(2/3) We apologize to our trans members and to the trans community for this terrible incident and the pain we caused them. We also apologize to the LGBTQIA+ community at large, and to our bookselling community.

Passive voice. You included an anti-trans book. It did not appear out of thin air. People made decisions and created this list and sent it. Just as a poorly worded tweet was not simply sent, someone wrote the tweet, approved it, sent it.

I’d take more issue with the ridiculous, melodramatic use of the word “violent” to describe a reading list, if I were you, English Expert.

Was this “serious, violent incident” like when my daughter hurled a copy of Bridget Jones Diary at the wall? That WAS “violent” because I had to listen to her fury at wasting time reading rubbish. V, V, Violent, BTW!

Y'all don't know how to apologize. It should be: "We included a transphobic book in our July mailing to members. This is a serious, violent incident that goes against ABA's end policies, values, and everything we believe and support. Our actions are inexcusable." (1/3)

"We apologize to our trans members and to the trans community for promoting bigotry, and causing you pain. We also apologize to the LGBTQIA+ community at large, and to our bookselling community." (2/3)
