A transgender female who applied to Smith College, an all-women's college in Northampton, Massachusetts, has been blocked from applying for admission to the school.
Calliope Wong, 17, was born a male but has been living as a female.
Though she identified as female on her application to the private college, her financial aid paperwork and social security information still list her as male, and thus the school returned her application.
The Connecticut high school senior has accused the college of discriminating against her.

I hope they stand firm, but this being MA that isn’t too too likely. OTOH, all-female universities seemed to be very protective of that status. Don’t want to let the camel’s nose under the tent.
Even if he gets it chopped off, he's still a "he". Gender is at the genetic level.
Maybe what messed up the application was that the recommendation letters had different pronouns.
Sounds like a case for the Supreme Court.
That's a man dressed up like a shiela!
Fixed it. Why do we waste time on nutjobs that are so confused they don't even know their own gender?
Sulu was queer.
I saw your post and thought it was too bad Johnny Cochran has left us, becuase he would do great at defending Smith College:
“If they cut your stick,
you’re not a chick!”
I know—pretty much what you wrote, but I wanted to make it scan in a Cochranlike manner.
I love it when liberalism is caught in a logical trap. You can’t be a liberal and think straight.
“just trying to remember what a calliope is shaped like...its some kind of musical instrument you blow into, right?”
Nope, wrong. It’s a steam driven “organ”. ;-)
(like they have on paddle wheel steam boats.)
If that dude EVER claims sexual harassment for being a "woman", prima facie evidence against it is that picture. NOBODY, not even Laz, would hit that. NOBODY.
Helen Thomas would recoil in horror at that picture.
Now I've got to go soak my eyes in battery acid. UGH!
This is like watching the Nazis fight the Soviets.
You don't even pick a side, you just root for a big fight.
LOL.
I always assumed Smith College was all-lesbian. And since this, er, person used to actually OWN one of those hated penises they don’t want her, um, that person around campus.
I think there’s even a sign as you drive up: “NO PENISES ALLOWED”
Not for nuthin, but he/she really would not drag down the fugly factor at Smith. (Yes, I said “drag.” Pretty funny, huh?)
“’Someone whose paperwork consistently reflects female identity will be considered for admission,’ Laurie Fenlason, Smith’s vice president for public affairs, said.”
Definition of a BIGOT, in today’s world, at least.
Let’s see if the left treats Laurie the same way they’d treat a Republican.
Calliope Wong.....you just can’t make this sh!t up.
‘I hope they stand firm, but this being MA that isnt too too likely.’
Just wait until the Just-Us department gets involved.
Put his pickle in a dick jar...
