The Kent County Council has removed all trans books from children's sections in its libraries. Council leader Linden Kemkaran announced this decision on social media, labeling it as a victory for common sense. He expressed belief that informing children about being in the 'wrong body' is unacceptable. Opposition leader Antony Hook described the move as bizarre and vague due to a lack of clarity on which books were removed. The decision was influenced by a complaint from a public member, emphasizing a desire to protect youth from harmful ideologies promoted by trans advocates.
"Another victory for #commonsenseinKent my brilliant cabinet member Cllr Paul Webb has just got this trans material REMOVED from the children's sections of all Kent's libraries. Telling children they're in the 'wrong body' is wrong and simply unacceptable."
"Paul Webb, Reform UK's communities portfolio holder who oversees libraries, stated that the move was prompted by a concerned member of the public and reflects their belief that young people should be protected from potentially harmful ideologies such as those held by the trans lobbyists."
