the New Index Librorum Prohibitorum.
Keywords:
Censorship, Gender ideology, Freedom of speech, Freedom of scienceAbstract
By banning the technical book When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment, by American researcher Ryan T. Anderson, from its platform, the giant Amazon demonstrated that it also adhered to the censorship impositions of gender ideology. In this article, several other examples of censorship and persecution are presented to those who contribute, in the scientific, social and cultural milieu, data and arguments that contradict the dogmas of gender ideology. Then, some fundamentals of the censorship theory will be critically exposed.
