The bill isn't just about toys. It's about getting rid of boy and girl clothing sections too, which will evolve into getting rid of men and women section of stores. I don't know about you but I find it pretty convenient to have a ladies section.

Yes! The clothing part is being overlooked. I don't want to shop for bras alongside men's jockeys. Well, given that men will be allowed in the women's changing room, I'm sure plenty of them will be trying on bras in there.

Dang I wasn't even thinking about underwear. That's a good point. Since this bill will start out with the kids, I started puberty early, and more and more girls are getting their periods early. I think I started with training bras at 9 or 10. I remember this being an embarrassing phase in my life. I can't imagine if I would have had to do this shopping around boys.

Side note: I am glad I had women in my life that didn't take my tomboy nature and try to reclassify my sex. I really did not like being a girl once I got my period, but not once did an adult tell me I should transition to a boy.

Hah - thanks!

I was wondering what the purpose of this bill was, and, as I always do with the California state legislature, was searching for the stealth connection to transgenders, because just about every bill the CA legislature passes these days has something to do with transgenders /s but not really...
