Yep. Divide 192 by 120 (total number of CA legislators). Sounds about right.

WOW
Because an 8 year old asked a dumb question?

I bet 8 year olds are not their primary customers.

When 8 year olds start doing all of the buying, then they MIGHT listen to 8 year olds.

This is RIDICULOUS.

So then , while this is targeted at children’s items, will this extend to the women’s department and men’s department in stores? Will it eventually be illegal to have racks of dresses in a separate section? Will women’s dresses have to be interspersed with men’s shirts?

And why is California spending time on such nonsense in the first place?

“I was inspired to introduce this bill after 8-year-old Britten asked, ‘Why should a store tell me what a girl’s shirt or toy is?’”


BS.

No 8 year old would use this phrasing.

And if we want to go down this road, what right does a handful of legislative dictators have to tell a private merchant what a girl’s shirt or toy is? They are going to have to make that determination if they want to fine a store. Who are they to make that determination?

Why not outlaw the men’s and women’s sections too?

I think that's next.

Yes, and there is no reason to separate the infants’/babies products from those that are designed for mature folks.

It is also offensive to sort items by size, because some people might have their feelings hurt. A huge open area with all merchandise just randomly displayed would work best, IMHO.

/s :)

Why is an eight year old out shopping for themself?

Stores are arranged for marketing and convenience of the shopper, I’d think this social justice genius should ask parents and stop taking legislative advice from children.

2 Tim 4:3-4 is not about secular culture. Paul was talking about the state of the church. THAT is the scary part.

The goal is to have a “gender-neutral” retail department, the bill says.

No, the goal is control freakery.

2 Timothy 3:1-8 King James Version (KJV)

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

King James Version (KJV)

Being ‘progressive’ has become a reliable indicator of retarded mental and emotional development.

This is what happens when you let the LGBTQs run the government.

For those on this thread who have posted the word “insanity”... I disagree. This is NOT insanity.

This is a step towards absolute power.

It is quite sane indeed. Very, very, very, very evil. But quite sane.

All this because they hate “male and female He created them”.
They are denying human nature.

Obviously they want to make it a felony to sell pink and blue pacifiers.

No, the distinction male/female isn’t some patriarchal plot to take over the world. It’s nature.

Most toy stores and toy areas in department stores are not divided that way in the first place. There are areas with Legos etc, dolls etc, bicycles, games, educational toys, art-based toys, transformers etc..... This is really stupid.

Further, if you don't have boy and girl clothes departments, you're still going to have to divide things up according to type of clothes and sizes. It doesn't matter what you call it. Unless they pass a law that requires all clothes to be ‘mixed up’ with no rational ‘sections’ (e.g. dresses, pants, shirts, leggings, etc.), and no sections according to size, it won't matter if it's labelled girls or boys. It will become immediately apparent....

“Male and female created he them;” Genesis 5.2

Now human retailers are denying God’s human distinctions?
