Target, one of the nation’s largest retailers, ignited a firestorm recently when it announced that “transgender team members and guests” are welcome to use the fitting rooms and bathrooms of their chosen “gender identity” rather than their biological sex. “Inclusivity is a core belief at Target,” the company said, and “everyone deserves to feel like they belong.”
Ten years ago, it would have been unthinkable for one of the country’s largest retailers to “celebrate” inclusivity by welcoming biological men into women’s fitting rooms and bathrooms so they could “feel like they belong.”
