Nor is it what the natural law supports.įrom a natural law perspective, both the liberal and libertarian approaches to economics and property rights are inadequate. And it’s never been the American law on the issue. Conservatives need to get over the misguided belief that private businesses can do whatever they want. Second, a lesson: If you fear Big Government, don’t turn a blind eye to Big Tech. So first, a caveat: If you fear what Big Tech can do if you dissent from gender ideology, just wait to see what Big Government will do if the so-called Equality Act becomes law.
But if it’s just an attempt to skew the conversation in the public square with an attempt to discredit one of the Equality Act’s most prominent critics, that’s a different matter.
Perhaps they’re citing a religious objection to selling my book? Or maybe they only sell books with which they agree? (If so, they have a lot of explaining to do about why they carry Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.) If there’s a religious or speech objection, let’s hear it. And Amazon’s representatives haven’t responded to our inquiries about it. It’s about whether you affirm or dissent from the new orthodoxy of gender ideology.Īmazon never informed me or my publisher that it was removing my book. It’s not about how you say it, or how rigorously you argue it, or how charitably you present it. Moreover, it was praised by experts: the former psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital, a longtime psychology professor at NYU, a professor of medical ethics at Columbia Medical School, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, a professor of neurobiology at the University of Utah, a distinguished professor at Harvard Law School, an eminent legal philosopher at Oxford, and a professor of jurisprudence at Princeton.īut for a heretic-hunting Left, none of that matters. But it doesn’t get any facts wrong, and it doesn’t engage in heated rhetoric.
Yes, it advances an argument against transgender ideology from a viewpoint. The people who did read the book discovered that it is an accurate and accessible presentation of the scientific, medical, philosophical, and legal debates surrounding the trans phenomenon. Now, three years after publication, in the same week that the House of Representatives plans to ram through the Equality Act-a radical transgender bill amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964-Amazon has erased my book opposing gender ideology from its cyber shelves. But they were threatened by it and wanted to discredit it lest anyone pick it up and learn from it. It was obvious the critics hadn’t read the book. The Washington Post ran a hit piece on it that was riddled with errors.
It was attacked twice on the New York Times op-ed page. My book When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment was released exactly three years ago.
