844,000 and Counting: The Target Boycott is “Spiraling out of control”

Just checked. As of this writing the total number signed on the Target boycott is over 844,000.

We’re also seeing men trolling target and making a video of how easy it is for ANY man to use the women’s room at Target. You don’t have to be a cross dresser in an ill fitting wig and high heels to use the “ladies” room at Target.

But is it a ladies room when men can use it? Target is labeling it’s restrooms fraudently.

Excerpt from Business Insider

Nearly 700,000 people have signed a pledge to boycott the retailer after it announced last week that it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matches their gender identity.

The backers of the pledge — including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — claim that the policy poses a “danger to wives and daughters” and is “exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims.”

Some critics are visiting Target stores across the country and demanding access to bathrooms of the opposite sex to support claims that “perverts” can now gain access to children and women as a result of the policy.

Greg Locke, a pastor at Global Vision Bible Church in Tennessee, posted a video outside a Target store saying he got permission to use the women’s restroom when he questioned store management.

In the video, which has been viewed more than 14 million times, he says the policy opens the door for “perverts and pedophiles,” The Tennessean reports.

Another nontransgender man filmed himself going into Target and asking an employee if he could use the women’s restroom because that’s where he “feels comfortable.” The employee gives him permission and says if any women express concerns “They can come and we will speak to that.”

In a third incident, a man brought his daughter to Target and confronted store management about the policy, saying it made his daughter uncomfortable, then posted about it on Facebook. The post has been “liked” more than 135,000 times.

A conservative blogger in Florida and a group of protesters tried to stage a similar stunt at their local Target, but were rebuffed by store security, the Daily Commercial reports. They ended up holding a protest outside the store.

Target critics, including the conservative blogs Red State and The Blaze, are using the videos and posts to support their theory that the new policy is dangerous for women.

“A man, dressed as a man, who does not claim to be a woman, and does not claim to identify as a woman, may use the restroom designated for women if he feels more comfortable there,” Red State’s Caleb Howe writes. “If women have a problem with it, their complaints will be handled by security or management. Unbelievable.”

Some critics are even threatening violence over the new policy. Orlando-based lawyer Anita Staver says she will be taking her gun inside the restrooms at Target stores from now on, Orlando Weekly reports.

“… threatening violence … ” Nope, threatening to protect herself. Her life, her body, her right!

Bye, bye Target. It was nice knowin’ ya.
