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."

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?

Frankly, it reminds me of that really old sitcom with Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari -- Bosom Buddies.
