California retailers are now required to have gender-neutral toy aisles

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.”

“Only those who $ee an opportunity to be offended by a corporation with deep pockets will be heard from.”

Nailed it! “Opportunity” = “BIG PAYDAY”

We had a guy in our little California town who made a living out of going around our town (and nearby towns) with a tape measure looking for ADA violations. He would sue everywhere he possibly could. One of my favorite stores closed their back door that opened into the parking lot because of the expense of adding an ADA ramp (which would have consumed a lot of retail shelf space, too). So now everybody has to go around the block to go to the front of the store on Main Street rather than entering through the convenient door on the rear.

"...what IS a “gender neutral” toy?"

When you look it up, you find happy little tykes wearing homo clothes playing with homo-colored blocks assembled into vague, gender-neutral things.

What if they put both genitals on to appease the ‘other’?
