Story summary
  • A QueerAF investigation found that 58 UK public libraries hold the anti-trans book "When Kids Say They’re Trans."
  • The book promotes desistance—reverting to a cisgender identity—and urges parents to discourage children's gender identities and seek anti-affirmation medical environments.
  • Concurrently, a government library removed another book asserting Trans+ children are indoctrinated, pending investigation.
  • Critics warn such resources can cause lifelong trauma to children, highlighting concerns about harmful literature in public spaces.
