Right of Association
We women have lost the right for female people to meet in order to debate, organise, protest, advocate, and campaign for female-specific interests, without risk of harassment, threats, abuse, loss of livelihood/income, prosecution, or violence. Along with the elimination of lesbian-specific organizations and advocacy groups, because of gender identity ideology.

It’s the unspoken rules on campus that silence
"Debates about “gender identity theory” – the view that in any and all contexts, a woman is anyone who identifies as one – are highly charged within universities. The informal systems operating are not conducive to students expressing lawful views that challenge gender identity theory. A powerful socialisation mechanism operating in academia is to lay a charge of transphobia on anyone who dissents from gender identity theory, and to assert that their views are so “harmful” as to be beyond the pale of toleration." #Victoria
