Wellesley College Votes to Admit Trans Men and Nonbinary Applicants.

Students at Wellesley College, a women's liberal arts college in Massachusetts, have voted in favor of allowing transgender men and non-binary individuals who were assigned male at birth to enroll. The college currently accepts applications from people who "consistently identify and live as women," including cis, transgender, and nonbinary students. The vote is nonbinding, but the college plans to implement structural changes to support enrolled transgender students, including appointing a new director for the Office of LGBTQ+ Programs and Services and expanding all-gender bathrooms. Other women's colleges, including Smith College, Barnard College, and Bryn Mawr College, have already expanded their admissions to include transgender and nonbinary individuals.
