Academics have spoken out against censorship in universities on the issue of radical gender ideology. They say any attempts to discuss the far-reaching implications of possible changes to legislation see them branded ‘transphobic’.They believe some censorship is a result of universities trying to be politically correct, while at other times it is coming from student activists. Selina Todd, vice-principal of St Hilda’s College, Oxford, says she has been threatened by students who say they will campaign to have her removed from her position, something she called “intimidating and isolating”. She said: “The view of these activists is that anyone who feels themselves to be a woman should be allowed to call themselves such. Questioning that desire is seen as hate speech that could be harmful. To me that is censorship.”
