Target was already facing calls for a boycott over “tuck-friendly” bathing suits and chest binders for “transgender” children, and now it has been revealed they are selling clothing items from a creepy satanic transgender designer that promotes drugs and violence.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
The brand in question, Abprallen, was created by a biological woman who identifies as a man and uses the name “Erik Callen.”
Target is selling Abprallen We Belong Everywhere messenger bags, Too Queer For Here messenger bags, and Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People sweatshirts.
Target said in the description for the items:
All items were designed for all bodies, regardless of gender identity and presentation.
We added design features to help make the fit customizable for you.
Our hope is for all guests to find clothing that makes them feel comfortable and affirmed in their identity.
We understand that fit is incredibly important and will continue to evolve and improve on fit needs for the LGBTQIA+ Community.
Target credits the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network for helping place these items on their shelves.
Target’s descriptions on the Abprallen items reads:
GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students.
We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission.

Callen wrote of the partnership:
Available in Target stores and on their website.
When they approached me to design a range for Pride, I realized that I had an opportunity to create something huge, I was given a chance to make work that would be seen by countless people and I wanted to ensure that any young people who saw Abprallen in Target would know that who they are is beautiful, purposeful, and worth expressing.
The artist made it clear that her designs are aimed at youth.
I imagined what it would be like for a younger version of myself to see something more specific, more tailor made than a lacklustre rainbow flag.
I wanted to create a range that would embrace younger me and tell him that who he is more than OK, that being trans is special and wonderful and that the closet is not made for him to thrive in.
Callen also boasted about upsetting people with the designs.
She/He wrote:
These have already got the transphobes infuriated with me and I feel like quite the celebrity to think that they believe this is all some big conspiracy and I have any power to brainwash anyone when I’m just some guy drawing pictures!
The artist was correct.
"This has been so hard to keep quiet but I can now proudlv announce that vou can buy Abprallen in US Targets!"
"So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBTQIA+ people."@target has some explaining to do🤷🏽♀️ pic.twitter.com/rbrLgdwb0O

As if the items stocked by Target weren’t odd enough, looking at the Abprallen Instagram page shocked and disgusted many conservatives who had begun looking into the company’s partnership with the retail giant.
Abprallen sells a pin with a weapon that says, “We Bash Back.” And a guillotine design says “Homophobic headrest.”
"Time's Up For Transphobes"
"Sorry Your Cis"
"We BASH Back"
Me thinks the trans cult/sex religion is sending us a message😳 pic.twitter.com/ZNPPVBuEBg— Scarlett Johnson (@scarlett4kids) May 21, 2023
In the description for an item that says “Burn down the cis-tem” over a lit lighter, Callen wrote:
We don’t need to restructure it, we need to burn it down and start up again in a system that doesn’t police gender or expression—a world that allows exploration, changing our minds, dressing how we want to, taking up the space we need, being treated as we deserve.
We need to burn down the cis-tem and create a world where trans people don’t get to just live, but get to absolutely thrive.
Final thoughts: The process used to be called ‘Coming out.’ Now it is called ‘Burning down the house.’
We the People may have finally reached the time for white cis males and females to declare something amazing and demand the nation take notice.
Perhaps the promise: Back off with all your insane sh*t and we’ll return our beloved country to being the greatest nation on earth.
