<p>Well, you are just going to have to trust that I am nothing like a socially conservative “get off my lawn” type. In fact, I’m very socially liberal. I have no issues / problems with someone switching gender if that is what he or she believes is right for them, and would be supportive in real life. I ask the same question the way I’d ask why a Christian-conservative-who-has-decided-to-become-a-secular-atheist would want to stay at Liberty University which is designed for evangelicals. </p>
<p>I never said a college doesn’t have the right to define its mission as they see fit, and include / exclude who they see fit. But it begs the question - if this man is now at this school, why not other men? Why should a FtM have special privileges to be a member of the Smith community that a born-male doesn’t? Look, I couldn’t care less if Smith decided to go co-ed tomorrow - that’s their decision / prerogative. But either you’re a single-gender school or you’re a co-ed school. If you’re single-gender, then you’re for those people who were either born that gender and have stuck with it, or people who are transitioning to / now living as that gender (in whatever stage of completeness, I suppose). In other words, a MtF at a woman’s college makes more intuitive sense to me than a FtM who is, by definition, rejecting being a woman (understandably of course).</p>
