Target's new open bathroom policy, where to go from here?

How about you save bathroom use for your house and go to Target when you want to shop, if you are so terrified of going to the bathroom in public?

As many of you probably now know, Target has a new "open bathroom" policy where anyone can go into the bathroom of the gender they identify with, regardless of their biological sex. This is clearly ridiculous. So I came up with an idea:

All of the people, particularly men, who can see how ridiculous this is, should go on a strict diet of only Mexican food. Then, when it comes time to poo, go to Target and do it in the women's bathroom, and then don't flush. Repeat this many times over several weeks.

This will lead to a disgusting stench in all the target women's bathrooms, and everything will be straightened out soon.

Let's do this across the whole country.

Let's do it!!! I can\'t wait to see all the liberals whining on TV about this. They would probably come up with some buzzword for it, like "poop-shaming" or "taco terrorism." Hahahaha

Get a group of 5 guys together and sit in the women's bathroom stalls all day eating fiber one bars and pooping and farting all day.

Your plan would violate their new policy. Try again.

Your comfort should be just as important as a transperson's. Equal rights, not extra rights. Comfort is a state of mind. Let's see them prove you're not more comfortable in the ladies room.

I'm a woman and I say go for it.

What's the big deal? At home the whole family shares the same bathroom and often at the same time. Get over it.

So, on the grounds that this measure is inappropriate and could potentially create unsettling situations for women and young girls, you want men all over the country bring their penises into the women's bathroom and take the most disgusting dumps possible?

Just more proof that those who are obsessed with the bathroom habits of transgender people are primarily motivated by spite rather than some deep concern for women.

So you want to encourage men all over the country to go and deliberately harrass and make women in bathroom's feel uncomfortable, because you are worried transexuals minding their own business might make some women feel uncomfortable. Makes sense.

99% of transexual/gender men dress like women, wear makeup and act feminine because they want to be women... clearly not there to harass and rape.

Apart from a Twitter storm this might make, who really cares? Maybe some busy bodies will do a small protest outside a couple stores etc. But prices are low and there's bigger problems in America. Take a dump at home.

Whatever gender someone identify as should be on thier drivers license/ID.

So if some dude wants to go through all that trouble just to take a dump in the ladies room at Target, then that's OK with me.

God forbid my eight year old niece (born a boy) have the right to use the woman's bathroom at Target because she identifies as a girl. Why is there so much hatred put towards those just minding their own business? Literally all trans people want to be respected and allowed to live their lives without prejudice just as you and I do. No trans people are harassing me for being cisgendered. This new policy hurts no one at all. All you would do is end up harassing woman in the way you fear trans people will.

Please educate yourself on the reality of gender dysphoria and understand that these people are not doing anything for attention or faking a transition to attack other people. Real psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, doctors and various professionals who create the DSM V say that it is a real thing. All these people want are to be respected and allowed to live their lives without harassment.

And if you still think trans people deserve to be harassed the way you plan to do, read this link (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unlawfully_killed_transgender_people) and see what kind of further behavior your thinking creates.

There have been transgender persons forever and this was never been an issue until liberals made it an issue. If you looked mostly female and acted discretely you would have had no problem using the women's restroom.

The issue is now people who look male and who want to make it obvious they are male demand to use the women's restroom and showers.

+1

I haven't heard of any cases of transgender people causing harassment in bathrooms. Only of transgender people being harassed.

Or dodgy old blokes who don't care for the law/establishment rules and would be hanging around anyway, who are just asked to leave.

It is illegal to harass or cause alarm to anyone in any place, these rules don't legalise that.

I brought this up in the last thread on this matter, but why should this guy:

Have to use the ladies?

That is the reality of transgender people.

This is as freaky as lesbians showering in women showers at Gyms. Sorry you make me uncomfortable-just as uncomfortable as I would be with a guy in the women's shower. This damn PC is going too far! And yup I am liberal and proud of it instead of a dumb ass repubtard whose values and ideals, if you can call it that, is exploding in his face throughout the country.

Is this a troll post? Or sarcasm?

Lesbians make you uncomfortable in the gym showers?

How can you tell they are lesbians... You do realise not everyone is out to shag you?

A liberal person is open to different ideas...

Tomorrow the only thing I'm doing is eating chipotle burritos and pooping its gonna be a great day.

You obviously have no common sense. It's child abuse to convince or allow an eight year old to believe that they are a different sex than they are. You're giving the kid a mental disorder or enabling one that's already there.

I also like how you included the standard lie about hatred because

1) Look at how despicably you act towards your own nephew

2) It's OK for women to be concerned about their safety with men around, especially in a place where they're more vulnerable

3) It's not hatred to say that it's common sense that men use the men's room and women use the women's room.

4) It's also not hatred to say that a man who believes he is a woman is wrong and mentally "off." Saying this is normal is not helping these people. If anything you not having the courage to go against the groupthink and actually care for the person instead of your own perceived popularity comes closest to hatred or at least malicious indifference.

I refuse to go along with whatever groupthink you try to foist on everyone else with your hyperbolic accusations of hatred. If you have ever seen "news" from the old Pravda (official communist party paper in the Soviet Union) they used the same type of tactic to advance their lies. Accuse the other person of hatred, regardless of the truth. I'm not buying it.

Time has passed you by, I'm afraid. Give your grandkids a call and ask how they feel about it. Times have changed.

Humor my devil's advocacy for a moment...

Let's assume there are 1000 genes involved in defining biological sex. Might be more, might be less, but there are a lot.

It's likely that just one or a few genes are goofed up in a biological male that identities as female.

The vast majority of his genes scream "male".

What if a method/treatment were discovered to fix the abberant gene(s)?

I'm just curious why we treat the condition with a women's wardrobe instead of trying to actually treat the underlying issue? Why is that one gene right and the other 999 wrong?

...where to go from here?
