California is set to ban boys and girls sections in big toy stores in latest gender-neutral push to create a 'safe space for children'

California wants to ban boys and girls toy or clothes sections in large stores in order to enforce the gender-neutral presentation of products.

The bill would make it illegal for retailers to put up signs saying 'boys' and 'girls' over displays of toys, clothes or childcare items under the threat of a $1,000 fine.

Meanwhile, stores located in the state that have a website would be required to use titles like 'kids', 'unisex', or 'gender-neutral' rather than dividing goods by sex.

Assembly Bill 1084 requires retailers with 500 or more employees 'to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where the majority of those items being offered are displayed, regardless of whether an item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys,' according to the Legislative Counsel's digest of the bill.

The bill, which if passed would go into effect on January 1, 2024, was co-authored by Assemblyman Evan Low, D-Campbell, who chairs the California Legislative LGBT Caucus, and Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Bell Gardens, who chairs the California Legislative Women's Caucus.

The text of the legislation claims the ban is necessary to prevent people from being treated differently due to their sex.

An earlier version of the bill was introduced in 2020, but Low decided to withdraw it to avoid distracting from the COVID pandemic, reported the Sacramento Bee.

Introducing the bill, Low said he was inspired by Target's decision in 2015 to abolish gendered children's sections.

'As much as I'd like to think of this as watershed legislation, this is something the industry is already doing. We're just trying to play catch up,' he said.

Low also cited as inspiration a staffer's nine-year-old daughter, who was confused why she had to go into the boys aisle to find science toys.

I keep thinking (hoping?) that we have reached the acme of insanity, only to be proven wrong (again) by lunacies such as this.

Coming next: the end of mens’ clothing and womens’ clothing sections of stores. It’ll all be just one big happy unisex clothing section with unisex bathrooms and unisex changing rooms.

And unisex pronouns (except for the sex-change people: they definitely want gendered pronouns).

I’m afraid the insanity is irreversible.

So if they’re going to make it harder to find toys for girls at brick-and-mortar stores, are they going to prohibit Amazon searches for toys for girls? I doubt it.

I don’t think I’ve every seen a boys section in a toy department. Most are organized by types of toys. There are building sections, science sections, games, sports section, Transformers, Barbies, dolls, etc. Having a girls section benefitted girls.

Girls could shop in the building section or the science section - there was no gender attached. The problem was that the toys were designed for boys, not that they were in a boys section. Few girls had any interest in building Lego spaceships or bulldozers. When Lego started making bricks in pastel colors with building sets like restaurants, zoos, and houses, girls were interested. Having a section for girls benefitted girls.

The two sponsors of this bill are a gay state rep and feminist women state rep.

Allowing fags out of the closest and women the right to vote will eventually destroy this country.

There were socities thousands of years ago run by women and eventually they all failed.

The ultimate goal is to eliminate boys and girl clothes. Everyone will be wearing the same [communist] uniform.

People who've never run a business telling business how to operate.

Sheer insanity.

You know what's at the end of this path right? I mean if it were allowed to play out. The U.S. would be divided along crazy states and normal state lines. People will be drawn to those states they identify with... And probably down to the county level.

Probably a lot like it was during the original Civil War; slave states vs free states.

CA is becoming almost unlivable by normal people.

Why does no one ever say this is way outside the purview of government? How does anyone have the authority to tell anyone how they may arrange their stuff?


California is a one party state. The Democrats are in power because they pander to every special interest. The Democrat leadership does not care one bit about this or most other special interest item and allows them to pass every law they can think of.

The leadership is only concerned about money and power.

California is not longer a representative Republic, it is a banana Republic without the bananas.

Honestly for as freaky as the state is, losing the 5th largest world economy would not do well for the 49 left.

If there’s only one sex, then why do “transsexuals” claim to go from one sex to another, and then demand that everyone use the “right” pronouns for their chosen sex?

America would have few problems without those electoral votes. The money isn't worth it.

Better take a bunch of screen capture images of the United States of America, boys. She's not going to be around much longer. Something really bad is going to happen.

Just ask the prophet Jeremiah what happens when a nation blessed by God spits in His face.

2 Thess 2:10-12: they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
