“Science must respect the dignity and rights of all humans”
I&#x27;m pro trans rights, pro LGBTQ, and also very much value free speech.<p>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)<p>&gt;Academic content that undermines the dignity or rights of specific groups<p>&gt;We commit to using this guidance cautiously and judiciously, consulting with ethics experts and advocacy groups where needed.<p>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.
