Sweat Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 https://corporate.target.com/article/2015/08/gender-based-signs-corporate This makes me really happy. The last thing we really want is people, especially kids, to feel limited with the toys they want to buy just because of their gender. What do you guys think of this? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This might make it harder to find one specific item, but it's still good. Kids should be able to play with whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less_SpongeBob Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I only go to the toy section at target for Lego stuff, and the girls and boy's things haven't been seperate in forever. Of course this is a great move, it allows for more freedom for evetyone to not feel totally embarrassed. Being trans myself it means quite a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWM Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Now kids can play with whatever interests them instead of what's in their pants. Smart move I must say. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illiniguy34 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I whole heartedly agree with this decision, even if I don't buy what would considered girl toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpongeyKid Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It provides more freedom/options for the kids and what they wanna buy, so great decision by Target. It's setting an example for every other store out there that has gender specific signs. Who knows, maybe other big named places will follow along with Target. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.V.I.L. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yay now kids can explore what they want to explore and not have stupid archaic gender roles shoved down them woot! (lol @ people in comments whining) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigOcean Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 In my opinion this allows for kids to have a better selection of Toys because as a kid they have an amazing imagination so I mean if a boy wants a Barbie House for an amazing Toy Soldier fort the by all means let him.

Less_SpongeBob Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So does this mean anything for their online site? I just checked it out and the gender divisions are still intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylie Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So does this mean anything for their online site? I just checked it out and the gender divisions are still intact. I'm thinking it will take time to remove gendered labels from the Target website, as well as from every Target world-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverGreen Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm just thinking that people who do physical role-playing games with toys (it's a thing, look it up!) Will now be able to buy toys with feminine features WITHOUT having to feel awkward about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crushingmayhem Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 They made an interesting move, if its successful other stores will follow suit. I can't imagine that happening here though since it would spark outrage. But still, I wonder what will the consequences of this be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elastic Dawg Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Good on 'em, even if I couldn't care less. Let kids play with whatever the fuck they want, not my business. Children suck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
