A fake customer service account, pretending to be US superstore Target, has been putting transphobic people in their place.

The store introduced an inclusive restroom and changing room policy last month, which allowed trans people to use the facilities of the gender they identified with. Since then, it has faced a barrage of abuse and threatened with several boycotts. Taking to social media, a number of small minded individuals have attacked the store for its policy and said that they no longer plan to shop there. This is where 'Target Customer Service' steps in.

The parody account has been putting people in their place and it's hilarious.

I truly love the humorous responses to these. They did the same thing when Target decided to de-gender their toys etc.

The  internet "boycoters" better get prepared to stop doing business at Barnes & Noble, Toys R Us and Wallgreens:
