Target was the first company to ‘whip it out’ so to speak and declare it would allow its transgender employees and customers to choose the restroom and fitting room that corresponded to their gender identity. Though this surely was a step in the left direction many claimed it simply wasn’t enough. Sure, their stock tanked. Of course they were boycotted. Naturally, they lost millions of customers and dollars. But they know what they did was right for every American.
Now that a few years have passed it looks like Target is back to improving society in a more fabulous way. Head of Target’s HR Dept. Caitlin Jenner, and head of their PR Dept. Laverne Cox have teamed up to get Target “Back on Target” for 2020 and beyond.
Starting this week, all employees will be required to answer a simple question as part of their new program. Q1) Are you incredibly happy right now? I mean like super happy? Q2) See Q1. If the answer was Yes, the employee was referred for counseling. If no, they were scheduled to begin transitioning and scheduled for surgery.
Next week, at checkout, all customers will be given the opportunity to donate $1 to the Ronald McDonald House or begin transitioning hormones and surgery.
Not Satire:
Target’s top executive dismissed the social media uproar over the retailer’s new line of LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing, saying that marketing the products are good for business and “the right thing for society.”
Outraged shoppers posted videos and images on social media showing bathing suits that offer “extra crotch coverage” as well as rainbow-colored onesies for infants and children.
Other offerings that raised conservative hackles include T-shirts that say “Pride Adult Drag Queen ‘Katya,’” “Trans people will always exist!” and “Girls Gays Theys.”
