Amazon blocked my publisher from sponsoring ads for my book, while allowing ads for books that pushed the contrary view -- that is, books that argue that gender transition for teens is without serious risk. https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-enforces-trans-orthodoxy-11592865818 /2
All of the legacy media outlets refused journalists' requests to review my book. Even Kirkus, which reviews 10,000 titles per year, declined to review it - even though it was the #1 book in several Amazon categories based on sales.

Encouraged that they managed one billboard, parents started a Gofundme to pay for more billboards, across the country. Gofundme -- which allows numberless teens to raise money for gender surgeries -- immediately shut the parents' account down: https://twitter.com/gigilarue4/status/132164881125353881 /7
Commonsense debate is being strangled by a woke orthodoxy. My book contains not a word of hate. I explored a medical issue and offered a considered view. How many other issues will you never hear about? How many journalists have already abandoned the pursuit of truth? /e
