Shares of Target Corporation Common Stock (TGT) have fallen from $84.14 a share on April 19 to $79.27 a share as of Friday evening, 10 days after the transgender policy was enacted.

The stock price had fallen by 2.52 percent on Friday alone, as of 4 p.m. Ultimately, the drop “would represent a corporate loss of over $2.5 billion,” according to the Family Policy Institute.


Target has seen a dip in people who say they’d consider shopping there the next time they need something, according to data compiled by YouGov BrandIndex, a research company that conducts daily surveys measuring brand perception.

Before Target made its policy public last week, 42% of people said they would consider shopping there the next time they needed something. As of Wednesday, that number had dropped to 38%, which YouGov CEO Ted Marzilli says is a “significant” shift.

I don’t think it’s a statement that people aren’t in favor of equal rights for transgender people,” Marzilli says regarding what the data show. “It shows people just kind of demonstrating that they’re uncomfortable, or uncertain about how comfortable they are, with mixed public restrooms.

Well, we'll see how steadfast Target is about sticking to its guns.

undercover videos show the nonexistent standards and total lack of safety and security for women and girls
This is the stupidest, most asinine, hypocritical thing I've read this week. What do they want, security cameras in the women's restroom? They'd be whining about privacy concerns. F*** off.

Undercover videos in a f***ing women's restroom. Who are the perverts again? Hypocritical wastes of space.

EDIT: Not 100% sure if people above me read the article. This is about people protesting against Target's transgender-inclusive policies.

If transgender is a considered a *** why not just have your own bathroom. Maybe cuz some people dont want to publically come out?
Yes? Duh? It's not your business if someone is transgender and it never will be. Since transgendered people are subject to significantly more violence and discrimination than virtually everyone else, it makes sense that they wouldn't want to have to tell every single person what gender they are or aren't.

This is some hypocritical crap. You can't actually tell if anybody around you is really a boy or a girl unless you were to actually check their genitals. The fact that transgender people make their existence known just makes people insecure about this fact, but it doesn't change the reality that already existed.

Still dont change the fact that transgender is a ***. I understand those complications you listed, but people gotta realize that if you werent born that then youre not that. In order for transgendered to really be united with everything they need theyre own bathrooms and yes people need to accept them.

A girl is uncomfortable with a boy in the wrong bathroom and vice versa.

Sooner or later people gotta realize who they are. What you want is to just do away with *** alltogether and in my opinion that will never work.

How does the fact that transgender people make their existence known just make other people insecure? Isn't the person who goes for a *** change the insecure one clearly denying the gender that your born with? No one is saying that transgender don't get picked on it's 2016 people blaming people for everything it's just a transgender bathroom would make things much more simple.
