Hey guys! So I read this article, and it's kind of long but absolutely fascinating. If you're into gender equality and all that jazz you should definitely check it out.

Honestly, I didn't really know what to make of this article and was wondering what other people thought. I am a complete supporter of transsexuality and believe that everyone has equal rights and is entitled to the same opportunities. However, I think it's a whole other thing for these men to have entered as women, then transitioned into men, and expect the school to alter its beliefs/practices/what it stands for so that they can be comfortable. If they were to come back and embrace the goals of an all-womans school, that would be very different from them coming in questioning the school's objective.
