Men can now use women's restrooms at Target

Rape is a real concern as those who want to gain access to women will abuse these rules. A case in point.

This is a major political debate in Australia at the moment... government wants to bring in the "Safe Schools" programme which would overtly teach kids that they should be gay... in lessons parents can't opt them out of because they're not classified under "sex ed" but "anti-bullying" and PhysEd. My sister's senior college (that's year 10-12 here) had the "Safe Schools" programme and she was bullied a lot for being Christian... by a trans boy... who she was afraid to report to the gay deputy principle because she knew she'd just be told to "be less judgemental". Not that she was antagonising him or anything - she just kept her head down and tried to do her schoolwork, and he'd come over to her and start. Thankfully the school hadn't gone so far as to allow trans people to use their non-biological toilets, because I have no doubt he would have followed her in there, too.

A good homeschooled friend of mine who now works as an SSO in a public high school was ranting and raving about the "Safe Schools" programme the other day. The problem is that it's being sold as "anti-bullying education" and a lot of people are letting it through without looking because of that. But she said she'd been doing actual anti-bullying stuff with the kids, an exercise where they were shown pictures and asked to describe what was happening in each situation... there were a couple that the girls identified immediately as "sexual harassment". I'm talking twelve- and thirteen-year-old girls - the same age the "Safe Schools" programme would have students look through sex ads in newspapers (see this article).

So she was saying "these girls are already old enough to look at a situation and say it's sexual harassment - the toilets are their safe place now. If they think they're being sexually harassed, and boys can use girls' toilets, then they have no safe place to hide. The big problem with this toilet thing, for teachers, is that there's no way of monitoring it. A teenage boy could wake up one morning and go 'okay, I'm a girl today, I'm going to use the girls' toilets', and we'd have no way of stopping him, because we'd have to be politically correct." (I mean, she's a Christian, obviously she has other objections to it, too, but she knows that to get the education department to listen she's got to argue it their way).

Thankfully we have a fairly strong Christian and conservative representation in parliament - the reason "Safe Schools" was dismissed about a month ago was because they had lobbied against it and parliament pulled an all-nighter to argue it out. But now, as you saw in the article I linked earlier, there are "Safe Schools by another name" programmes which are trying to make headway.

You might check out Family Voice Australia for their ongoing coverage of the Target saga. I think they've organised a boycott.

Thank you for that link, Rachel. It's a battle against satanic demons going on around the world.
