<p>I agree with Stacy. There are many gender non-conforming students at Smith, and it is generally a very welcoming environment for students of all gender identities. She also makes a good point as to the difficulty of going to a women’s college while not identifying as a women, especially if you eventually identify as male (as at job interviews your gender identity will be automatically outed to anyone who knows about Smith). I am by no means trying to dissuade you from considering Smith, as it is truly a great environment for genderqueer individuals, but it is important to consider the potential consequences of attending a women’s college as a non-woman (when some students come out as trans, they transfer to co-ed schools, but many also stay).</p>
<p>As a side note, I know Hampshire is an extremely welcoming college for gender non-conforming individuals.</p>
