I gave Rachel's book to my mother. She is a retired educator. Two minutes later she handed it back and said is was lovely. I told her it was transphobic hate speech and the author was being harassed by kids lit authors and that the Society of Authors was doing nothing about it. My mother peaked in an instant. She has peaked her entire circle of friends. Every time I try this trick with someone it works brilliantly. Everyone should buy some copies and try it for themselves. Share this special book and its author's story. Results are amazing.

I've done that too. Show people the book and the headline from Pink News comparing it to terrorist propaganda https://www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/03/transgender-trend-children-book-anti-trans-terrorist-propaganda-my-body-is-me/

The destructive power of the Twitter mob is disturbing.

It's terrifying. Such a small but vocal group cowing huge organisations into bending to their destructive will.

I bought ten copies of this lovely book to give out and to demonstrate to my friends what kind of lunacy we're dealing with when Rachel is accused of 'terrorist propaganda'. I ordered it from my local library to ensure they had a copy - it is never available when I check the catalogue.They have basically hidden it from children.
