Amazon bans books that call LGBTQ identity a “mental illness”
When Harry Became Sally, was removed from sale earlier this year.Written by conservative political philosopher Ryan T. Anderson, the 2018 book criticizes gender-confirmation surgery, platforms those who have detransitioned, and advocates therapy to convince people to remain in the gender they were assigned at birth.In February, Amazon notified the book’s publisher, Encounter Books, that Anderson’s work violated its publishing guidelines and it had been removed from sale.That drew raised eyebrows from anti-LGBTQ Republican Sens.
