What’s Going on in the Macys Near You?

Details

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Macys in Texas that fired a Christian employee because she refused to allow a ‘transgender woman’ to use the women’s fitting room.  The 27 year old San Antonio College student said the person claimed to be  a woman, but it was quite evident it was a man in makeup and woman’s clothing.  Now the report of another such incident has arisen.  What about Pennsylvania’s Macys stores? Is it safe for a woman or young girl to go into one of their fitting rooms?  Apparently Macys has an anti-discrimination policy which includes “gender identity.”

FYI- In municipalities which have passed so-called anti-discrimination ordinances with “gender identity,” “transgender women” can use the fitting rooms in ALL the department stores even if that particular store does not have an “anti-discrimination” policy.

Action Steps

1.)  You can contact a Macys near you and ask if it is safe for women and girls to use the women’s fitting room in their store.  Click here for a list of all of Pennsylvania’s Macys stores and their phone numbers.
