That is awesome that your daughter found such a welcoming place. I get why transwomen attend a women’ college, but why would the school accept someone who is a transman? You said there are transmen there. Isn’t this completely against the whole purpose of the school? How do the women feel about having a man in their classes and dorms?[/quote]

So, I think the schools handle this differently. Some of them do not allow you to apply if you’re already living as a man. (Honestly, I can’t remember which ones. Wellesley is sticking out in my mind but I’m not sure. Whereas I think Mount Holyoke does, but I could be wrong.) But if you transition while you are there, they let you finish your degree.

I’d imagine this generally happens because someone realizes they’re trans in college or has the freedom to come out. And then maybe they have friends. They like the school. Maybe they got a scholarship. I’m not sure.

I don’t know how they feel. At several of the schools you already have some men in your classes. So that is not strange. My daughter isn’t friends with any trans men, so I don’t know. [/quote]
