I almost commented on this as well, for the same reasons as both of you. I was buying stuff from both departments by the time I was a teenager. This is not that hard.

To have an NB section they'd have to either mix everything all together or duplicate their inventory just to have an extra section for The Specials™.

It would be easy in online stores, just have the NB "section" include the ugliest items from the men's and women's sections

That'd be a way to move some old stock, too. Brilliant.

It's either one of these two situations:

  1. They simply put everything from the Male and Female sections in the NB section. Because there was some magical barrier blocking you from buying from the opposite sex section before, I guess?

  2. They create specific new items for the NB section. Because non-non-binary (lol) men can't wear anything that isn't manly, so the non-manly items go only for non-binary people, I guess?

Either way you think about it, it's incredibly restrictive on gender norms. It depends on the idea that men can't wear anything that isn't masculine (and vice-versa for women), so you need to identify as non-binary and buy non-binary outfits if you wanna go outside of these norms.

The closest thing to a magical sex-barrier that there is would have to be them fleeing the area the moment the clothes use pronouns that don't match their personality

Yep, once again the "freedom" is all about stuffing themselves into a new box they pretend isn't there.

Time to learn how to make their own clothes if walking from one department to another in a store is too ordinary for them.
