split personality disorder and they identify themselves as actually being multiple people. it needs to be respected.

i don't think that would be brand. feedback is important and we need to have an open door policy that is all inclusive. if somebody identifies as being in the kkk, that is their personal belief and needs to be respected. you don't have to agree with it, but how dare somebody try to oppress a group of people like the kkk that is in the minority. they are still people that have rights.

Or maybe their genes give them the anatomy of one gender but the psychology of the other?

i was talking about people who signed the petition more than one time...

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Target brand perception falls, but it's not 'catastrophic'

[invictustaylor]

i think i read a similar spin article about target canada failing, but it wasn't actually catastrophic, it was actually a win with a few areas rife with "opportunity"

 

[squirrely]

My store did awesome in sales following the announcement, but has suffered big time this week. Lost all our flex hours 🙁

You know this website isn't actually handled by Target at all, right, sugar?

Who am I kidding, you just said to respect the beliefs of KKK members. Kindly go screw.

 

[invictustaylor]

you need to respect that they believe that. you don't have to actually respect the belief.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you have any right to make fun of it.
I'm not gay or a woman so there are many aspects of their lives I'll never truly appreciate or understand but I don't spend my time mocking them.
What I do have is empathy which means I can accept that someone doesn't identify with their birth sex because they tell they don't.
I don't need more than that and being an asshole about it never seemed like something a decent adult would do.

I'm saying this for your own good. You're being mind controlled and you must resist. They're taking over!

 

[invictustaylor]

i agree with that. I guess my deal is that there should be tolerance instead of acceptance. there needs to be a clear cut message that having body dysmorphia, psychological issues, or even past life karma that is being resolved in the current reincarnation in the wrong body is tolerated and you are given the same freedoms as anyone else. but it doesn't need to be celebrated and encouraged.

 

[brizzy93]

He's an asshole

 

[invictustaylor]

you mean his beliefs and self identity had no basis in reality and therefore shouldn't have to be honored?

I really don't understand what point people think they are proving when they walk into a target to "protest" this. The woman who yelled at me must feel so much better because she took it out on a TM right? Trans people have every right to be respected and to be able to use the bathroom of the gender they are now. He is mocking that. Everyone is immediately jumping to rape and molestation being the next step. Trans people don't feel safe no matter the bathroom they use. All it takes is one bigot like you to jump them because "they don't belong." That is complete bullshit. The people who will abuse this have already done so. I believe there was a link posted of a man posing as a woman from bACK IN 2014! Criminals don't suddenly think the dress silhouette was a forcefield that is now lifted.
