NEW ACTIVISM Luke Woodward, center, and Claire Caleshu, right, both students at Brown University, are seeking a better environment for transgender classmates like Luke.

Yep, my alma mater strikes again!

At Smith, the women's college in Northampton, Mass., students voted last year to eliminate female pronouns from the student constitution at the request of transgender students. "She" and "her" were replaced with the phrase "the student."

Laurie Fenlason, a college spokeswoman, said that "the vote was undertaken by the students as a gesture of good will toward a handful of fellow students."

But the change was not without controversy. "It contradicts the whole point of having a women's college," said Esi Cleland, a Smith sophomore. "I am opposed to it, because there's something to be said for a women's college, and a lot of us come here because we choose to be in an environment where women are the primary focus."

I'm still not sure what the point is of having a women's college if they're going to admit students who are men pretending/claiming to be women...

Chair of the English dept. at Colby College in Hooterville, ME decided he was a she.

So, he had his genitals mutilated and is making a career out of being a tranny poet.

Wierd sh*t.

Wife didn't take it well.

Zachary Strassburger, a sophomore at Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Conn., said he "came out" to his parents as "trans" in the 10th grade. (Luke and Zachary, who were born female, asked to be referred to with male pronouns.)

Hmmm, trans, but want "male" pronouns. Perhaps being trans, they should adopt names such as Pat, Terry, Micky, Bobby, and Laurie.

As to whether he will have further surgery, Luke said he hasn't decided. "This is often the first thing people ask me — about whether I'll get surgery `down there,' and I think it is really weird," Luke wrote

What? Slicing off your breasts and calling yourself a man isn't weird?.

We are creating a society of freaks and letting them dictate the downfall of our society. (I was going to write the downfall of our "civilization," but I'm not sure we can call it that any more.)

Why do these people consider sexual preference to be an immutable characteristic, but sex itself to be an artificial societal construct, freely changeable almost at will?

Now he and several other Brown students are pressing the university to create more single-stall bathrooms, so students who don't look clearly male or female can avoid harassment.

Translation: I'm different so the government must take care of me!

Isn't the whole deal with going to a women's college to be around women, not men who want to be women, or women who want to be men? What am I missing here? Men are not welcome, but he/shes are?
