Yeah, I generally just use it when talking about trans issues like the current bathroom debate, which I get pulled into a lot since I work at a Target.

My condolences - it's totally not fair that your stores have been the whipping boys for a decent policy that pretty much every major retailer shares.

I'm sure you have the number to corporate public relations memorized by now. Any kind of craziness happened at your store besides the guy who threatened Target a few weeks ago?

Nah, just one person threatening that we'd lose the hundreds of dollars(his words, not mine) he spends here when I told him that even if I agreed with him I couldn't do anything since it's corporate policy. I think we're missing the brunt of it since it's Denny Hastert's hometown and it's hard to call trans people the real threat with what's been going on with him unless you have your head super far up your rear end.

First off.

Can we please stop acting like Glenn Beck is a historian? I know no one here does, but his understanding of american history is so corrupt and wrong it's laughable.

Glenn, The founder's would all loving hate your rear end. Also I'm getting really tired of you insulting Teddy Roosevelt.* Go to hell.

Second off.

By all means Glenn? Feel free to create some sort of bizarre Ayn Rand/Freedom USA-Town in a place like South America or some other place like that. That's not insane or anything.


*If there's criticism of Rosevelt being racist like pretty much every president before and after him? By all means, criticize him. But that's not what Beck cares about.

He finally has a good comparison with what he and his ilk are like. The pilgrims "fled" places that just wouldn't only cater to them and so therefore went to America to found a colony where only they would matter.

Fox News Sunday was pretty great this morning and got even better when Obama's new policy for schools was brought up on the panel. Brit Hume looked like he was about to punch someone, it was beautiful. I highly recommend watching the VOD when it's available. I'll post it if I find it.

Sadly, this can be spun by RWM as "Concerned citizen uses their 2nd amendment rights to defend innocents from a dangerous pervert" rather than "bigoted woman creates a confrontation that didn't need to happen where she gets to shoot an unarmed person that is of the current group that she is afraid of".

The Pilgrims landed in the vast wilderness of existing European colonies, American Indian towns and American Indian confederacies. Truly the hardest lot.

For the record, transgender women frequently get assaulted when using men's bathrooms. Which is ironic as conservatives are trying to force them to use men's bathrooms to prevent children from getting molested by them, which never happens. I guess it's more idiotic than ironic.

It's only stupid if your goal is to prevent molestations and to maximize the safety of all involved. In this case, transgender people being assaulted and harassed is the feature to them, not a bug. They do not actually give a poo poo about the hypothetical molestations (if they did, they'd ban Republican congressmen from all restrooms).

Didn't see it on snopes, and its not embellished enough to seem like STDH.

But I'd not be surprised to see this get reported somewhere more mainstream, if you can call Breibart mainstream. It's kind of a perfect storm.

I think it's more a simple matter of people thinking that our safety doesn't really matter (cf the comments on that article)

[edit: what Dirk said actually. For the religious right who are pushing this hard, the logic is that this is a lifestyle choice and in fact the harbinger of the end times. If they make being trans more dangerous and difficult, then apparently more of us will repent and stop behaving so sinfully]

quote:

A mother who was apparently angered over Target’s vow to allow transgender customers to use bathrooms and fitting rooms that correspond to their gender identity went marching through a store while waving a Bible. A video of the woman’s loud protest was posted to YouTube. The woman was not named but appears to have her family in tow.

“Attention Target customers,” she yelled. “Do not be deceived, Target would have you believe with their Mother’s Day displays that they love mothers and children. This is a deception. This is not love, and they’ve proven it by opening their bathrooms to perverted men. I’m a mother of 12 and I’m very disgusted by this wicked practice.”

maybe but some nut shooting up a bathroom in a crowed target might epcialy if their was a body count would make the news.


the mother looks like my gf least from behind. mostly the hair style/length. she also comes from a very religious background too (Mennonite) but doesnt believe any of this weird poo poo. other then that also that bible looks tacky. I expect this is gonna be what most of the protests are now.

Pretty much anywhere? When I worked in a bookstore the majority of the bibles had HOLY BIBLE on the front (though usually in much smaller characters than that).
