Minneapolis, MN-  Target stores will allow transgender employees and customers to use bathroom or fitting room that corresponds with their gender identity.

The national debate is heating up over whether to restrict transgender people from only using public bathrooms that match their gender at birth. The state of North Carolina is facing backlash for its recent ban on local anti-discrimination ordinances.

Target Corp. says it regularly assesses issues and considers many factors that would impact business, customers and workers.
