I don’t believe in book banning as an idea and would rather see labels slapped on things with historical or social context where needed and I support keeping genuinely harmful things in places where (for example) kids can’t get them or where marginalized groups don’t have to see them openly.

But if I was put on the spot and had to pick one book then it would be one that we had in our local library that basically described de-transitioning trans kids. Not naming it because fuck that book. I read it and cried. It is being checked out by people intending to abuse children.

Depending on how vague the title is, it is also probably being checked out by people just innocently looking for ways to deal with their trans or genderquestioning children, and then possibly corrupting their mind with these ideas. That may be even worse.
