Extract: An irate customer posted to the discount supermarket's Facebook page after discovering that its Special Buys catalogue for this week includes the book The Boy in the Dress, by British comedian David Walliams, of Little Britain fame.

"Aldi — we are so very disappointed in your decision to stock a book within your store — relating to transgenderism in children," the woman, a retired nurse and grandmother who news.com.au has declined to name, wrote.

"Apparently it's available on Wednesday Sept 6th. We would ask that you reconsider your choice to sell it! Family and children must be protected in times where there are those whose agenda is to groom and sexualise them! We ask you to have a conscience in this matter!"

Another shopper wrote: "I agree with that woman ... 'Your role is not to propagate sexually confusing material to minors.'"

And a man chimed in that Aldi risked being seen as "taking the same stance as Woolworths in taking sides re the SSM debate, alienating a huge percentage of your customer base".
