Wait what? Noam Chomsky is leftist, I haven't heard of "leftists" wanting to cancel him, I've only heard praise of him from the left.
Unless by the left you mean liberals. Those aren't leftist.
He's more of an anarcho-syndicalist actually. Calling him a communist is like calling ancaps fascists, it makes zero sense because it's the opposite side of the political spectrum.
The penultimate panel fits exactly with stuff I read about JK Rowling not supporting trans women, she had a huge flow of hatred but... she never promoted hate, she just said that in her opinion trans women are not real women. Which I don't agree with, and can hurt the feeling of said women, but is only an opinion. She got death threats and was called a fascist.
I didn't see the posts of her saying they weren't REAL women tbh, so idk for sure.

The interpretation of the one I saw that started the entire shitfest simply said:
.
Lumping trans women and biological women into the same group is not historically accurate or fair.
.
It denies the experiences, challenges, and suffering biological women faced throughout history. The battles they fought that would not have been faced by anyone born in a biological male body at the time. The same battles many of them are now LOSING because the ones taking their rights away are a minority... And if they speak up, they're labelled a bigot and told to shut the fuck up. Case in point: female sports teams, where women are now expected to compete against biological men... which is the exact problem they were trying to avoid by creating womens' sports teams to begin with
And just to prove her 100% correct, people promptly labelled her a bigot and told her to shut the fuck up.
.
Again, maybe on other posts she said something worse. But people were attacking her over this post anyway, so that's somewhat irrelevant in the grand scheme.
.
Nothing about tha original post came across as "down with trans people" to me. And I don't recall her denying trans peoples' own suffering or struggles in that post. It was just "don't deny/appropriate other peoples' history just to feel more comfortable in your own skin. You didn't go through the same things they did."
