Macy’s, the retailer, put specific transgender-related policies, which grant access to fitting rooms and restrooms of transitioning employees’ choice, in place in 2006. “We offered special training in intimate apparel departments for sales associates to help transgender individuals with fittings,” Beth Charlton of Macy’s corporate communications department tells us. “We also have offered training to our store managers, law department, and human resources regarding our transgender policy.” The company has also recruited for transgender employees in its San Francisco stores. “At every level of our company, we recognize the value that different perspectives bring to our business, and we celebrate the unique characteristics and strengths of each associate.”

This is awesome, but I’m actually reposting it because I was shopping at Macy’s day before yesterday. I was in the men’s...
I worked at Macys last year, and I worked in the intimates department occasionally and they gave me this training.
i thought it was moreso an employee being an ignorant asshole than the store itself
Are you kidding me? Oh my god. Sue that Macy’s, I would.
Macy’s knows what’s up.
If this is true, then I shall shop at their expensive store.
