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 theres 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. "Weve already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier."

(42,224 posts)"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.

(43,049 posts)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.
