One female-to-male transgendered student at Bryn Mawr published an essay about his reason for attending a women’s college in the student newspaper a few years ago. I can’t find the article right now, but it boiled down to him feeling safer at a women’s college. Straight men represented danger to him. (He’d been assaulted several times.) He also remarked that students at a women’s college seem to be more cognizant of gender and identity issues than young adults at large.</p>
<p>I was initially skeptical of the presence of trans-men at my women’s college as well. But if it doesn’t hurt anybody, doesn’t threaten the character of the institution and helps a few vulnerable individuals, why not?</p>
