City of Paris bans posters advertising " Transmania" book criticising transgender ideology. Backfires as book now best seller and controversy being covered in MSM.

This talk show might be of interest to French speaking MNetters, sorry can't find English subtitles.
Paris's virtue signalling seems to have backfired.

I do hope the book finds a publisher for an English edition (I would not have enough French to read the original).

I have started to translate it. It's powerful stuff

This looks excellent - thanks for sharing your hard work, @MyPearlViper

The authors are now receiving death threats, a depressingly familiar pattern.

Dora was interviewed on Andrew Doyle’s Free Speech Nation last night and it was very informative because they both knew the topic so well.

Interesting from the Mail. I'd not describe death threats as heckling. They're not usually so coy!

The TRAs are now doing book burnings and filming it.

I so wish I’d studied French 🇫🇷 😕

Threatening women, burning books and defacing monuments to babies.

No-one can deny that this ideology is a magnet for the absolute worst of humanity.

Book burning reminds me of a particular regime, which started about 90 years ago.

The thing is with book burning, is not only do they have to buy the book to burn it. Meaning Dora and Marguerite get benefit.

However, if I see that books are being burnt, I want to see why they are being burnt. I want to know all about the book.

Plus in this day and age it is rather environmentally irresponsible.

Excellent points @Helleofabore !

True, it is an incredibly dumb tactic in many ways. Note the only people who tend to do it are religious and political fanatics.

Has there ever been an example anywhere in history of a book burning being carried out and it turned out to be the rational, correct thing to do? Mass bonfire of Mein Kampf and other propaganda after WW2 maybe?

Otherwise it seems to me the performative, protesting type of book burning automatically categorises the pyromaniacs as intolerant, ignorant bigots who cannot stand to be challenged, and their instinctive reaction is to destroy rather than engage.

Fortunately Dora speaks English
