Regardless of your views on gender, Bellos speaking at Cambridge University in no way compromises the welfare of its students. It is ludicrous to claim that someone who has committed her adult life to liberation politics is a risk to the wellbeing of those who listen to her perspective – and deeply insulting. Black, female, Jewish and lesbian feminist, Bellos is not exactly a preacher of hate.

In recent years, gender has become an increasingly explosive subject. If anything, it was brave of Bellos to propose to address this schism between queer and feminist principles when so many seasoned activists shy away from the issue. And there is an issue: that women can’t even question queer gender politics without being viewed as suspect highlights an underlying problem with the ideology behind them.

The article is from October 2017!

OMG, sorry! It was on mt Facebook feed and I did not look at the date. But it IS interesting to note that Guardian published that two years ago, but would never do so today. That's what astonished me.

In my defence, it was posted on FB today by both Posie and another outspoken GC friend.
