You mean if they find out we can still stay if we say we think we're women?

In yet another sign of evolving attitudes toward gender identity, venerable Smith College will begin admitting transgender women.
Its board of trustees voted Saturday to clarify Smith's admission policy, said college President Kathleen McCartney in an announcement on Smith's website. The new policy will pertain to students applying in fall 2015 and thereafter who identify as women, even if they were born male.
"The board's decision affirms Smith's unwavering mission and identity as a women's college, our commitment to representing the diversity of women's lived experiences, and the college's exceptional role in the advancement of women worldwide," said the announcement by McCartney and board of trustees chair Elizabeth Mugar Eveillard.
Students who were born female but who now identify as male are not eligible for admission, the college said.

Smith joins a growing list of women's colleges in the United States that have recently updated their admission policies to include transgender women. The first, in August, was Mills College in Oakland, California, followed by Mount Holyoke, Simmons, Bryn Mawr and Wellesley. SNIP

even if you’ve got...
Transgendered "women" aren't women ... not really.
These poor souls are men in desperate need of help.
They’re not women.

IIRC, “My Way” was a pretty popular song.
Fixed it.
"Students who were born female but who now identify as male are not eligible for admission, the college said."
Well, that sure seems fair /sarc. Guess even thinking you're a male is enough to represent the threat of patriarchy to all the special little snowflakes at Smith College.
You mean if they find out we can still stay if we say we think we're women?
That is so MEAN!
My way is about overcoming odds on your own terms. Not a nod to Aleister Crowley who summed up his worldview this way, meaning “Screw what God wants, I do what I want to do”. :)
Oh no...
Bosom Buddies remake is going to happen isn’t it??
Whether the students are pre-op or post-op may play a role. They’ve had women who identified as male but who hadn’t had the operation for a while. Maybe after they undergo the surgery they get thrown out.
All this handwringing by the leftists for such a minuscule group. How did catering to trannies become an earthshaking issue? In the old days, if a guy came into the girls room he’d be lucky just to get a good ass-kicking.
I welcome the coming debt crisis, which as a side effect, will sweep away debt-sustained, post-modern, statist promoting institutions like Smith to change radically or simply die.
My 88 year old mother, still living, unable to comprehend the world around us anymore, received a Doctorate in Music and Math from this school. If she was in her grave, she’d be rolling over.
So...is a “trangender woman” a man? This crap is getting confusing.
did you remember from the other day’s post that pictures of tidal waves horrify me? or was this coincidence?
That should be a lawsuit. And is it safe to assume garden variety lesbians are OK to attend?
Well, let's see... if she looks like a woman but has a penis than I'd say it was a feminine MAN.
If it's a "woman" who has had her penis REMOVED than I would say you have a choice.
It's either a "women" without her penis.. or it's a man without his penis living as a woman.
There.. see how SIMPLE that was! /s
I remembered, because I posted it.
Bull dykes welcome, female trannies not welcome. Either way, there is a lot of carpet being munched.
