Attempts by transsexuality activists to ban Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage only succeed in making it a top bestseller
It seems the battle about the rights and privileges of transgender Americans has come down to what other people are allowed to say about them. The controversy over Abigail Shrier’s book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” demonstrates how far this battle has come.See, nowadays, when illogical ideologues exploit their positions for blacklisting dissidents over an Orwellian Thoughtcrime, people notice and don't take kindly to the silencing acts. Also crucial to note:
Shrier’s book, which explores the phenomenon of many teenage girls suddenly and impulsively insisting they are now boys and how this affects their families and futures, has come under fire from transgender activists. Chase Strangio of the American Civil Liberties Union tweeted, “Abigail Shrier’s book is a dangerous polemic with a goal of making people not trans. I think of all the times & ways I was told my transness wasn’t real & the daily toll that still takes. We have to fight these ideas which are leading to the criminalization of trans life again.”
Several anonymous transgender Twitter users also expressed this belief and reached out to Target, demanding the retailer remove the book from its shelves. Target promptly did. After a heavy backlash that sent Shrier’s book into the best-seller category on Amazon, including No. 15 in all books, Target reversed its decision, also quietly doing the same for its removal of Debra Soh’s “The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society.”
A movement that can marginalize and silence viewpoints it finds threatening is not a victimized group. [...]Read the article in its entirety, but the above is definitely a perfect description for such far-leftist sources. Indeed, there's only so many leftist movements summed up by the above too.
