So many levels of stuff wrong with these bigoted ideas.<br /><br />You are more likely to be sexually assaulted in the dark and not-closely-monitored parking garage than in the brightly lit fitting room in the store full of people and security cameras, no matter who is allowed into the fitting room area (the area outside the fitting rooms is often heavily covered by the cameras for loss prevention purposes). Tons of video and possible witnesses in the fitting room area of a big department store.<br /><br />A transsexual/transvestite/manly-looking woman using a fitting room does not increase the chances of a woman being sexually assaulted. From what I have read, most male-to-female transsexuals are attracted to men. The idea that a man who is attracted to woman will pose as a woman to gain access to women in a fitting room sounds like the plot to a horrible movie to me.<br /><br />Most importantly, LGBT people are no more likely to be sexual predators than straight people. (Heck, I bet they are even less likely because they have to be more careful because of the stigma and laws could cause them to face the harshest punishment the law allows.)<br /><br />It is not like they have the old style, one big room style fitting rooms either, so nobody is gaining easy access to anyone else. I think they even have doors with locks instead of curtains (not a frequent Macy's shopper since I am too poor to buy their stuff, but I may at least look for something for myself there while Christmas shopping in support of their decision). If I am behind a locked door I don't care about the physical gender or sexual desires of the person in the locked box next to me, though whoever they are they would likely have their face smashed with my (usually very heavy) purse if they are rude and peek over into my stall. <br /><br />I could go on and on about this issue because religious jerks claiming their religious beliefs should trump all else really piss me off. What if I claimed my religious beliefs allowed me to smack the crap out of bigots?<br /><br />What I have issue with is the moms who bring their kids into the fitting rooms or bathrooms with the stalls you can peek under who don't stop their kids from peeking.b-chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560122365129907483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-49712819136886643142011-12-14T20:43:48.471-08:002011-12-14T20:43:48.471-08:00The Liberty Counsel [sic] is bending over backward...The Liberty Counsel [sic] is bending over backwards to create outrage. Macy's, thankfully, does not have those awful "gang" dressing rooms, where everybody must disrobe and try on clothes in front of everybody else. They are a higher-quality department store so their ladies' dressing rooms are like little closets with curtains instead of doors. Surely a trans-woman could try on clothes under such circumstances with no one being the wiser. It really seems to me that no Macy's employee of reasonably good mental health should take it upon herself to verify the sex of any customer in a private dressing room like these.Mary in Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-49194622282013294352011-12-14T19:26:21.823-08:002011-12-14T19:26:21.823-08:00Yeah, I smell a rat too.

Kind of ridiculous waste of resources if you ask me. <br /><br />Make em' unisex and be done with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-5488265369928086122011-12-14T15:36:34.061-08:002011-12-14T15:36:34.061-08:00Too bad that anyone with the Interwebs and a brain...Too bad that anyone with the Interwebs and a brain can check to see that Macy's stock has actually been on the rise since September.<br /><br />And it's been relatively stable, with no major downward trends, since the announcement.<br /><br />http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/mXaratherushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819136532614504640noreply@blogger.com
