First of all, those are erroneous and egregious comparisons. Secondly, it's quite possible that your local public library might have a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook [1]. For example, NYPL does carry it.

the pro-trans book actually did contain pornographic content and it was one of the reasons it should not be on display for kids

  Since you're throwing this accusation around like confetti, the article explicitly states the book was in the adult section.

    doesn't change the fact that teenagers (the most vulnerable population to fake trans dysphoria) can and will read this book. If you ever been to library, kids section is for elementary/middle school, but high schoolers absolutely do read adult section books
    - Defletter 4y ago
      Teenagers choosing for themselves to seek this book out in the adult section is a teensy tiny bit different than it "be[ing] on display for kids", don't you think? Do you just habitually lie to people? Can you simply not help yourself but make things seem worse than they are?
      - slt2021 4y ago
        it is not different, you seem like haven't visited public library for a very long time. If you ever been to libraries in heavy left-leaning woke towns, like Mountain View Public Library, you would see trans books on display in kids area and in Curated by librarian section.

        I'd like to see proof of that
