Transgender students find open door at more women's colleges

Until last year, Ninotska Love would have been barred from attending Wellesley College. She’s an accomplished student who has persevered through hardship, but under longstanding rules, the college would have rejected her because she was assigned at birth as a boy.

Now the rules have changed. This week, Love will become one of the first transgender women to attend Wellesley in the school’s 147-year history.

“For me to be accepted to one of the best colleges for women in the nation, it is a big validation of the person that I have become. At first I couldn’t believe it,” said Love, 28, who was born in Ecuador but fled to the U.S. in 2009 after being kidnapped and threatened because of her gender identity. “I’m so thankful to be here.”

Her arrival on campus reflects a quiet but momentous shift that’s taking place at a wave of women’s colleges that have begun allowing trans women. But even as many schools embrace shifting views on gender, some have been reluctant to change amid lingering differences over the role of women’s colleges. …

>When the first transgender-on-woman assault takes place on one of the women-only colleges, we’ll see if the real women on campus will complain about it.

They’ll be told not to be transphobic by the University cops and expelled.

I hope I haven’t gone queer or something.
I don’t have the wardrobe for it.

LOL! On the far side of 40 I have noticed that almost any girl under 25 that hasn’t kissed a fast-moving train looks like an angel. With the wonders of modern medicine and hormone therapy at my age I have to reach down and fondle the package before I proceed in spite of my lying eyes.

The older I get, the larger the age window becomes for women I find attractive. My luck at landing one is a bad as ever, though, and the ones in my age group are ... well, there’s a reason I live alone. LOL

There is a reason old age make men farsighted. It is like a “White Diamonds” soft lens filter so you cannot see the wrinkly mess up close.

Our God is a harsh god.

Some would explain the problem thusly: Due the vote, the pill, and no fault divorce, American women have largely been freed from accountability for their conduct (aside from gross criminality), and they have degenerated accordingly. From that point of view, they are only virtuous to the extent there is a functioning patriarchy to force it upon them. Correct or not, it’s an argument I’ve seen advanced to explain our current crop of feral females.

Mental. XY chromosomes equals a boy. XX chromosomes equals a girl.

Leftists say we are anti-science because we still believe XY chromosomes equals a boy, XX chromosomes equals a girl.

And then there's Zoosk.com.

I know that these dating sites are nothing more than a scam and 90% of the profiles listed are fakes as the web master is using public domain pictures to make up fake peoples for the site, however on the Zoosk there are some Very interesting photos on there. The ladies there can look like they can cure an accidental overdose of Viagra!

A peckerless dude is just that, a dude missing his pecker. His DNA will still be male his pelvic bone will still be male.

And if another student ever says anything “insensitive” she will be raked over the coals in the college judiciary process....

Exactly. If said person were to die in a fire, based on the bones, the medical examiner would conclude that a male died in the fire. Not a transformer or whatever they refer to themselves as.

Only a liberal would believe such a B.S. story.

With women’s colleges, sororities, etc. succumbing to this madness, dollars to doughnuts it’s only a matter of time before there’s stunning growth in the category of transgender ‘lesbians’ (i.e., heterosexual guys who ‘identify as a women’ but don’t bother with the dress-up charade and make no secret of their attraction to women).

Provided an opportunity, he/she/it wastes it: "Love is considering a major in women's and gender studies and later hopes to become a civil rights lawyer for LGBT students and immigrants."

Daily, sometimes hourly or minute-by-minute, leftists and democrats demonstrate they are the real science-deniers of the day!

Suppose you suddenly create a new victim group, with very special privileges and entitlements. Suppose you give the members the right to have a fellow employee fired, simply by saying that the employee didn’t use your “right” pronoun. Suppose that the members have priority in college admissions and job applications. Suppose that the government willingly pays for the psychiatric help and surgery.

Lo and behold you will have hordes of people entering the group! Especially when all it takes is to declare that you are in “transition.” You don’t need to actually change anything.

The benefits are enormous, and there are no drawbacks, in a society where nothing is right and nothing is wrong, and there is no shame, and you suddenly become “someone.”
