You write that “much of the public debate over the 2024 rule centered on its treatment of gender identity, but that debate lies beyond FIRE’s institutional concerns. Our objections center on civil liberties and exist independently from the Title IX rule’s impact on athletics or other disputes over the meaning of “sex.” I beg to differ. Sex is the most inherent and base factor affecting women’s - females’ - civil liberties. It’s disappointing that FIRE ignores this.
Another reason to be disappointed in FIRE. "Progressive's" views that everyone must use 'preferred pronouns' is a great example of compelled speech, and violates one of the principles of free speech.
