anti-woke crank Norman Finkelstein, so if you people can tolerate that anti-BDS, anti-black, misogynist piece of shit but can't tolerate a piece of shit who is transfeminized, i know what's the actual problem.

Jesus, that’s really harsh, I really can’t recall Finkelstein saying something seriously problematic about trans or black people. Open to evidence that he is, I just have never seen that side of him. I know he mocks woke or w/e but I haven’t heard anything too bad

He's very openly transphobic and has mocked Angela Davis in the past.

I knew about the transpobia, but daaaang, also racist and mysoginistic? I haven't seen much of his stuff but how does this get swept under the rug?
