I'm guessing I must have listed the table of contents in addition to the blurb, because there's a story in this collection called "Cock for a Day." Aside from that, I don't know what their issue would be. But, honestly, Google Play is banning books for COCK? It's not as stupid as last week's this-cum-that example, but it's still... gah! Corporate censorship.
Google Play is officially worse than Amazon. Congratulations! What an amazing achievement.
If you'd like to buy My Mistress' Thighs: Erotic Transgender Fiction and Poetry, it's available like everywhere on the planet except Google Play. Kobo also banned it last year. I don't remember if they unbanned it, but this happened about a month after Kobo threw indie authors under the bus by removing ALL our books and also saying derogatory things about erotica writers, so... yeah.
Anyway, what was I saying? Oh right, about this banned book:
Rainbow Awards Honourable Mention
Praise for My Mistress’ Thighs: Whether this is your first encounter with Giselle’s work, or simply your latest, I daresay there’s nowhere better to find yourself than between (the pages of) My Mistress’ Thighs.~Sally, Bending the Bookshelf
Erotic
Transgender Fiction and Poetry
A
cross-dressing cowboy, a post-war pin-up, and a wolf in grandmother's clothing
all find a special home in My Mistress' Thighs.
This
collection of erotic trans and genderqueer fiction makes room for everyone.
There's a secret solstice sacrifice, a case of spring fever, an online romance,
and a Wednesday night dinner routine that's anything but dull.
From
the timid closet dresser of Love in the Time of Instant Messenger to the
post-op rodeo queen of Leslie Goosemoon Rides Again, all who seek love find it
in the world of Giselle Renarde Erotica.

and a bunch of other places. But not Google Play.
It seems a shame to ban your books just because you used the word cock in the table of contents.
ReplyDeleteUuuugh. I'm increasingly glad that I picked this one up in the last days of loveyoudivine. I hate that this is a possibility in my mind, but could they be flagging the word "transgender?" Not that it's OK in any way if they are.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is silly of me, but I feel like the many sonnets this book contains ought to somehow insulate it from all this. "Look! Sonnets! Cultural and artistic value!!"
