At least two Amazon employees have resigned in recent weeks to protest the company’s decision to continue to sell a book they say frames young people who identify as transgender as mentally ill.

July 14, 2021, 10:00 AM UTC

The employee-led petition calls for the removal of the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” by Abigail Shrier. In it, Shrier explores what she calls a “trans epidemic” of young girls identifying as transgender. The book is currently listed as the first, second and third bestsellers — for the hardcover, softcover and Kindle editions — in Amazon’s category of “LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies.

“The book literally has[craze] in the title and considers being transgender a mental illness in many senses throughout the book,” Xenia said. Shrier said in a statement: “This issue won't go away just because some disgruntled Amazon employees wish it would. And banning the book won't help these girls or anyone else.”

I’m trying to figure out which one is worse..2 out of 1.3 million employees, or the fact that keeps pushing out this same article over & over again on its timeline?

I celebrate Amazon not caving to people that would ban intellectual discourse in America, or anywhere in the world for that matter. Those people had no business working for a bookseller, not or ever. It was a mistake that they were ever hired.

Book burn!

Crystal generation !!😳

Freedom of press

Buh-bye! There's the door, use it!!

well its true homo sexualty is a sin in the bibile read your king james old testermint amene

Have a look on linked in.. There’s two jobs available at Amazon…

That's true

It’s not science. It’s confusion.

Freedom of speech. Good for Amazon.

Britain has exposed the weakness of Europeans n whites in extension by the way Britain handled the extra ordinary rendition saga against Nnamdi Kanu,a black British citizen by Kenya n Nigeria.This simply tells humanity that Europeans are curropt if not worst. FREE BIAFRA NOW

Is that book the DSM5 speaking about ‘gender dysphoria?’ It’s a mental illness, folks…

2 out 800,000 must tell you something!

Freedom of free speech. What next? If you don’t like it don’t read it.

CHOICE or FREE WILL is an INALIENABLE Human BIRTHRIGHT! To TAKE AWAY what you did NOT Grant is an act of VIOLENCE. BEWARE of Laws that TAKE AWAY the INALIENABLE Human BIRTHRIGHT of CHOICE or FREE WILL. To CONFORM to such Laws means to CONDONE or ALLOW acts of VIOLENCE.

'I don't like it! So I'll throw a hissy fit!'

Lmfao soft as fuck

I belive its called free speech....... regardless of right or wrong

Bless their hearts. FoxNews

It is a gender dysphoria. It is a mental illness.

How long did it take them to find an immoral product at Amazon?

No matter how offensive, every opinion should be heard and judged in the marketplace of ideas. These two are being fascists without even knowing it. That is America's current state of education for you.

JesusFChristo I don't believe in banning books. Even the ones I find reprehensible. It never ends well. People have a right to there ideas. And a right to the consequences. Don't buy the books. I'm not.

Few people wanted to listen to Alex Jones - ranting about herbicides / pesticides 'turning frogs gay' ... ... but maybe more people might like to listen to the Berkeley University Professor - who did the study?

The book is 100% correct. If the employees feel uncomfortable, it is their right to take a stand. But a news story, this is not.

and their positions were filled before they made it out of the building 🥴
