Backlash as Reform claims trans books removed from children’s library section

Posted on | by Will I be next?

A council leader has been criticised after claiming the authority had removed transgender-related books from the children’s sections of its libraries.

In a post on social media, Kent County Council’s Reform UK leader Linden Kemkaran said the books were to be removed with immediate effect in a “victory for common sense in Kent”.

However, the council said a single transgender-related book aimed at adults was relocated from a display at the entrance of a library to a section unlikely to be visited by children.

Labour MP for Chatham and Aylesford Tristian Osbourne has called the alleged removal of the books “unedifying gender baiting of the LGBT community”.
