All-Male College Will Accept Trans Men

Morehouse College, an all-male,

150-year-old, historically black school

in Atlanta, will open its enrollment

to trans men, as reported in The NY

Times in mid-April. Once admitted,

students are expected to continue to

self-identify as men throughout their

matriculation. If they do not, they

will be asked to leave. Morehouse is

the second all-male college to adopt

this policy. The first was St. John's

University in Collegeville, MN.

Morehouse announced its

new plan a day after the U.S.

Military implemented its policy for

transgender troops. They are allowed

to enlist, but only if they present

as the gender to which they were

assigned at birth. They are also not

allowed to transition while they are

in the military.
