Back when I used to watch them, I found that Max himself and others under the greyzone umbrella are outright transphobic.

There are some examples in this article: https://socialistcurrents.org/?p=4428

I noticed this on some of their videos on youtube as well. I think that they do valuable reporting on a number of anti-imperialist causes, particularly with respect to Palestine, but I'm not going to watch people regularly who are outright bigoted against trans people like me.

Ben Norton does great work though, I watch him regularly, the Geopolitical Economy Report is well researched and well presented and I've yet to get a whiff of this sort of bigotry from him. Glad he went his own way.
