When Women Become Men at Wellesley College (NY Times article)

<p>What about hermaphrodites? There was an article about female track stars who were found to be hermaphrodites - they had both male and female reproductive organs, but cryptorchidism. </p>

<p>The mere fact that hermaphrodites exist, and aren’t even that uncommon:
<a href=“How common is intersex? | Intersex Society of North America”>http://www.isna.org/faq/frequency&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>means that the idea of gender being set is antiquated.</p>

<p>I liken gender-reassignment surgery to any other kind of plastic surgery. I couldn’t breathe right through my nose, so I had septoplasty. It was a choice that made my life easier.</p>

<p>That being noted, I cannot believe you can complain about a school not allowing blacks or Asians or whites or Native Americans or Hispanics, but then an all-female or all-male school is okay? It boggles the mind.</p>

<p>(and I don’t feel that men are unsafe any more than I feel blacks are unsafe - that’s just as offensive)</p>
