At least two Amazon employees have resigned in recent weeks to protest the company’s decision to continue to sell a book they say frames young people who identify as transgender as mentally ill.

The employee-led petition calls for the removal of the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” by Abigail Shrier. In it, Shrier explores what she calls a “trans epidemic” of young girls identifying as transgender. The book is currently listed as the first, second and third bestsellers — for the hardcover, softcover and Kindle editions — in Amazon’s category of “LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies.
“The book literally has[craze] in the title and considers being transgender a mental illness in many senses throughout the book,” Xenia said. Shrier said in a statement: “This issue won't go away just because some disgruntled Amazon employees wish it would. And banning the book won't help these girls or anyone else.”
