“‘Women’s colleges are, in my opinion, attempting to figure out how to support trans men, but there are more barriers to trans women who would like to attend their institutions,’ [D. Chase James] Catalano, a trans male who has worked on these issues with Mount Holyoke and Smith, said via e-mail. ‘The underlying question is, is an all-female college/university the ‘right’ location for a trans-identified man? …That is a deeper ideological question about what it means to support those who were once identified as women, and whether that support extends to transgender experiences.’”
—From an Inside Higher Ed article that tries to tackle a topic not often covered in higher education news, though it would have been nice if the editorial staff checked for inoffensive and inclusive terminology before creating the story’s headline, i.e. one that doesn’t refer to female-to-male students and alumni as “ex-women.”
