As a fellow mom, I want to express my appreciation for you—not just as a retailer, but for the values you uphold. Your commitment to inclusivity for both customers and employees is truly commendable.
On April 19, you reaffirmed your policy allowing transgender individuals to use the restrooms and fitting rooms that align with their gender identity, becoming the first major retailer to take such a bold public stance. While your actions have sparked significant discussion, including protests and calls for boycotts, I stand firmly with you.
Thank you for remaining steadfast amid the challenges. Your dedication to creating a safe environment for everyone—customers and employees alike—is something to celebrate.
The Statistics Surrounding the Transgender Community
The statistics surrounding the transgender community are alarming. A recent survey revealed that:
- 90% of transgender individuals experience harassment or discrimination at work.
- 29% have faced mistreatment from law enforcement.
- 57% report family rejection.
- The unemployment rate for transgender people is double that of the general population, with people of color facing even higher rates.
- Tragically, eight transgender individuals have been murdered this year alone, three of whom were in Texas.
Your ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, along with your clear message that “everyone deserves to feel like they belong,” is crucial in these times.
I also want to thank you for making quality products accessible to families like mine. From stylish clothing to essentials, your stores have everything I need—be it a birthday gift, cleaning supplies, or even a much-needed coffee from Starbucks. Plus, I can always count on your friendly staff to brighten my shopping experience.
Most importantly, I appreciate that you are a leader in the fight for social justice, making this queer mom feel valued and secure.
