For a very long time Women’s colleges didn’t allow trans women to enroll; do you remember when Smith College in 2015, this was after Smith College rejected a trans woman in 2013 and in 2017 Wellesley College in Massachusetts saw the light and began admitting trans women. Also Bryn Mawr and Barnard admit trans women and now another women’s college is admitting trans women.
It is interesting that some of the other women’s colleges that don’t allow trans women are in Massachusetts which just reaffirmed our right to public accommodation and the college that just accepted trans women is in the south.

The second oldest all-women college in the United States is now accepting trans women students.
Stephens College, Missouri, unanimously expanded its definition of womanhood to include both sex and gender. That means cis and trans women can both apply. Cis and trans men are excluded from the college, according to Inside Higher Ed.
The policy says: ‘The college’s undergraduate residential women’s program will continue to admit and enroll students who are women and who live as women, just as it always has.
‘It will also admit and enroll students who were not born female, but who identify and live as women; those students will need to provide legal documentation that they are legally women or that they are transitioning to female.’
