Index on censorship disappoints again.

Written by Benjamin Lynch not Ruth Smeeth. I don't know him at all.
About Biden's first week.
Of the more than two dozen orders signed, at least six will have ramifications for Americans in terms of their freedom of expression.

Index takes a look at how each will do just that.

Preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation

Perhaps the most notableexecutive ordersigned in the last week is the order to prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Discriminatory bans on LGBT+ people can often stop them from speaking out.

The order says: “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes.”

The order will end the ban on transgender students competing in sports teams for their identified gender.

Commenting on the order, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said: “The ACLU urges the Biden administration to not only roll back Trump administration policies discriminating against transgender and non-binary people, but take action to more fully recognize transgender and non-binary people. The ACLU’s priority for the Biden administration is an executive order related to accurate ID documents.”

No mention on stopping girl's and women from speaking out. I really miss Jodie Ginsburg.

Damn. The ACLU has some curious civil libertarians, rather unlike anything I've seen from them before.
