I can only hope that this is a hoax:

Trigger Warning - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
|
Not sure whether to laugh or cry. I hope it's a hoax. If not, there are some undergrads who seriously need to be punched right in their pussies . . . after the faculty and deans responsible for catering to their sensitive souls are publicly hanged.
Oh, shit, I should have prefaced my post with a trigger warning! 
I also take issue with Wilder's assumption that Kant, were he alive today, would have agreed with the politically correct ideology of Wilder Publications. And WFT does metaphysics have to do with identity politics anyway!
Unfortunately this is real. In fact, the same publisher has inserted the same disclaimer in reprints of American historical documents including the Constitution if we are to trust Amazon comment sections:
https://www.amazon.com/Constitution-Decl...nstitution Sad times. 
I note that work includes the Critique of Practical Reasoning and the Critique of Judgement. While the Critique of Pure Reason is largely ideologically neutral, I'm not sure the same applies to the other two works. I've read descriptions of part of them that suggests they are not so neutral.

Yes, but a warning label?!?
Wilder takes public domain books and gives the a niche reprinting. Some people want copies with trigger warnings. It's a lucrative market, and just one of the many ways you can get someone to pay you for something that they could get for free.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
They need to put those on bibles.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Wilder probably -would- put them in bibles. They have a rep for it. They gave Swedenborg the treatment, lol. It's part of their copyright cover.
