It’s K-Mart for rich people...I don’t really have anything against Target. I just can’t afford it.
I've never heard of such a thing. For one thing, K-Mart went under years ago, and Target was one of its principal competitors. Target isn't exactly an upscale store. Cleaner than K-Mart ever was, but the prices are similar. Not at all like Macy's or Harrod's. They don't sell any luxury goods.
They will also have Easter-themed displays for Easter, Halloween costumes in October for All Hallows' Eve, and Christmas merchandise after that.
Does this mean that Target thinks that Christians are stupid?

Perhaps a thread , i could get behind .....!
But must admit based on my experience here in the heartland of the USA ...There does seem to be a Republican
base , evangelicals and the like ....Bible thumpers whom seem to get behind politicians that are outright out to
remove civil rights in the Gay/ Gender community. In this Country. It is discouraging that these people so admantly try to quell voices of people whom they seemed determined to disadvantage . Have seen this repeatedly personally and it makes me ill , to think taxes I pay in this State for anything,Goes to promoting these Monsters agendas or policies . Even the peoples whom form support groups here are so terribly ineffectual . 
But am quite sure that there maybe some closeted supporters of these causes. ??????? 
(Please: do not speculate that anything written here is anti Christian , in any way.) Just pressing for fair behaviour.

Well, according to Jesus,
there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
For Christians, doing something "for the kingdom of heaven's sake" would be the moral thing to do.
So, I suppose that we suddenly became moral (from a Christian perspective) by granting special protections to trans people, perhaps providing that the transformation involved removal of the testes/penis.
This was a shift from
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

Why? "Many reasons..."
The gotcha is you rightly suspect something is wrong with the answer, so you refuse to give one.
You seem to be expecting something complicated to be broken down into a one line response. Badgering that I won't do so demonstrates that bad faith motives your question.
It's not a very good gotcha because most people understand what groups might count and how there's multiple factors in play that contribute.
But, for some examples, racism contributes to the marginalization of ethnic minority communities, sexism contributes to the marginalization of women, homophobia and transphobia contribute to the marginalization of queer peoples, etc.
Are you going to insist those groups aren't marginalized or can you concede to reality now?
Playing dumb in regards to reality isn't the same debunking it.

I’m not the one refusing to answer some questions. What are some specific reasons why trans people feel marginalized?
