Walmart Stays Mum On Transgender Policy

From the New York Daily News:

Walmart, the country’s biggest retailer, is staying silent about its transgender bathroom policies.

The Arkansas-based corporation repeatedly refused to reveal its stance about transgender bathroom use for its shoppers and employees, despite requests by the Daily News every day for the past week.

Inquiries to Walmart’s media relations team were first sent last Tuesday, after The News wrote about a Connecticut woman who said she was harassed in a Walmart bathroom after being mistaken as transgender. Her story earned national attention — but never earned a response from Walmart.

Walmart’s silence puts it in stark contrast with one of its biggest competitors, Target, which emphatically stated last month it supports the right of transgender shoppers and workers to use whichever bathroom they choose.
