We then presented participants with one of three fictitious news articles about a proposal for a new law regarding children’s clothing. The de-gendering law would make it illegal to sell and market children’s clothing in separate sections for girls and boys or to sell clothes that explicitly target girls or boys. The multi-gendering law would make all children’s clothing stores add a section for nonbinary children and illustrated clothing would need to depict genders outside the binary. The control proposal would enforce stronger restrictions on chemical substances in children’s clothing.
