New Child TOS

So, in order for skin creators to be in compliance with this new policy skins will have to be gendered? as before they've been unisex but with the sample modestly layers they were either bra/panties or undies.
This directly impacts those who create skins for kids, how does this not encourage creator to just take their products down? leaving a already niche community with even less options?
These policy updates seem to unfairly target the community who were not engaged in age play. I don't feel like this solves the problem, respectfully I feel it just pushes more work and restrictions onto creators.
Can you address any of my comments? The new policy for child avatars seems to unfairly impact creators and passes the buck onto us. We care about the community we support with the creation of skins/products. How does this address the issue of age play? How does this do anything other than affect creators and the kid brands we create for?

According to Wikipedia every Second Life user is guilty of "age play", unless Linden Lab created their own meaning of it. I looked it up two weeks ago to research what it really meant since I always trusted Linden Labs meaning of it. Wikipedia and most websites I researched do not agree with Linden Lab.

Silverdown Winchester LL loves to making huge mistakes and double down on them. They should have stopped using that word years ago and written out what they meant in plain English.

Silverdown Winchester correct they are seeking to ban pedophilia without calling it what it is, however they say clarified "sexual ageplay" this means the adult baby side of the community falls under child tos requirements and the DL side so long as they maintain an adult presentation are ok, ddlg affected as well since it plays along the same lines.

I kinda got the feeling skin creators will be expected to have gendered skins too. Which of those skins will nonbinary or gender nonconforming sl kids have to wear?

Agreed, this policy is putting a lot of unneeded work on the creators and requiring people to buy new skins if the ones they use will not be updated. The modesty layer policy needs to be changed because it is going to do nothing but punish the innocent while the violators go unphased.
Consider requiring BOM layers that cover the relevant parts of an avatar's body and make guidelines, with VISUAL examples, around what is the minimal coverage acceptable to LL so we can buy and create our own compliant BOM layers around those guidelines. There is no need require special skins when Second Life already will bake the textures for you. Doing it this way saves time, money, and removes the sameness that a permeant texture mod will add.
Again, we all know here that this new rule will not affect the violators, they will still wear their TOS breaking skins and do their TOS breaking activities under the cover of darkness, it's the TOS abiding avatars that will always pay the price.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm looking for a straight answer on what is the minimal coverage. If the example in the FAQ is the minimal acceptable coverage, then come right out and say it to make it official. No more of this two stepping around questions like has been done so for.
