Amazon removal of a book critical of the trans movement

Amazon recently pulled off its store a book challenging some of the assumptions of the transgender movement. Do you think Amazon should be taking such books out of its online store or should be allowing the book to be sold on its platform?

Amazon should allow such books
61%
Amazon should take such books out
39%
