However, according to this man, who usually does very accurate research:

"Gender dysphoria is listed in the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which Amazon sells. So the real deciding factor seems to be whether you endorse hormones and surgery as the proper treatment or counseling."

People need to stop using Amazon. Even if the book in question was about the LGB part, Amazon is not responsible for PUBLISHING these books. If they are a book SELLER, they should sell books, and not censor the ones they dislike.

I try to boycott Amazon in general because its labor practices are atrocious and because once it becomes a close-to-monopoly it does shit like this.
