I'm pro trans rights, pro LGBTQ, and also very much value free speech.
There is a trend on the political left right now that basically equates speech directly with violence (e.g. asking whether a man is capable of getting pregnant is violence)
>Academic content that undermines the dignity or rights of specific groups
>We commit to using this guidance cautiously and judiciously, consulting with ethics experts and advocacy groups where needed.
It seems very likely to me that this policy is going to give advocacy groups and crusaders the ability to start censoring scientific publications that disagree with what they are saying.
