Something something, mutilate yourself and your children or your a fucking bigot.
They are going to use that as a reason to selectively ban books. That is how they've done it in the past, you put a rule and then apply it to only one side of the isle.
Same as twitter and most media outlet, Russia collusion or questioning the integrity of 2016 elections is news but questioning 2020 elections is a threat to democracy.
STOP GIVING MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU
Some things you can only get on Amazon, at least at a good price.
Are you going to die without those things?
No? Then there is no excuse.
When many of the small specialty shops have been put out of business by the lockdowns...
What price Western Civilization?
no amount of censorship will ever make it not a mental illness.
If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it

Why didn't you listen
I'm not autistic. At least I don't think so.
We are all autists.
Autism is now so broad in definition that it’s become over-diagnosed.
Huh... Based and redpilled Amazon is putting forward that we should not fund, subsidize, assist, or validate any trans medical procedures or operations? After all, if it is not an ailment, then it is perfectly normal, and if it is perfectly normal, nothing needs to be done about it, and it is perfectly fine to mock, belittle, or insult based upon that identity.
Obviously you don't insult people for having a mental illness, that's just cruel, but thanks to Amazon, we now know that this isn't one, so be free with your commentary!
F for Silence of the Lambs
I'd like to know who exactly is pushing this insanity into everything. I hear it's not the majority of trans people but a bunch of affluent/college girls. I have rage, someone is getting 4chan me pissing them off.
Hmmmm, so no more Silence of the Lambs?

First person I thought of when I saw this.
Funny. I was not at all concerned with transvestite nonsense when GG started. In fact, I was quite in favor of the nonsense. But then I realized that they don't want rights, they want to keep their boot on the rest of our necks and deny biology.
So if it gets removed from the DSM, transition is no longer a medical treatment but a fully elective surgery. The T's wont like it when that happens.
Book burning as its most open.
What are the odds that Amazon start a buyback of banned books? That really would be something.
Zero.
They want to make money, not waste it on ugly trannies.
I wonder how much of that is ideological commitment, and how much of that is following the path of least resistance. Probably some of both.
Conservatives are so useless that they are incapable of any sort of pushback. They believe corporations have free market right to keep their boots on our necks.
Longest I've held a boycott against Amazon was 3 months. I genuinely don't think it's possible for the average person to just give up Amazon.
Remind me never to move to that shithole of a country you currently live in.
I can boycott the two biggest retailers and still be able to get almost everything at the cheapest price.
Not all that wrong. I've found myself happier shopping in Canada even (shudder).
I've held pretty good avoiding Walmart and Target, but going for Walmart, Target and Amazon can be rough. It's much worse if you live in rural areas too. In lots of places Walmart has totally killed off local or even just smaller franchise businesses. It's not a meme but reality for a lot of people that you buy groceries at Walmart or you have a road trip ahead of you.
