Slay:
A new law due to come into effect in California next month will see stores issued with fines if they fail to comply with radical gender ideology.
The law, which comes into effect on January 1, 2024, mandates stores that sell children’s items to have a gender-neutral section.
Details of the “woke” new law are confirmed on a state government website.
The law applies to any company that sells “childcare items” or toys and employs a minimum of 500 employees across store locations.
It requires that they offer a section where “a reasonable selection of the items and toys for children that it sells shall be displayed, regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys,” according to the law’s text.
Stores that do not comply with the law could face a civil penalty. more
Screw them. Checkers is “Gender Neutral” for all the umpteen different sexes they have. Any one of them can play the game.
Authoritarians LOVE what they do and the more they get away with, the more they do.
I can’t define gender neutral, but I’ll know it when I see it.
Yay! More laws and more people to enforce them. That’s what we need: more public sector employment. You know, people who produce nothing.
Easy fix, just don’t sell any toys. And make plans to move your store out of state.
How about anatomically correct dolls with removable, interchangeable genitals?

I’ve heard of legislating morality, but legislating insanity? It would not surprise me if California passed a law that you must pick your nose with your toes when the wind blows.
Kurt Schlichter’s portrayal of this gender crap in his People’s Republic books is already being implemented and surpassed.
I’d like to see who could tell the difference between Barbie’s crotch and GI Joe’s. They are already gender neutral.
The mentally ill should not be able to run for any office, state, federal, local any. That’s where these laws leach from.
My kids are at the age that all of my toy shopping is done at the gun shop. Its quite gender neutral.
They can take their Camo Barbie and crush it with their Hello Kitty Bulldozer.
Uncle Al , Amen !
This is bull shit. They don’t have that authority. But it’s much cheaper to comply than sue them. So I guess now they do have that authority.
Another assault on masculinity.
When I was a boy you could buy GI Joe with a Kung Fu grip.
Closest thing for boys today is Roblox and Funko Pops and encouraged to leave them in the box because they could be valuable one day. Bunch of BS, poor kids.
ecp
Combine that with the fact that male children today are sporting about 1/5 of the Testosterone our generation had. It’s all by design.
“When I was a boy you could buy GI Joe with a Kung Fu grip.”
Man, when I was a kid, well into my early teens, I loved this time of year and watching any cool toy commercial stuff…Evel Knievel, Sizzlers, Smash Up Derby, Stick Shifters, Slot Cars, BMX bikes, cool board games…etc. Nowadays,I don’t see anything like that….sad.
It’s a damn shame that such a beautiful state so rich in natural resources is completely devoid of common sense and recognition of reality among its political class.
I don’t see a huge problem here. Just don’t have girls’/boys’ sections. All vehicle toys together. All doll toys together. All building toys. All art supplies together. In other words you don’t put the pink-and-turquoise legos into a “girls'” section.
And if I ran the store, I’d be sure to distribute all of the Barbie stuff all over the place so that Mattel would be screwed over.
What constitutes a “boy’s toy” vs “girl’s toy”, vs “gender neutral toy”, anyway? I thought the left wanted boys to play with dolls and girls to play with trucks? Typical California BS. Next they will be hiring tens of thousands is Toy Police, AFSME members, with six digit salaries and CalPers retirements. Dependable democrat voters.
“a reasonable selection”
Remember when laws weren’t allowed to be vauge?
Best toy would be an old car. Just leave it to the kids’ imagination: fort, spaceship, tinker toy….
^^^ or the cardboard box a big toy came in!
Now iTz wimpy cardboard it it can be called that!
Then it was substantial cardboard that Mexican family could make a condo out of today!!
Aren’t Barbie and Ken gender neutral, no front hole and no junk respectively?
Have you ever seen a Barbie & a Ken doll with clothes removed?
Both identically lacking any sign of gender-as neutral as they can be.
WTF is wrong with these people?
@Carlos the Jackal — Isn’t that what Sharpies are for?
