The issue here - as whinging butthurt far-left-winger - is that these people also want to monopolize control of a space that hosts diverse populations including a lot of people not sharing their views, and where these strategies are also frequently used to shut up debate over what views are acceptable to express.
Their views are deeply offensive to me, and would have been back when I was a student too. I get sick to my stomach at the kind of attitude it demonstrates.
If they genuinely want to provide a "safe space" then they need to shut the hell up about these policies too, as they too are likely to cause offence. Otherwise it is simply hypocritical attempts to stifle the speech of just the people they disagree with.
