I backed the funding campaign to support people's right to express their views about gender self-ID. I don't have set views on the issue, + don't know the details of the case.

I think a couple imp notes: 1. It appears this was a decision not to renew a contract (not a “firing” mid-contract), and 2. CGD has a pretty clear set of values on this issue. Not renewing a consultant that openly espouses values in conflict with an org’s seems reasonable.pic.twitter.com/plF6swLe4G
Do read my article Joshua. It's not in conflict w the value of hiring people with the full 'spectrum of gender identities'.

One wonders whether Josh has thought this through to its logical conclusion, regarding why a diversity of views in a workolace is healthy. Does he approve because currently only people whose views he dislikes are punished?
