...There are so many problems with this that it’s hard to know where to begin.

For one, there’s just a question of priorities. With all the problems the state is facing, this is what the California state government is focused on?

Secondly, this regulation is a “solution” to a “problem” that doesn’t exist. There are exactly zero people who wake up every day thinking about how the real thing holding back their child’s development in life is the fact that some stores have gendered toy sections.
