One million Americans vow to boycott Target over transgender bathrooms

[Wells]

We should ban men from all public spaces as well, because some men get off from the mere image of a woman.

Ban Catholic priests and Republican Congressmen from men's rooms imo.

[Zdrasti]

women and men should urinate and defecate separately.

theres alot of creepy dudes who get off on the mere SOUND of a woman doing her business. it's just a recipe for disaster.

Play music. Also, perhaps it's so arousing to them because it's forbidden. If they grew up hearing everyone fart and shit, it wouldn't be so special.

And there's plenty of other stuff creepy dudes get off on that you can't stop.

theres a difference between getting off on an image, or hiding in a stall next to a woman wacking off over the sounds.

The shit people will dream up to excuse transphobia.

You would think people pushing the women and children arguments would at least target convicted offenders first, but nope, lets fuck over trans people cause of a boogeyman.

Wacking off in a public bathroom is already illegal. You don't need another law.

Its really just textbook moral panic. 2004 redux

What is the difference? Both will get caught if they try it, because dudes can't do it quietly especially when they are getting off to a fetish.

Good. Maybe Target realizes not everybody is cool with losing common sense for Diversity™

Another example of the needs of the minority coming first.

You expect logic from people who buy into this kind of hyperbole fear mongering to begin with? D:

[Cthulhu 2020]

But we never had a vetting process in place to begin with. There was nothing stopping a man, or woman from using the other bathroom. If someone is going to do something illegal in a bathroom, they're STILL BREAKING THE LAW.

Pretty much, and this isn't a change in the policy for Target. Target has been allowing this for a long time now, they're just reiterating a policy they already have in place. Funny how the regressive reactionary conservatives suddenly shit their pants because Target is like "Uh just to remind everyone, we do allow transgenders to use whatever bathroom they want."

If someone is doing something illegal, they're doing something illegal.

I mean Target's stock is still the highest it's ever been. 1 million signatures on an online poll that anyone can write a script for to sign multiple times. Doubt they're losing many customers anyway, as most of the ones signing the petition probably couldn't even afford to shop at Target. Diversity, or a few broke bumpkins that didn't shop there anyway... not a tough decision.

Why wouldn't they be able to afford it? Is it because you think anybody who is a *whispers* bigot is somebody living in a trailer? You would be wrong.

Or is it because Target has stupid prices compared to alternatives?

Some men get off on women's feet. Or butts. Or faces. Or arms. Maybe we should just make all women wear clothes that cover everything?

Congrats, you're making exactly the argument that fundamentalist Muslims use to enforce the wearing of the burqa.

As a transexual myself, I completely agree with the protesters. You didn't change your gender to be special, you changed it because you didn't like what you were.

If you got a Wiener and look like a woman, big deal, go into the female toilet. No one's gonna stare at you, same goes for opposite.
This is just very stupid all around.

The shit people will dream up to excuse transphobia.

The lengths people will go to accuse others of bigotry.

“We want to make it very clear that AFA does not believe the transgender community poses this danger to the wider public,” Wildmon said. “Rather, this misguided and reckless policy provides a possible gateway for predators who are out there.”

I have trouble believing that. Aren't the AFA convinced transgender individuals are possessed by demons or something equally absurd? They've never been known for being rational in their protests, at least.

Who knows, maybe they've reformed some since a few years back when one of them was screaming to all who could hear that the gay agenda was responsible for the holocaust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Fischer

So even when they explicitly tell you what they think, you still don't believe them?

Actually its pretty easy here when people try to justify discriminating against trans people by drumming up fears of sexual predators.

[TITAN308]

So I'm curious, if you are transgender.... and doing it right, wouldn't people basically not notice because you look like the appropriate gender in the appropriate bathroom?

Or are there people who legitimately claim (for example) they are a transgender female but still look like this?
