Wellesley College Students Vote to Admit Trans Men and Nonbinary Applicants, Adopt Gender-Neutral Language.

Students at Wellesley College in Massachusetts have approved a ballot initiative proposing that the college change its admissions policy to welcome all transgender and nonbinary applicants. Currently, the school only accepts applications from "those who live as women and consistently identify as women," which includes trans women and nonbinary students who "were assigned female at birth and who feel they belong in our community of women." The initiative also called on the school to use gender-neutral language when referring to its student body in official communications. The college issued a statement acknowledging the result of the ballot initiative, which it stressed is non-binding.
