...An Oxford professor given protection after alleged threats from transgender rights activists says she did not want to "Wait and see if I'd get hit in the face" before taking action.
...Selina Todd, modern history professor at St Hilda's College, said members of staff accompanied her to lectures after learning of threats on social media.
...Prof Todd said the threats come from some campaigners who believe her views on the need to protect women's spaces, such as single-sex refuges, from people who self-identify as women but are anatomically male are unacceptable.
...Prof Todd told the paper that two students had warned her they had seen threats made against her on email networks they were a part of.
..."She continued:"This might sound like a storm in a teacup and something that's just about student activists but students become graduates and Oxford students tend to become graduates who go into things like politics, the media or the civil service.
