Conservative Group 'Testing' Target By Sending Men To Women's Bathrooms

god bless America

The American Family Association has been "testing" Target's new policy allowing employees and customers to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity by sending men to women's bathrooms, according to the conservative group's director of governmental affairs, Sandy Rios.

"I think there’s no question that when you say that there are no barriers in the bathroom, and that if men or women feel like they are men or women, the opposite of however they are equipped, and you have no restrictions, the net effect will be, people will not be stopped," Rios told "Breitbart News Daily" on Monday. "We’ve already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier."

Eventually some one is going to get killed or shot in a restroom by some loon who thinks they are standing their ground. All made possible by stupid RW lawmakers.

"Identifying" as a woman doesn't mean "I feel feminine today" or crap like that. It means seeing yourself as female, dressing as female, looking female. A bearded guy going into a woman's restroom is a bearded guy, not a transgender woman. However, that bearded guy MIGHT be a transgender man, and you should let him go into the men's room. Sheesh.

They don't believe there should be any physical or aesthetic limitations to being (i.e. identifying as) a woman. What does a woman "dress like"?

The more time these guys spend in the women's restroom, the less time they'll spend on more important issues.

The faster this case will go to SCOTUS. And SCOTUS almost never rules in favor of religion. I say let these morons have their restrooms. They'll keep making themselves look foolish.

your local Burger King, Town Hall, Wal-Mart, library nor anyone else with public bathrooms has potty police checking your crotch when you have to pee.

Now, I'm guessing any guy doing this "test" will eventually run into a women's room with a Skittles or two in it and regret the day he first tried on a skirt.

Or anybody else for that matter. Hopefully, Target holds firm in spite of this lunacy

tries to use the "well, I felt female today," I think the proper response should be

"Well, let's see if we can change that..."


and kick him in the balls.
