    Sade's Child Ila Adu is Not Welcome to Apply at Spelman College

    Spelman College alumni are outraged at the historically black all-women college changing its admission policy to exclude biological women for the first time in the school’s history.

    Spelman College, which is part of the Atlanta University Center, has announced it will ban biological females who identify as men.

    The formerly all-women college is opening its doors to transgender males for the first time in history.

    In a letter sent out to students on Tuesday, President Mary Schmidt Campbell announced that the school will admit transgender men in 2018.

    The letter notes that “Spelman does not admit male students, including students who self-identify and live consistently as men, regardless of gender assignment at birth.”

    This means butch lesbian women who “live as men” are not welcome at Spelman College, even though they have vaginas. How does excluding biological women help to empower women? Why would anyone want to send their young daughters to such a backward thinking college?

    Read the entire letter here.

    Campbell’s new policy would exclude the daughters of singers R. Kelly and SadeIla Adu and Jay Kelly — both of whom now live as men.

    People who are intolerant of transgender men are branded “homophobic”. What is it called when an entire school is intolerant of transgender women?

    What is the difference between a man who is transgender and a woman who is transgender?

    Apparently, Campbell and the politically correct staff at Spelman College believe there is a big difference as they proceed to protect the delicate snowflake students from women who are considered a threat.

    Why is Spelman tolerant of transgender males while rejecting transgender women?

    It seems that Spelman College — a historically black college for women, has forgotten its mission to empower and educate WOMEN — that means biological women who think they are men.

    Campbell needs to be reminded that transgender women are still biological females who deserve empathy, understanding and an education.

    @Nick Delmacy why are you perpetuating ignorance by posting this very subjective piece without any context?

    you missed the part i said about it being very subjective. a discussion on trans men being discriminated is a worthy conversation, but when the reading assignment uses phrases like, "gender confused..." it takes the credibility away from the discussion. Not only that, most intelligent people have wrapped their heads around the idea that biology doesnt always correspond to gender identity.

    Ah Hell! smh I knew something like this was going to happen. In my opinion, Spelman should have never announced anything publicly on the issue since it's just a can of worms. The school will never win in the public eyes. Morehouse had to deal w/ the "plastics" and you see how that turned out.
    :ravetho: :fakenews:
    I remember years back when a male student transitioning into female wanted to transfer to Spelman and was denied. I think in this "current time" they were forced to make a decision on "the issue". In my opinion, they should just allow cis gender women only; but they would prob get a lot of backlash for it. 100dap:yeshrug:

    I personally don't get if you want to be a man why would you want to go to an all women's school over a co-ed one. And wouldn't a trans women feel out of place at an all girls school over a coed one smh. Im soo confused. :nopekid:

    But how does any of that let Spelman off the hook? What context would change the outlook about Spelman and this decision though?

    The concern I raised has nothing to do with Spelman being left off the hook for anything. It was the choice of articles that was selected to tell this story. Language and how it is conveyed matters and without proper context, it could be interpreted in a manner that, as i said, perpetuates ignorance and increases bias.

    Spelman instituted a policy that welcomes transgendered women, not gender confused men. Biology does not necessarily correspond to gender, given that gender is a social construct. Womanhood and manhood are expressions of gender. When one becomes transgender, it is assumed that they are completely giving up the former for the latter.

    Spelman is a school for women and they are making a public affirmation that they consider transgender women, women. Is it politics? In Sarah Palin's voice, "you betcha." But im sure that regardless of what any of us think, Spelman made a calculated decision--meaning that the development team was a part of the decision (contacting donors)--and they surely have weighed the costs and benefits.

    The same reason a straight man would want to go to school at Spelman would be the same reason a transman would wanna go there. There's a reason men aren't allowed, so an individual that identifies with a man should not be allowed to attend for those reasons. A transwoman would definitely want to go to a school like Spelman if she is into the whole womanhood, empowering thing. More than anything, folks want to accepted and affirmed and this could do that for transwomen who choose to go there.

    Ah okay, I see the issue @Sean. In my rush to post this on the boards before I went out to hit the LA streets I just skimmed the article, didn't notice Sandra Rose's terminology...which is odd since she's a lesbian blogger...but then again, she's been accused of being self hating and homophobic on many occasions, so I shouldn't be surprised.

    *Revised the original article to make it less distracting to the main issue*

    Transgendered men are female when it's convenient. Biologically female but want kids? No problem! Get pregnant. Biologically male but still like to top? No problem! Remain forever pre op.

    I really don't understand why a person who now identifies as male could expect that they'd be accepted at a female school. It would seem that you'd want to be accepted as male across the board as that's what you'd identify as. Apply to Morehouse. Or who knows? Maybe that's too scary because we men are sexual predators and could r...hey! who smells like bacon?

    Basically because they're female they're attempting to use feminism and female empowerment?

    I think the idea of single gender schools is outdated. They are relics from a time when they separated people based on gender to prevent them from having sex/being distracted by dating because they didn’t know that gays, bi’s and situational homosexuality existed.
