Helen, I say this as an antifascist Jew & 3rd generation survivor of the Holocaust: you're racist & antisemitic.
Your book intellectually launders Bilek's transphobic adaptations of widespread conspiracies that rich Jews are corrupting society by funding progressive movements.

In January, while your book was being drafted, you have promoted Jennifer Bilek's "research" that targets Soros, Stryker, Pritzker, and Rothblatt as the "billionaire funders of transactivism". Current claims that you have no association with her will not erase this fact. 
Bilek is well known for her praise of white nationalist Keith Woods, a relationship that is mutual. Woods has attended live streams of the Jan 6th insurrection at DC alongside Richard Spencer and Hunter Wallace. He also circulates anti-Black talking points about "black crime".
Bilek is following the footsteps of Derrick Jensen, a DGR founder featured on nationalist platforms such as Counter-Currents. C-C is run by Greg Johnson who writes that Jews are "the principal enemy" of "every attempt to halt and reverse white extinction." archive.ph/Y5Iih
For March 8th, you were scheduled to speak alongside Bilek and, when challenged because of her antisemitism, stayed silent. Further challenges on your association with Bilek gets dismissed as "defamation" while tokenizing Jewish colleagues.

What's more, Chapter 1's focus on Hirschfeld and the Institute of Sexual Science repeats much of the propaganda used by the Third Reich to justify burning his research on trans health. You conveniently leave out him being Jewish or the role this played in his persecution.
A critical review of the book, expanding on this + your disinfo about the Memory Wars, is forthcoming.
In the meanwhile, know this.
1. Your claims that people are "cheapening" antisemitism by calling this shit out is grossly insensitive to those of us impacted by the Holocaust.

2. Your privileged, hypocritical leverage of legal threats against trans people, including trans Jews, under the guise of us "silencing criticism" is an act of intimidation that holds no weight here.
My family took on the Nazis. "Legal action" is meaningless to me. Get lost.
