what should simmons call me

for the love of simmons college

Hi everyone:
For those of you who have been following the uproar over Smith College —another prominent women’s college— horrible policy of not admitting trans* women into their undergraduate program, this may be of interest.
I applied to Simmons College —a prominent women’s college— with an application that clearly identified me as a trans* woman and spoke of my work within the trans* community. They never questioned my gender markers or asked me about being trans* and  responded with the letter above.
To all who work in admissions at Simmons, thank you for leading by example. Smith —despite being labeled a safe haven for the queer community— clearly has a lot to learn from your institution.

Yeah Simmons- way to be awesome yet again!
