It appears that librarians working for Calderdale Council believe it's their job to hide books from the public if they personally disapprove of the content. Of course they're books written by women - Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stock, Abigail Shrier, Heather Brunskell Evans and a number of others. They've been removed from the shelves and hidden them!
An unbelievable level of censorship and none of them have been disciplined - the council appear to be supportive of anti democratic censorship like this:

Gender-critical books hidden by ‘tinpot censor’ librarians

The works removed from public view are all critical of gender ideology and transgender activism and include Kathleen Stock’s Material Girls

Calderdale is a bit of a hotspot for this.
There are threads on MN about an event that got cancelled because it wasn't deemed inclusive enough (for a woman fighting a discrimination case). Some of the local councillors are quite zealous shall we say.

It’s just more of the #nodebate isn’t it - the real message they are sending is “my beliefs are so flimsy they are unable to withstand any scrutiny, questions, or opposing arguments”

Its good to finally have what a lot of women have suspected confirmed as true!

Oh well not exactly a shock. Some bad women go into bookshops and rearrange shelves.
