He emailed Laura and said her response was “extremely disrespectful.” He continued: “I am not a woman. I am a trans man who is part of your graduating class, and you literally ignored my existence in your interview.... You had an opportunity to show people that Wellesley is a place that is complicating the meaning of being an ‘all women’s school,’ and you chose instead to displace a bunch of your current and past Wellesley siblings.” Laura apologized, saying she hadn’t meant to marginalize anyone and had actually vowed beforehand not to imply that all Wellesley students were women. But she said that under pressure, she found herself in a difficult spot: How could she maintain that women’s colleges would lose something precious by including men, but at the same time argue that women’s colleges should accommodate students who identify as men?

I feel sorry for students like Laura. They want to be inclusive, yet they want their “sisterhood”. The moment someone identifies as male enters the foray, that ruins the latter possibility. The simplest solution would be to require every student to at least identify as female. That would solve the immediate problem of having females transitioning to or identifying as males on campus. However, it would cause the new problem of asking the students who identify as male to leave.

Yet I also do not feel sorry for the students. This is precisely what happens when political correctness is left to its own devices. Accommodating transgender views about sex and gender render the very concept of sex and gender moot. If you think a person can change their gender or sex, then neither two concepts are concrete. They essentially do not exist. They are simply social constructs no different than race or nationality. And if that is true, then there is little point to having an all-women college. There is no such thing as a “woman” or “female”.

Obviously most people do not believe that. Most people think there are only two sexes, male and female, and that these are biologically determined, not social constructs. I suspect that most people at Wellesley do not actually think people like Timothy are male. They simply go along with it for the sake of appearances. However, people like Timothy do not know or suspect that, so when they attempt to engage in normal school activities
