libraries transgender books.

The board overseeing Alabama public libraries on Thursday voted to remove books that discuss being transgender from  the teen and children’s sections of public libraries. The Alabama Public Library Service Board of Directors approved a rule that materials that discuss “transgender procedures, gender ideology or the concept of more than two biological genders” are inappropriate for sections of the library aimed at children and youth. The books would be moved to adult sections of the library. Board Chairman John Wahl, who is also chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said the change puts parents in charge. Opponents on Thursday called it an attempt at censorship and the erasure of trans people.
