The online commerce behemoth Amazon has announced that it will be relisting “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement,” a bestselling and influential book critical of the transgender movement that had been delisted at the behest of LGBTQ+ activists.
The move comes as President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of executive orders related to gender ideology and males interloping in female sports.
“A few years ago, we removed ‘When Harry Became Sally’ from our store after concluding that it violated our guideline prohibiting books that promote hate speech,” Amazon said in a recent statement justifying its ban of the book even as it lifted it. The book took its name from the title of a 1989 romantic comedy film “When Harry Met Sally.”
Author Ryan Anderson strongly contested Amazon’s stance, then and now, on the book in a statement to The Daily Signal.
I’m glad that the company is able to admit they made a bad decision four years ago. However, the statement they put out attempting to explain away their mistake is pathetic. There is nothing remotely objectionable in my book and nothing remotely approaching ‘hate speech.’
For Amazon to continue to insist that the book is borderline ‘hate speech’ and that it is a tough call on whether or not to sell it is nothing short of ridiculous.
Getting banned from Amazon can matter significantly in the publishing industry, given that the company controls about 50% of all book distribution. Amazon had previously sold Anderson’s book, which was published in February 2018, but suddenly reversed itself at the onset of the Biden administration in February 2021. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
