Amazon has decided to stop selling books that cast lesbian, gay and 
transgender identities as mental illnesses.

The e-commerce titan revealed its decision in a letter to three Republican 
senators who cried foul last month over the removal of a conservative 
scholar’s book about transgender people.

The book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment,” 
was published in 2018 but recently disappeared from Amazon’s website, 
Kindle store and Audible audiobook platform.

“As to your specific question about When Harry Became Sally, we have 
chosen not to sell books that frame LGBTQ+ identity as a mental illness,” 
Amazon executive Brian Huseman wrote in the Thursday letter to Sens. Marco 
Rubio, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee and Mike Braun, which was published by The 
Wall Street Journal.

Huseman was responding to the senators’ Feb. 24 letter demanding more 
details about Amazon’s decision to remove the book, which they said 
“openly signaled to conservative Americans that their views are not 
welcome on its platforms.”

They specifically asked why Amazon hosted the book for three years before 
yanking it and how the company determined that it contained “offensive 
content.”

The book by Ryan Anderson claims to reveal the “often sad reality” of 
living with gender dysphoria, the discomfort one experiences when their 
gender identity doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth.

It also features accounts from people who transitioned to a different 
gender as children but later regretted doing so, according to the book’s 
description.

Huseman indicated that Amazon changed its policy to prohibit books that 
cast LGBTQ identities as mental illnesses at some point between 2018 and 
this year, but he didn’t provide further details about the timeline or why 
the decision was made.

“We reserve the right not to sell certain content. All retailers make 
decisions about

what selection they choose to offer, as do we,” Huseman wrote, adding that 
Amazon offers “customers across the political spectrum a wide variety of 
content that includes

disparate opinions.”

Anderson and his publisher slammed Amazon’s decision in a statement to the 
Journal, saying the company was “using its massive power to distort the 
marketplace of ideas and is deceiving its own customers in the process.”

“Everyone agrees that gender dysphoria is a serious condition that causes 
great suffering,” Anderson and Roger Kimball, publisher of Encounter 
Books, told the paper.

“There is a debate, however, which Amazon is seeking to shut down, about 
how best to treat patients who experience gender dysphoria.”

But the Human Rights Campaign, one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy 
groups, said Amazon made the right call.

“Books, or any media, that tell someone that their identity, their sense 
of self, is a mental illness are indescribably harmful,” Jay Brown, the 
HRC’s senior vice president for programs and training, told The Post in a 
statement. “Authors perpetuating damaging falsehoods about LGBTQ people — 
which have been disproved by medical professionals — are not guaranteed a 
platform, and Amazon is correct to remove the materials from its store.”

Neither Amazon nor the senators who wrote to the company immediately 
responded to requests for comment Friday morning.
