Target announced a new policy this week. Well, really not a new policy. A policy that until some recent inane legislation was unnecessary.
The policy is this: People may use the appropriate restroom.
All people.
Women — including Muslim women, Christian women, lesbians, transwomen, handicapped women and other women not already listed — may use the women’s room. Men should use the men’s room.
They should have added, “When you’re using our restroom, please mind your own damn business, not everyone else’s.”
Well, they didn’t enumerate, but I thought I would, because people are having conniptions and threatening boycotts against the company, because Target provides restrooms for all of their customers to use. Knowing the bigots are boycotting and will be staying away should make your Target shopping experience even nicer.
Here’s an example of the stupidity coming from Twitter:
You do that Sassy. How dare Target allow someone other than your daughter into their Sassy’s daughter room.
Maybe.
Mia, I don’t know about all Targets, but the one at CityPlace in Dallas has one dressing area for men and women. You choose a dressing room, close and lock the door behind you, try on your clothes and then leave. I assume in the women’s restroom, it’s pretty much the same thing. Go in, pick a stall, lock the door, pee, flush, leave.
Tyler, Texas pride and joy and brain trust of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Louie Gohmert, declared he’ll never shop in Target again, according to The Hill. More reasons to shop at Target. No threat of ever meeting Gohmert there.
Aimee D summed it up best on Twitter:
Let’s be honest here, the folks boycotting Target for its bathroom policy are the ones shopping at Walmart in their pajamas anyway.
I just have one question: Why are people such fucking idiots when it comes to peeing?
I peed in Target and no one died
