Hm. I think the question turns into, have these people been affected by the instructional issues faced historically by women? If so, then Bryn Mawr is an appropriate place for them to be educated. If not, then not. And I think that one thing Bryn Mawr is going to have to do is be open to individuals' explanations of why they feel they are or are not in that group.

I certainly don't think we should be excluding people who have identified or been identified as something other than women, on that basis alone, as long as they meet the criterion outlined above: that they have faced those instructional issues. I think that if this is why Bryn Mawr is currently admitting FTM persons, then they're on the right track.
