All-Women’s College Cancels “Vagina Monologues” Play Because It’s Not “Inclusive” of Transgender
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 01/16/2015 5:51:02 AM PST by TigerClaws

How many transgender students are currently enrolled at Mount Holyoke? . . . Zero.

Via Campus Reform:

Mount Holyoke College, an all-women’s college in Massachusetts, is retiring its annual production of the Vagina Monologues this year because the play is not inclusive of transgender students.

The annual production of the play is part of a country-wide tradition to perform Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues on Valentine’s Day to raise awareness about gender-based violence and usually coincides with the V-Day campaign. The proceeds are donated to sexual assault prevention organizations or women’s rights organizations.

I'm reminded of a thread from October:

Students: Transgender Woman Can’t Be Diversity Officer Because She’s a White Man Now

There ought to be a law that every group (or business or team) should have at least one of each type of person: woman, man, child, gay, straight, bi, tranny, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, every nationality, every race, every ethnicity, every religion, each political persuasion, etc. in other words, every group should look exactly the same to ensure, under penalty of law, that every classification of people is represented by the group. Otherwise, the group should be declared illegal and disbanded. If diversity is really so great, why won’t this work?

Furthermore, we should all agree about some topic or story that is “good enough” and not offensive to anyone. Then, all books, movies, and plays can just be about that.

I think this would solve a lot of problems.

I was going to suggest that they rename it the "Vaginanal Monologues".
That way they can keep the posters and just add the "nal" with a sharpie.

I'm very surprised they would risk offending that DNC Special-interest group:
