A new bill in the California state assembly would ban stores from separating their toys, clothing and childcare items into boys’ and girls’ sections and would fine them $1,000 if they did so.
The bill, sponsored by Democratic Assemblymember Evan Low (Silicon Valley), says each “retail department store shall maintain one, undivided area of its sales floor where, if it sells toys, all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed.”
The bill, AB2826, includes similar language for clothing and “childcare articles” such as pacifiers. It would apply only to retail chains with 500 or more employees, with each violation costing $1,000.
A legislative counsel’s digest accompanying the bill makes clear its intent.
“This bill would require a retail department store … to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where, if it sells childcare articles, children’s clothing, or toys, all childcare items, all clothing for children, or all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed,” the digest says.
The goal is to have a “gender-neutral” retail department, the bill says.
A press release from Low’s office said children should not feel “stigmatized for wearing a dinosaur shirt or playing with a Barbie doll.” Separating toys and clothes by gender “makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare products,” the release added. It also “incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate,” the press release said.
“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?’” Low said.
The bill would “help children express themselves freely and without bias,” he added.
“We need to let kids be kids,”

Just more of the same creeping thuggish control over our everyday lives from the control freak communists in Sacramento. No wonder they have to lie, cheat and steal to stay in power and they have mastered their own way of evil to do so.
Last Days.
So now 8 year olds get to be the driving force behind public policy and law? I can’t wait for the “No bedtime” and “Eat whatever you want.” laws.
“When was the last time they actually did something good for the country?”
I’ve only been around for 6.8 decades, but I can’t think of anything.
They have long since enlisted among the forces of evil.
Last days or not, 2 Timothy 3:1-8 spells out our current situation very well.
I’m pretty sure at this point i’m living in the twilight Zone. These a-holes must be stopped. When was the last time they actually did something good for the country?
>><<
I agree.
The only time they do anything good for the country is when they stop breathing.
I guess this also applies to sex toys, can’t be separate from kids toys. Sick liberal democrat fags.
Well heck, this is SO much more important than cleaning up the streets and the homeless situation.

The freedom-loving, entrepreneurial, capitalistic mentality that has made this country the success that it is, would solve this problem by opening a new store that didn’t have any separations or departments. If the need is there, then the famous “if you build it, they will come” applies. Now people have a CHOICE in which type of store they wish patronize. Everyone is happy.
Same principle should be followed with bakeries and who they make cakes for. I’m guessing if someone opened a bakery that catered exclusively to the LGBTQetc, etc….community, it would be a success. AND leaves other bakeries alone ! Again, people now have a choice in the matter.
You know what is gender neutral? Money. People can pick out a shirt for a girl in the boy’s department, pay for it, and take it home. I have yet to see the barbwire barriers that prevent this.
thanks a lot you pedo faggot lover, like I have a need to even go to the mall for this sh*t..
They know that big retail chains will just redesign all of their stores to keep them consistent. In essence this will be imposed on the entire country.
They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
Proof that with $100 billion budget homeless in the streets shit in the streets everywhere needles everywhere and mounting problems with the utilities and everything else
the California legislature just doesn’t have anything else to do
Jeeze. The loonies out there are at it again.
I would have no problem with President Trump declaring California in insurrection and implementing the 1867-68 Reconstruction Act against these traitorous fascists. The act begins by appointing a military governor and sending in troops.
They are only reinforcing gender stereotypes with this sort of crap.
My kids NEVER felt stigmatized in playing with toys designed or intended for the opposite gender.
My son played with dolls with his sisters and they played with trucks and legos with him. The toys were in the toy box and whoever got to them first played with them. None of this *his* and *hers* crap, and I was not trying to be some kind of progressive fruitcake. I didn’t care what they played with and they didn’t either. If it was fun, they did it.
Agreed.
Evil is the correct word.
Whoa, a little harsh but I can’t argue.
Shop on line
California is gone crazy! This is just stupid and a waste.
