I’m just a bit sickened, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, by how eager these students are to turn on their supposed friend. What a brave woman.

Almost literally a witch-hunt; Gender ideology has hallmarks of a fundamentalist religion, with 'bigot' being the new 'witch'. There will be no reasoning with these people.

Most Cambridge students aren't studying gender, or if it does come up it's only in passing. You can teach thinking skills in maths or Anglo-Saxon or history of art or whatever it is, but it's entirely down to the students whether they chose to apply these skills to the rest of their lives.

There are certainly academics at Cambridge who specialise in and I imagine lecture on queer theory.

Good article in the Critic

Thea was a “bigot” (a go-to word for some at Christ’s, it would seem — and one that invites an obvious question about projection)

Ends with suggestions for actions the Vice-chancellor could take

If Professor Prentice wants to know how bad the problem is becoming, she should announce that the fourth topic in her series will be a debate on “the importance of women’s sex-based rights” — a “difficult issue” that, curiously, she has so far avoided – and take the show on the road, visiting each of her thirty-one colleges.

Each night, hurried by a security detail past masked protesters hoping to shut the event down, she could read the room: the aggressive body language, hostile gestures, sullen stares, staged walkouts, hyperventilated denunciations, the repeated calls for Cambridge’s “bigoted” Vice-Chancellor to resign for “debating trans lives”. At Christ’s, she could even read the slur carved into Thea’s door.

I was a member of Life (anti-abortion) at a red-brick university in the '80s. We were allowed to exist as a group, give talks and put up posters. We had some posters removed or defaced and certainly had a few heated exchanges with other women, but I never experienced anything remotely like what the TRAs inflict on GC students nowadays.
Why have some women become so nasty, petulant and unwilling or unable to debate with civility?

Fear. There have always been women who side with their oppressors and police other women on their behalf. And there have always been brave women who stand up to them.
