Transgender student denied admission to all-female Smith College
Daily Caller ^ | 03/21/2013 | Eric Owens

A transgender high school student who applied to prestigious, private, all-female Smith College has been rejected because the school only accepts women.

Smith returned Calliope Wong’s application — and application fee — earlier this month, reports The Advocate.

“As you may remember from our previous correspondence, Smith is a women’s college, which means that undergraduate applicants to Smith must be female at the time of admission,” admissions dean Debra Shaver wrote in a letter to Wong, The Advocate says.

Wong has identified as female for several years, according to the Keystone Student Voice. However, on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Wong apparently checked the gender box saying male.

According to The Advocate, Smith’s rejection places reliance on the laws of Connecticut, Wong’s home state. The state categorizes Wong as male and would only recognize Wong as a female after expensive, complex sex reassignment surgery.

On August 15, 2012, Wong identified on a Tumblr blog as “a male-to-female transsexual girl.”

“Yes, I was born into a body with typically male parts,” Wong blogged last fall. “But I identify and am living as female. Prevailing scientific and medical opinions support the fact that who I am identity-wise is different from the gender identity typically associated my physical body.”

Not all. Some transgender guys still like girls, so they are actually trying to change themselves into lesbians.

The interesting thing is when the transgender guy is dating a girl. She isn’t lesbian, she’s dating a guy, but the guy identifies as a girl, and is thinking about sex change. When he finishes, he’ll be a “girl”. Then she’ll be a lesbian?

Well, if he/it ends up marrying the admissions dean, he will be a Calliope Wong-Shaver.

He should sell tickets: "Hey, Smith girls, ride the Calliope!"

Never, ever tell someone why you are rejecting them, not for a job, not for a date, and not for college admission.

That's great advice. "Thank you for your application to Smith College. Regretfully, we have a headache."

“But I identify and am living as female.”

Every cell in your body disagrees. Self-mutilation does not change that fact.

Sorry, Wong. All-female does not mean females and mutilated men.

Chaz Bono's female partner dumped him after all the work was done. She didn't like living around all that testosterone behavior.

Self-acceptance: it's a wonderful thing. Here we have many thousands of American veterans living with disfiguring wounds, and getting on with it. But these genderwussies can't decide whether to sit or stand to pee.

Rush Limbaugh has always self-identified as a Male Lesbian.

Says that’s the only PC way to be attracted to women, and he suspects that there are many lesbians trapped in mens’ bodies who have decided that surgical intervention is neither indicated nor necessary.

I dont know, if elementary school and high school kids have to have transgendered students in their classes, I would expect that Smith would cave.

I have never understood why some enterprising young man has not sued the sh** out of Smith, ala VMI, and gotten a free education with the monies he gets. I would never GO there but they are a school waiting for a lawsuit. And deserve one.

You don’t even want to know how they take the penis and make it into a ‘vagina’.

It’s brutal.

Not possible.

Wong is not female.

Wong can never be a female.

This is reality.
