Conservatives outraged that anti-trans book removed from Amazon

Amazon appears to have halted the sale of a book accused of attacking transgender people, outraging some prominent conservatives.

Ryan T Anderson, a former fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said on Sunday that the online retail giant had removed his 2018 bookWhen Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment from its store.

“Given the aggressive push on trans policies coming from the Biden admin, now is a great time to read it,” he said in a tweet on Sunday. “Buy it before you no longer can.”

Amazon declined a request for comment from The Independent. A search for Mr Anderson’s book only leads to other titles.

“This harms the entire culture of book authoring, publishing, and reading--as it will have a chilling effect on all aspects of the book market,” Mr Anderson told The Independent. “Likewise it cuts off important political and cultural discussion about important matters when we need it most.”
