Their legitimacy and power as a group is based on their reputation for intellectual honesty. If they label a dissenting opinion as discrimination or hate speech, they would need to pair it with a reasonable argument otherwise their reputation would decrease. This is a good thing. This is how groups should engage in politics.

It would be helpful if that document went into detail about what can be classified as discrimination, hate speech, etc. so as to make those terms less malleable and abusable. I also wish that it emphasized the intent of someone's speech and actions rather than the content or other's reactions to speech.
