      Nevermind that Contrapoints originally started becoming hated because she couldn’t keep her mouth shut about nonbinary folk (and non-passing binary trans people)… plus the whole Buck Angel thing.

      But I dunno maybe outing a trans woman against her consent is fine as long as you don’t criticize her while doing it.

    Using identity as a shield against serious accusations and criticisms… typical Herzlian.

    A self-proclaimed leftist, of all people, should not be distracting us from war crimes by repeating the tired mantra that anti-Zionist is code for antisemitic. If you feel like focusing on discrimination against Jews today, be my guest, but encouraging audiences to act paranoid about anti-Zionism is unhelpful. Raise awareness about anticolonial Jews like Jewish Currents, Jewish Voice for Labour, Independent Jewish Voices Canada, South African Jews for a Free Palestine, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, Never Again Action, Jewish Voice for Peace, Jewschool, American Council for Judaism, and similar. Help them provide abundant evidence refuting the myth that all Jews are or have to be Herzlians. Do not waste your, and more importantly, our time by indulging in hasbara.

    Totally not a cult. Had she been a cis white man, she would have gotten the same treatment.

      Honestly I probably would be more vicious in my critique. Though I’m a professional hater of smug white dudes so perhaps that’s a bit of a fringe case.

      She’s going down the Ethan Klein path and some people are still claiming sexism

      I had completely forgotten about her exact gender identity until I saw this thread. Knowing that she’s transgender changes absolutely nothing for me.

      Her career would’ve been buried by now.

    Didn’t know she was trans until this very moment, my opinion remains the same.
