Yup, I'm seeing the same thing here. And this blog post was created 7h ago so I kind of doubt that's a recent change.
I'm starting to think there's a lot of easy advertising to be had on the "I'm being silenced!" circuit nowadays. And it probably directly targets the type of people who'd be into this book.
- xwolfi 5y agoIt's because the transgender "cause" is not very interesting: either you re a fucktard and have a strong opinion on it but you're most likely low impact on society, or you don't care because it's so rare it will prob never matter to you. So trying to get any sort of noise around your cause (because you like the attention, or you're tired of the fucktards for some reason) means you need to pretend there are very powerful people who care negatively. But it's likely Amazon or Wiki treat the "transgender" namespace just like the "carrot" namespace and care not at all what result it yields or what people have to say about it. Any result this person would ever reach would be for more people to say "meh it's true it doesn't matter what gender you want to be" which probably will never satisfy someone proud of being trans to the point of organizing speeches around it.
