Trans men at women's colleges

[lullabee_lj]

I'm a first-year at a women's college. Some of the students are trans men; however, as far as I can tell, there are no trans women. See, the policy is that if you're legally female, you can enroll. So, since most trans women are not legally female when they're around 17-19

Its one of the things where i don't think it should be held against the trans man, but that it is exceptionally fucked up on an institutional level, to allow trans men at a women's college, but not trans women. The schools policy invalidates the identity of both the trans men it allows and the trans women it does not.

Yes, this. Exactly.

Although, I can absolutely imagine some nightmare scenarios (think a trans version of Soul Man) where straight guys try to pass as trans women just to get on campus.

Well, stop imagining those scenarios!

Honestly, if he's going to live as a trans woman just to look at pussy, that's his funeral. By November, he'll get sick of shaving his legs and will want to go home. He can then raise money for a transfer by sitting in a dunk tank and letting all the legitimate trans women dunk him. Then all the cis women. Then the admissions staff. Then...

And there are co-ed schools. Honestly, I'm sure he'd just find out that aside from the occasional streaker at oh-dark-thirty, there's not much in the way of naked women about.

Just... not that old saw, please...

Except that is a harmful, fictional nightmare scenario that gets repeated during "MEN IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM!" moral panic over gender identity legal protections, and has never actually happened.

This is a stupid scenario and you should feel stupid for having thought that it was a good idea to tell anyone else you thought it.
