I’d love to be given an example of a “Trans Book” for kids.
I can genuinely believe they think that there’s books out there titled “Jenny Yellow Hat Has Top Surgery” or similar.
I see we’re at the “book banning” stage of suppressing trans people.
I would say this decision will be struck down by the courts as blatantly unlawful if challenged, but given the Supreme Court judgment in *FWS* maybe not…
In cases like this I’ve found the books being banned tend to be “this person is different please don’t bully them” books. And those proposing the bans are vague about the books themselves so they can let imaginations run wild and suggest there’s inappropriate content.

Reform: Putting the mental into American Christian extremist fundamentalism.
They are basically a Temu Trump using Project 2025 as their playbook (just adapting it for their followers).
If you’re gullible enough to think they will fix anything, you deserve everything you get when you end up suffering the effects (just like Americans who voted for the hard right with Trump are finding out).
> Trans books banned in children’s library sections
Good, books shouldn’t be allowed to change gender. They don’t even have genitalia. The modern world is confusing.
In fairness, geometric isomerism probably is a bit advanced for the kids section.
Young children don’t give a fuck about gender norms. They very clearly have to be taught them. So it makes perfect sense that it’s so important to socially conservative people to hide from kids anything that tells them gender doesn’t matter and you can do what you like.
A blanket ban is silly
Let’s see the books and make an informed decision based on their actual content
I wonder how broad they’re making the ban? Think they’ll ban Harry Potter?
This is messed up. Pretty much every ‘trans book’ aimed at children boils down to ‘some people are transgender and that’s OK’ – if you have a problem with that the only logical conclusion is you’re transphobic.
Disturbing parallels with the people who pitch a fit over any children’s media which features same sex couples existing.
Are we ready to call these people fascists now? Or do we have to stick our head in the sand for the next few years live they did in the States until REFUK are in power and start erasing us entirely?
This, from the party that claims to care about “free speech”. Fuck every single one of these rancid cunts trying to turn us into the US bible belt, one step at a time.
Ah, the old, *pick on Trans people chestnut*, everyones favourite form of socially acceptable bigotry…
Why? It’s not going to prevent anyone from being trans, it’s just going to create intolerance through unfamiliarity.
Oh so the shit that everybody with sense argued was going to happen when we started pandering to the “reasonable concerns/just asking questions/protecting women and gahhhls” crowd. We are seeing in real time in the US how this progresses and ALL queer people are going to become targets, we need to cut this shit at the stem right now.
American politics is not creeping into British, it’s rampaging.
I bet they watched the Christmas panto and thought it was normal or watched Blankety Blank with Lilly Savage without giving a toss.
But hey they’re doing a great job of making a total non-issue into the end of the world while ignoring the real problems.
Can we also protect kids from other “harmful ideologies” like Reform, MAGA, theism etc?
Or is this again just bigots punching down and a tiny section of society because of the weight of the bigots who have their back?
I mean, surely, if these evil “Trans books” were swaying kids into a “harmful ideology,” a simple non-Trans book would swing things back? Or is it just books with subject matter in that they’re bigoted against that have the magical power to irrevocably change someone?
