Kent council bans transgender books in children’s library sections

Kent County Council removed transgender-related books from children's library sections, citing concerns over harmful ideologies. The council's decision faced criticism from opposition leaders and LGBTQ+ advocates. While Reform UK defended the move, claiming protection for children, others viewed it as censorship that could harm marginalized communities. The decision highlights a broader debate on inclusion, censorship, and the safety of LGBTQ+ youth in public spaces.
