Sen. Tom Cotton: Amazon’s Ban of Transgender Book Enforces Political Correctness

On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., delivered an impassioned speech Tuesday that was critical of Amazon’s censorship of a book that expresses a widely held, commonsense view of gender. A lightly edited transcript follows.

Most Americans know that there are two sexes, male and female, and that sex is rooted in science.

Most Americans also know that we ought to treat all people, including those who feel conflicted about their gender, with respect and dignity, without sacrificing the truth in the process.

These beliefs, though, are now under attack from some of the most powerful corporations in the history of the world.

  1. WOW modern day book burning.. WHOS next!! You Better belive it..the bible and those who believe in its truths are on the list.. will we be canceled the bible banned as hate speech. When in fact GOD loves us all and expects christains to do the same. Its not for us to judge but to bring people to HIM! It should have been expected considering who owns amazon! He has lost his way!!
    The reason preferred pronouns present a dilemma for Christians is that they imply something the Bible indicates is false: that a person can change genders or be born into the wrong biological sex. Referring to a person who is biologically male as “she” or “her” is, in literal terms, to say something untrue. Worse, when it comes to an issue such as transgenderism, using preferred pronouns can be construed as enabling or endorsing a harmful, unbiblical situation.

    From a spiritual and scriptural standpoint, then, the literal intent behind preferred pronouns is unbiblical. Men are not women, and vice versa. Other than a tiny percentage of persons who are biologically intersexed and deserving of special consideration, there are no third, fourth, fifth, etc., genders, nor any basis for a person to “choose” such a thing. For the same reason that believers ought not pretend that other faiths offer salvation (John 14:6) or that other gods are real (1 John 4:1) or that something sinful is morally right (Isaiah 5:20), many believers conclude that it’s immoral to enable the basic premise behind the use of preferred pronouns
