Target’s Plan to End Customers’ Boycott Over Transgender Bathroom Policy Still Gives Men Access to Girls’ Facilities
Chain store giant Target is responding to the ongoing boycott against its stores over its transgender bathroom policy, which allows customers who are men based on their birth sex to use women’s bathrooms and dressing rooms, by announcing it will install single-toilet bathrooms.
CNNMoney reported on Wednesday that the company is planning to spend $20 million to expand its bathroom options at all of its U.S. stores, aimed at providing customers the option to use single-toilet bathrooms away from public facilities.
Target CFO Cathy Smith admitted on Wednesday that the company “has heard objections” to its transgender bathroom policy, but also insisted other customers had voiced support. In response, the retail giant said that the planned single-toilet bathrooms will be offered to any costumers who need privacy, including parents with small children.

What Target perceives as a solution, however, doesn’t address their policy of allowing men to go into women’s dressing rooms or the women’s bathrooms.

The conservative group had warned that the policy “is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims. And with Target publicly boasting that men can enter women’s bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?” it asked.

Walker Wildmon, assistant to the AFA president, said that Target’s latest move is not sufficient to fully protect customers.
