A video showing a woman storming through a Target store in Glenn Falls, N.Y. has become a viral sensation. In the video, the woman is seen holding a bible, and immediately starts shouting at shoppers and employees in protest against the decision made by Target to allow transgender customers to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. While she walks around the store, you can hear "God is angry at Target for allowing men to use the little girl's room." She continued to shout as she marched around the registers and then exited the store. During her time in the store, she also has stated that "All Target shoppers should save their money and go shopping at other stores, and Target employees should find a new job."

Target has not yet made any statements regarding the video.

The controversy started when North Carolina Legislature passed a bill requiring transgender Americans to use the restroom of their birth gender which according to some, posed safety issues for the transgender community, posed safety issues for the general community, and called for boycotts by other states urging residents not to travel to North Carolina. The issue has caused a division among the public and social media has been pushing the issue on both ends.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant.
