KADOKAWA has cancelled the publication of “Irreversible Damage” due to a large negative reaction to the news online.
Roughly translated:
” The publication of the book, "Irreversible Damage: the Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters," which was scheduled for release on January 24, 2011, has been cancelled.
Immediately after we announced the publication of the book, we received a number of comments from many people regarding the content of the book and whether or not it should be published.
This book was intended to be an opportunity to deepen the discussion among Japanese readers on gender issues through events in Europe and the U.S. However, we sincerely regret that the title and catchphrase of the book have resulted in harming the people of which it is about.
We will take each and every one of your comments seriously, and our editorial department will continue to accumulate knowledge on this topic.
We apologize again for this matter.
