Bryn Mawr will accept applications from transgender women
Bryn Mawr College, an all-female college, announced Monday that it will soon accept applications from transgender women and from people who don't identify as men.
In a press release, the school said it would consider the applications of "transwomen and of intersex individuals who live and identify as women at the time of application." Bryn Mawr will also allow "intersex individuals who do not identify as male" to apply to the college, but those who were assigned female at birth and have taken "medical or legal steps to identify as male" won't be eligible for admission to the school.
