There are some things that I disagree with Finkelstein at the end of the video around puberty blockers.

Dr. Finkelstein has had a falling out with the traditional "left" and maybe his views on gender are anachronistic. I think there's a tendency to focus on that, rather than the 30 years of defending of the Palestinian right to exist that has cost him dearly. Let's not condemn him. He may be wrong, but he has paid a very heavy price to defend human rights.

This is mostly a response to what I imagine Hexbear is up in arms about.
