[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is trans and at a seven sisters women’s college. I won’t say which one because honestly there are VERY few trans women there. My guess is less than five, if that. Many more students who identify as nonbinary or as trans men. (I have no idea how many…just more.)

In order to go to a women’s college as a trans woman, you’d have to know you were trans before applying, have supportive parents and have the good grades and ECs to get in and have a way to pay for it! And that would automatically limit many people. You’d also have to be ok knowing there wouldn’t be many other trans women. Because there just aren’t that many people in general!

My daughter has been very happy. It’s a very liberal environment, which we wanted (obviously). I worry less about her safety. She has not experienced any prejudice that I am aware of. I do think all of her friends are queer, but I know there are at least some straight girls because she’s complained about people taking their boyfriends to do things in the bathroom. 😂

She has been very happy so far. I think the traditions are really nice. I think it has the same issues as going to any very small school—mostly that there aren’t that many classes. Probably not the right choice if you want a party school. A lot of really smart nerdy nice kids that I have seen, but my daughter is a smart nice nerd so maybe that’s what I see! [/quote]

You’re awesome and your daughter is very lucky to have you as a mom.[/quote]

I agree with this. You sound like a good parent. It’s sad that so many kids are not able to be their authentic selves because of fear of how their families will react. While to you it probably feels natural to love your child as they are, it isn’t the case for many. So, sending my love to you and your family. I very much appreciate when people get this right.[/quote]
