An anti-LGBT group is "testing" Target's bathroom policy.

The American Family Association, which is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has been sending cisgender men into women's restrooms at the retail chain.

Previously, the AFA had organized a boycott of Target, which allows customers and employees to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity. The policy is a slap back at North Carolina's anti-LGBT law prohibiting transgender people from using the appropriate facilities for their identity, although the law applies only to government buildings, not private-sector companies.

The group, which contends Target's policy opens the bathroom floodgates to sexual predators, claims to have enlisted over 1 million people to join its boycott.

Sandy Rios, AFA's director of governmental affairs, revealed its new anti-LGBT tactic in a Monday radio interview with Breitbart News.

"We've already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier," she told host Stephen Bannon, who said "decent, hard-working people who don't want their 4-year-old daughter to have to go into a bathroom with a guy with a beard in a dress."

"The chief concern, even more than just, I think, trauma, certainly for little girls of having men dressed like women coming in their bathrooms, the chief concern of the American Family Association is the predators who will take advantage," Rios concluded.
