Amazon Helps Turn Anti-Trans Book Into Bestseller

Media Matters reports:

The bestselling “LGBTQ+ Book” on Amazon is Johnny the Walrus — a hateful picture book by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh that compares the gender identities of trans youth to a young boy who imagines he is a walrus.

Amazon mislabeled the book into its LGBTQ+ Books section and, as a result, is promoting harmful anti-trans views to its consumers interested in LGBTQ stories. Walsh is a prominent podcast host at The Daily Wire, a right-wing media outlet and a cesspool of bigotry and hatred which frequently targets the LGBTQ community.

The description for the children’s board book claims that it is about “a little boy with a big imagination” named Johnny who “forced to make a decision between the little boy he is and the things he pretends to be.”

Read the full article. Walsh recently appeared on JMG when he called from banning adoption by LGBT people. Before that, he appeared here when he called for dissolving the United States.

Amazon needs to stop misidentifying Matt Walsh’s anti-trans propaganda as an “LGBTQ book,” which is promoting harmful anti-trans views to its consumers interested in LGBTQ stories.https://t.co/ZaN1jMVSMl
