Bathroom Drama!

First off, I'm sorry that there was no post on Sunday and that Friday's post was rushed my grandma passed away a few days ago and my heart wasn't into blogging until today. Unless you live under a rock you heard about the bathroom drama going on at Target. Target decided to once again be the best store in retail, they said transgender people can use the bathroom they are most comfortable with not the one they were assigned at birth. As you can imagine people are pissed, to the point they're boycotting Target, but Target isn't backing down. If you know me you know our family spends probably 90% of our money shopping at Target, between Jason and I supporting two different stores we don't have an issue keeping them in business especially now. Not only was this company amazing with the toy section that is slowly growing on me, but is now taking a stand to not just support transgender kids, but adults as well. This is a huge step and honestly a good marketing strategy, transgender people will shop where they feel most comfortable-a place that supports them-Target might be losing bigots, but they're gaining new shoppers and supports will most likely spend more because of this. I know Jason personally went to thank the manager at our local Target and ended up spending money while waiting for him to come up to the front. All in all I think this move will do them some good and really who really keeps up with this boycotting businesses thing? I tried boycotting Walmart once then I needed something only they had and was forced to go back in and it went down hill from there. I guarantee the people "boycotting" will have a similar experience. The other option for this, just don't worry what's in people's pants! Like really if you're that focused what's in someones pants maybe they aren't the ones with issues-YOU ARE! I actually had a grown man ask me if my daughter was born a girl and I told him straight up it was none of his concern you can't just ask someone what's in their pants or their child's but especially a child! I don't know what these people do in bathrooms, but I just go in and do my thing and leave 90% of the time I don't even talk to anyone because it's awkward to talk to people in the bathroom. So all in all, I think Target is making the right decision and will make up for lost revenue in the end. We are definitely team Target in this house.
