Sunday NYT article about Transgender students in college

In the Sunday New York Times, there was a long article written about transgender and genderqueer students at women's colleges such as Barnard College, Smith, and so on. The article is available at this link: When Girls Will Be Boys.

I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the article and its attempts to broaden the general public's knowledge about these often blacklisted topics. While Purdue is a co-ed school, many of the points touched upon in the article are also relevant at our school (gender-neutral bathrooms, forms, ENDA, and so on).

If you find any interesting reviews, news, or articles you think would be appropriate for the QSU weblog, please send an email to the webmaster (bburg@purdue.edu). And as always, registered Blogger/Google users can leave comments on non-announcement posts.
