With the focus on academic freedom and ideological hegemony, I can't help but feel like this article is tilling the soil for something akin to a "teach the controversy" campaign [1], i.e. the sort of thing that ideological movements turn to when they've run out of actual arguments that can stem the tide of a shifting consensus and have no option left but to invoke a sort of meta-debate about whether their ideas are receiving a fair hearing. It's not clear to me that "gender critics" are more broadly embracing this stance, but it wouldn't be much of a shock at this point.
I suppose I'll keep an eye out for the announcement of "Expelled 2: No Gender Allowed" [2].
