California retailers are now required to have gender-neutral toy aisles
KTLA ^ | January 2, 2024 | by: Iman Palm

Major retailers in California are now required to have gender-neutral toy aisles under a new state law that went into effect on Monday.

The new law requires retail department stores physically located in California with 500 or more employees to “maintain a gender-neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer.”

Stores that already have gender-focused toy areas won’t have to get rid of them but instead add a toy section that would apply to children of any gender, according to the law’s text.

The law passed the state Legislature and was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021. Retailers that don’t comply with the law will initially be fined $250, followed by $500 for repeat offenders.

California Assemblymember Evan Low, D-Silicon Valley, said an 8-year-old inspired him to introduce the bill.

“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 in a statement. “Her bill will help children express themselves freely and without bias. We need to let kids be kids.”

I want an update when that ‘8 year old’ is 28.

Let’s see how successful they are then.

Calls to mind an old drill march cadence about a lady driving a truck.

I bought a used 1976 1 ton Chevy dually 4 speed truck in 1986. It had 90,000 miles on it.

IT now has 348,000 +++ & I put on EVERY mile—mostly towing horses.

Have a 4 horse trailer with a hay rack on top.

Was 47 then. AM 84 now.

STILL PREFER that truck to ANYTHING I see on the road.

AND-—IT IS PAID FOR !!!!!!!!!!!

MY car is a 1979 Buick I bought used in 1981.

Have driven that car for over 42 years-—fully 1/2 of my 84 years.

IF I EVER were to think about buying another truck, I would look long & hard at “SPORT CHASSIS” trucks-—smaller versions of Peterbuilt full size semis-—and I do NOT need a CDL to drive it.

I played with army men. I even had dead Germans, Japs, and horses.

As a person who had a Grandfather who fought the Japs in the Pacific, I think that’s awesome.

I guess that govt bureaucrats understand marketing better than those who actually run stores.

Duh, how could the common working people know how to run things better than a political organizer of color, it is just so unthinkable.

I find the whole Gay Harvard thing not unexpected, she did not understand who the d-owners of the plantation really were.

Entertainment that distracts from the other real news of the day like earthquakes, planes on fire, apple stock issues, mickey mouse being outed as evil.

most of us probably suspected minnie was f’n goofy cause disney values and all.

It’s a small world after all

At what point do people just start telling the government to go to hell? Damn!

That sounds like a great idea, but unfortunately they will not be going anywhere as they just continue to screw the public and idiots keep re-electing them.

So, why not have the “boy-toys” on one side, and the “girl-toys” on the other side of the same aisle? And what IS a “gender neutral” toy?
