Complaint Filed Against All-Women’s School Wellesley College for Allegedly Admitting Biological Males
“We know they are admitting biological males who identify as female. They make very clear that policy of admission on its website.”
The complaint alleges a Title IX violation, so this is for real.

All-women’s school Wellesley College responds to accusations of admitting biological male trans students
A Title IX complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education has accused Wellesley College, an all-women’s college in Massachusetts, of admitting biological male transgender students.
The college has responded to the allegations in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Wellesley is proud to be a women’s college that has been educating women who make a difference in the world for 150 years. We remain committed to our mission, and believe that our policies comply with civil rights law,” the statement read.
The complaint was filed by the national grassroots nonprofit conservative group Defending Education, and pointed to the college’s policy that considers for admission “any applicant who lives as a woman and consistently identifies as a woman.”
Defending Education’s complaint, filed June 25 with the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights, alleges that Wellesley is discriminating on the basis of sex in programs or activities that receive federal funding, in violation of Title IX. The complaint argues that the school’s policy undermines its status as a women’s college by allowing biological males who identify as women to enroll.
Sarah Parshall Perry, vice president and senior legal fellow at Defending Education, told Fox News Digital that Wellesley’s policy is not new.
“In fact, they started that policy back in 2015, so this is absolutely nothing new,” Perry said. “We know they are admitting biological males who identify as female. They make very clear that policy of admission on its website.”
The complaint says Wellesley updated its admissions policy in 2015 “to make anyone who identifies and lives as a woman — including trans and nonbinary people — eligible for admission.” It also cites Wellesley materials saying the college recognized that some students’ gender identities “could evolve” while they are enrolled.

I am on a womens’ college alumae page. They are up in arms against the feds investigating Smith for this. I do not get it.
These are the same women who were all about smashing the patriarchy and breaking glass ceilings in the 90s and men are optional. And who needs a p—-s in their life anyway.
Their cognitive dissonance is astounding to me.
You would think that there would have been a fiery debate about the ‘transgendered woman’ at old womens’ colleges. That they believed men are women with almost no debate at all tells us a lot about the mind of a liberal.
