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.”

You can identify yourself as a toaster, but that doesn't mean that burned bread will pop out of your mouth or that you'll go on a shooting spree if you see a Colonial Warrior.
Put Wong in the Smith residence hall. The dykes there will have the bulk of the surgery completed by the first week of September.
Just because Mr. Wong is confused about his gender does not mean that the world must be confused too.
Smith is being horribly politically incorrect here. I mean if Calliope's SATs are higher than Obama's , she deserves admission.
"Mom, Dad, this is my room-mate, Calliope."
Technically, Calliope is a eunuch and as such deserves scholarship status in if not Smith, the upper reaches of the Republican Party.

Shudder, shred, and shut up.
I think it's a scam. When he got there he/she would suddenly discover it's a lesbian...
The real irony here is that Northampton, where Smith is located, is a real epicenter of Homosexual identity. I would have to estimate that more than half of Smith’s student population is lesbian. That they would reject this person is truly surprising.
Now, I was wondering when a TG student would be refused admission to one of those ELITE Women's Colleges.
When will I see a TG basketball player play in the WNBA? Or a TG FTM play in the NHL?
Soon I guess...
Could be. I hope so. And I hope many follow suit.
What is Smith going to do, question his diversity?
That's the beauty of this.
That sure is biggoted and small minded of Smith College./sarcasm
They need a good civil rights federal lawsuit to see where liberalism leads to.
Northampton is about 97% lesbian/Gay IMHO...A few years ago we were driving to Vermont and we pulled off 91 to get gas, There was a fair and you couldn’t believe the kids there with either 2 dads or 2 moms....we were looked at as the odd couple (mom and dad).
As much as I appreciate seeing standards (finally, and very low, but at least it's an absolute standard), this response was imprudent. The correct response would be a sweet, "due to this year's large number of qualified applicants, we are unable to accept all qualified applicants; Smith College regrets that we are unable to offer you admission at this time . . ." Never, ever tell someone why you are rejecting them, not for a job, not for a date, and not for college admission.
In fewer words, he is saying he's mentally ill. Those opinions "prevail" only with MSM journailists and a handful of leftie celebritydocs.
Guess Smith gals want "no parts" of this delusional applicant.
It's kind of funny, since Smith is a radically lesbian leftie campus. A conservative friend of mine actually got beat up there in her naïve freshman year when she wrote an article for the campus paper in support of our troops. Ahhh, liberals. They're so consistent....not.
I think the left eliminated every one of the all male colleges, through law suits and courts.
