Thanks for breaking down the evolution of the debate; your summary gave me a lot more context to this discussion.

> This is the controversial part. Trans right activists see this position as an erasure of trans identity/denying their right to exist, etc pp. They seek to suppress any kind of research investigating

Does this mean _all_ Trans rights activists?

I'm wondering if there is discourse from Trans rights activists who are activists for reasons other than those associated with medical research - and who possibly object to this attempt by a subset of Trans rights activists to suppress said research.

I only have one Trans friend that I actively engage with on this topic, and I get the impression that even within the Trans community there is a lot of disagreement in terms of what's best for society (and how to best raise our children).

Which is perfectly normal - especially given the deeply nuanced nature of this discussion.

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around why Amazon took this step.
