beandelphikiI'm wondering why exactly people are jumping down the throats of the guy who posted in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ftm about going to a women-only college.
I understand and AGREE with what was said - we are men, and we don't belong AT ALL in women-only space.
But.
He specifically said that he does NOT have the money to transfer. The other suggestion seemed to be to wait it out, and that infuriated me, simply from the position of an MtM who will NOT wait to transition, no matter what the hell anybody thinks. It's MY body, goddammit. I do not have the patience, or the remaining SANITY to wait too much longer.
And I don't see why anyone should be telling him what to do with HIS body.
You know what my biggest problem with this is? I don't see why there should be such things as women-only colleges to begin with. Seems damn stupid to me, really. Why would anybody want to go to a college that was only populated by one gender? I see a lot of "inbreeding" happening - so to speak. Consider how women's colleges are rumored to produce all sorts of drivel-spewing brainless lemmings. Not that I believe that, of course.
(I tried to find the link for the Laura Croft thesis, but I couldn't. Damnit.)
