Spokesman-Review, The (Spokane, WA) - July 18, 2016

 

Letters Address park bathrooms I am writing in regards to my concern about the bathrooms in most, if not all, Spokane parks. There are no doors for privacy. With the new ruling on bathroom use, a man or woman who deems they are not that sex for that day can pop into any one of these bathrooms and take advantage, especially with the lack of privacy.And please consider the tourists who visit our beautiful city. What a travesty for them when they visit our parks.

Privacy Begone! Balduck Park's New Restroom Has No Doors



By Curbed Jun 17, 2015, 6:55pm  11 comments

The new Balduck Park restroom has no sinks, no mirrors, no hand driers and no doors. We repeat: No doors. Awkward! It does provide toilet paper (maybe?), two steel, self-composting toilets and a solar panel roof.

The bane of thrones is part of the Detroit park's $2.7 million makeover and the funky brainchild of the city of Detroit's General Services Department. The stark, open space was specially created to deter vandalism and scrappers, and help protect children from becoming trapped or a victim of crime. It's a well-meaning and so-far-successful idea that is slated for installation in other renovated Detroit parks. - Leslie Youngblood

Franklin Graham once again takes aim at Target after transgender woman arrested for voyeurism

American City Business Journals • July 18, 2016  By Jen Wilson

Charlotte evangelist Franklin Graham has taken to social media once again to flame Target Corp. over its policy allowing transgender individuals to use the restroom according to their gender identity. "I wouldn’t be surprised if people started dumping their stock, and they should!" He urged followers to join a boycott of the retailer and sign a petition from the American Family Association.  Read more...

Target managers face disciplinary action for 'mind-blowingly stupid' scheme

Wesfarmers says fewer than 10 people were involved in artificially boosting the retailer’s first-half earnings
Three senior Target employees have resigned over the accounting practices scandal so far.

Australian Associated Press  Monday 11 April 2016 05.29 EDT  Last modified on Monday 4 July 2016 00.37 EDT

Three senior Target managers have quit and several more face disciplinary action after doing something the managing director of owner Wesfarmers called “mind-blowingly stupid”.

They artificially boosted the retailer’s earnings by arranging rebates with 31 overseas suppliers for the first half of the 2016 financial year on the promise the retailer would pay higher prices in the second half. That means Target was not on the cusp of a turnaround, as first thought.

Australian Associated Press
Target managing director resigns after investigation into accounting practices
Friday 8 April 2016 21.21 EDT

Snipped

The Target boss, Stuart Machin, has quit his position with immediate effect as investigations continue into allegations the department store artificially boosted profits via deals with suppliers.  In an announcement released to the Australian Stock Exchange on Friday, Machin said he was “dismayed to learn of the accounting issues” and had decided to resign.

Wesfarmers – which owns the Target business – is investigating allegations that Target used supplier rebate deals to artificially boost its earnings for the first half of 2015-16.

Target closing 13 stores nationwide citing falling profits

http://www.wktv.com/news/Target_closing_13_stores_nationwide_citing_falling_profits.html

ME  :,

May explain why Target created "bathroom policy" or a welcome mat to peepers. IMO

Why else would TGT be so desperate to welcome men into a women's bathroom and changing room?  IMO

Is the bathroom policy a gimmick to attract men into the store to boost sales? Target is a desperate corporation. IMO

Birth certificates
a new front in battle for transgender rights

The News Tribune By Carol Marbin Miller and Mary Ellen Klas  July 15, 2016 9:11 PM

 

- Some Floridians petition to change names – and sex – in public record
- Among recent applicants: Broward teen, prisoner serving life
- With state taking stand, cases sometimes have become contentious.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

The nation’s war over gender roles and sexuality is moving from banquet halls, bakeries and bathrooms into a new arena: birth certificates.

In courthouses across Florida, judges are being asked to decide whether transgender people may change not only the name on their birth certificate, but also their “gender marker,” or the box that designates their sex. The requests have become increasingly common, say lawyers who litigate such cases.

And they’ve become increasingly contentious.

Not sure how to put this.....but I think that the school systems in all affected States will have to build single stall
bathrooms.  A little 7 year old girl should not have to face a bathroom with 12 year old boys who decide that they
are "female" today.  My child would be terrified.  Better stop here....

Federal Transgender Bathroom Access Guidelines Blocked by Judge

By ERIK ECKHOLM and ALAN BLINDERAUG. 22, 2016

A federal judge on Sunday blocked the Obama administration from enforcing new guidelines that were intended to expand restroom access for transgender students across the country.

Judge Reed O’Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas said in a 38-page ruling, which he said should apply nationwide, that the government had not complied with federal law when it issued “directives which contradict the existing legislative and regulatory text.” Read more...
