California’s Assembly is slated to consider a new bill requiring department store childrens’ sections to be largely “gender-neutral” in order to combat “prejudice” and “judgment” against gender non-conforming children.
“Large retailers that sell toys, clothes, and other children’s items in California would have to devote floor space to merchandise marketed to both boys and girls under a new bill,” Politico reported earlier this week. “Stores would be able to sell the same products they do now as long as they maintain some areas where shoppers can find all toys or clothes, regardless of gender-based marketing, under CA AB2826 (19R) from Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell). It would apply to department stores with 500 or more employees beginning in 2023.”
Lowe told Politico that the idea for the bill, which he also introduced last year to little effect, came from one of his staffers, who claims her daughter wanted an item in the “boys” section but felt slighted because she felt the toy was designated for a male child.
“This is an issue of children being able to express themselves without bias,” Lowe told the outlet.
“Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate,” the text of the bill notes.

Stupidest money grabbing law ever passed!
This is so wrong. The state cannot tell owners what to sell and how to sell their products.
They’re going to force unisex toys on America.
Brick and Mortar stores are already struggling against online retailers, so let’s make it more difficult for them. Jeff Bezos must love this bill!
Normal boys and girls can’t enjoy being normal boys and girls because it might hurt the feelings of the 0.001% of boys and girls who aren’t normal and are most likely being abused by their neurotic parent/s.
Is it even worth doing business in CA? Is it worth it to live there?
Every time I read crazy stories like this, and they are numerous, I wonder why our side cannot be proactive like the left. Why can’t we force companies and institutions to promote traditional family values? And yes, I realize that means intruding on the public and private sectors but if we don’t assert ourselves, they win. And they’ve been winning for decades.
“This is so wrong. The state cannot tell owners what to sell and how to sell their products.”
Apparently they can. And it didn’t start with the pandemic.
Crazyfornia strikes again. Save us....
Insanity.
Best I recall G.I. Joe was anatomically a tranny.
And why stop at children's clothing? Mix men's and women's together so crossdressers will fit in better!
And don't get me started on the meat department. The blatant segregation between pork, chicken, and beef makes me think we're back in the 60s . . .
So, do they have separate mens and womens restrooms in the State Capitol?
If yes, why are they such hypocrites?
“Best I recall G.I. Joe was anatomically a tranny.”
Ha ha ha ha hah! Good one.

Are we having fun yet?
At this rate, North Korea will be incredibly free compared to American sheep. They have boys and girls toys and sections in North Korea.
This nation has gone insane & it’s going to collapse. Save yourselves.
