It does feel weird to me that Sokals more recent writing/activism¹
on 'academic freedom' being mostly very concerned about the
freedom to be a transphobe doesn't seem to play any role in that
piece. Because that's one of the more obvious connections between
his views from the nineties with current right wing to fascist
mobilization.
