Boston Marathon Embraces Nonbinary Athletes Amid Anti-Trans Legislation and Community Focus.

The 2023 Boston Marathon will feature a nonbinary division for the first time, with 27 runners registered. The Boston Athletic Association has been praised for its allyship in creating the division, which has been seen as a sanctuary amid a rise of anti-trans legislation. Cal Calamia, one of the runners, has been advocating for gender inclusivity in races and sees the nonbinary division as a way to make running more inclusive. The BAA settled on making the nonbinary qualification times equal to the female qualification times, and the nonbinary field will be treated like the male and female genders.

Wellesley College Votes to Admit Trans Men and Nonbinary Students.

Students at Wellesley College voted in a nonbinding ballot initiative to allow transgender men and nonbinary students to be eligible for admission, but the school does not plan to change its admissions policies. The college's "gender policy" currently invites applications from all those who live as women and consistently identify as women, including transgender women, as well as nonbinary people who were assigned female at birth and who feel they belong in the community of women. The vote comes at a time when the rights of transgender people are at the center of national debates, and students who support the initiative say the school's administrators have not done enough to support transgender students.

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.
