Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally was removed from Amazon’s cyber shelves Sunday, three years after the controversial best-seller was published on February 20, 2018.
Anderson told Newsweek that he discovered that his book had vanished from Amazon—as well as the company’s e-reader Kindle, podcast service Audible and used-book sellers—when someone looking to buy a copy informed the author. He said that neither he nor his publisher were notified by Amazon.
In 2018, the book hit No. 1 on two of Amazon’s best-seller list before it was even released, but sparked controversy for arguing that society’s growing acceptance of transgender people stems more from ideology than science.
“We need to respect the dignity of people who identify as transgender,” Anderson argued in the book, “but without encouraging children to undergo experimental transition treatments, and without trampling on the needs and interests of others.”
While the book was well-received by conservatives, LGBTQ activists have dismissed the book as anti-trans and “dangerous.”
“People who have actually read my book discovered that it was a thoughtful and accessible presentation of the state of the scientific, medical, philosophical and legal debates,” Anderson told Newsweek. “Yes, it advances an argument from a certain viewpoint. No, it didn’t get any facts wrong, and it didn’t engage in any name-calling.”
He argues that the book’s research is more important than ever before given the recent push for trans policies from the new Biden administration.

We do NOT need to respect trans ... they are crazy and should be treated as such.
I have seen articles and interviews over the years of people who had irreversible surgery and profoundly regret it. My guess is that material is now hard to find. The suicide rate of transgenders is so high that, at least last I heard, John’s Hopkins refused to perform the surgery. That’s probably changed. Having had surgery on several body parts, even though they were successful, for the most part, they aren’t the same as before. Feet and hands are not nearly as delicate in their functions and sensations as sex organs. Also, I suspect we don’t understand the long term effects of radically altering our hormones.
Shockingly enough, customers can still get Mein Kampf, The Quotations of Chairman Mao (Mao’s Little Red Bood), or a Koran on Amazon.
Watch as Amazon will step up and pay for more publishing of this crud.
bezos has become a dictator who thinks he can change the world.
“Controversial” = not leftist.
If Jeff Bezos thinks transgenderism is so great why doesn’t he undergo the snip himself? Hypocrite!
Harry looks pretty good in a dress! :D
Next they will demand books be burned.

Agreed. And it can be purchased through eBay.
Is this not some kind of violation of contractual agreement(s)?
We're setting ourselves up for a serious judgment by God.
