I am currently seeing a lot of confusion about the controversy surrounding this book, and I feel I need to help clear something up.
It was published by an organisation called "transgender trend". They state the existence of said "trend", and openly oppose it.
Most people who I& #39;ve heard mention this book did not know this. This is not a secret, it is literally in the title of the company. Please know that the anger directed against this book is not inexplicable or unfounded.
I would like you to know that what might seem to you like a strange rage about a very positive, lovely book in itself is a rage against the actual reasons for publishing it, and that if you support trans rights, you should look closer at this.
I would also caution you that the illustrator may not have been made aware of the full implications of this publication, which, as I said, in itself, is a book with a positive message, but a message that excludes trans children, with a stated, clear purpose.
It is only fair to give this information, and as you can probably tell I am EXTREMELY careful about this. This is what I want you to know, because I am seeing a battle fought uninformed, involving people unfairly.
