More and more schools are recognizing us in our true gender, this time it is a men’s college.
Smith College, a women’s college in Northampton MA also has policy for trans students; they accept only trans women, they do not accept trans men but one difference is that I believe Smith allows trans men who trans transition while attending Smith are allowed to stay.
Morehouse College to admit transgender men in 2020I can understand why people chose to go to a single gender college and it is great that the college affirms their gender.
The historically black men's college said students who identify as women will not be considered.

Morehouse College, the uniquely black, male alma mater of Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson, announced Saturday that it will begin accepting transgender men as students in fall 2020.
College officials said in a statement that the new policy, approved by trustees, would not include "individuals who identify as women regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth."
Students who transition to female during their time at the Atlanta school will not be eligible to graduate but can appeal to Morehouse's president, officials said.
"I think Morehouse having the courage to speak to issues of masculinity in today’s environment is important,” Morehouse College President David Thomas told the Associated Press. "For 152 years, the world has, in some way, seen Morehouse as the West Point of black male development."
Smith College, a women’s college in Northampton MA also has policy for trans students; they accept only trans women, they do not accept trans men but one difference is that I believe Smith allows trans men who trans transition while attending Smith are allowed to stay.
