Moving Beyond Cis-terhood

Abstract: in 2013, controversy sparked student protests, campus debates, and national attention when Smith College denied admittance to Calliope Wong-a trans woman. Since then, eight women's colleges have revised their admissions policies to include different gender identities such as trans women and genderqueer people. given the recency of such policies, we interrogate the ways the category "woman" is determined through certain alignments of biology-, legal-, and identity-based criteria.

“…As Stainback, Kleiner, and Skaggs (2016) find, women's increasing participation in the workforce and holding positions of power serve as "agent[s] of change," challenging prevailing gender hierarchies by decreasing workplace segregation and increasing diversity policies. As such, organizational structures and the hierarchies built within them are not static: as organizations change, the gendered organization is redone in new and potentially more equitable forms (Britton, 2000;Britton & Logan, 2008;Nanney & Brunsma, 2017;Stainback et al, 2016).…”

“…Marine (2009, p. 4) defines these policies as the way colleges "codify, formalize, and endeavor to bring uniformity to institutional practice, and to thereby declare their official stance toward a population or issue." Although some gender-selective colleges have statements of affirmation, nondiscrimination policies, or accept trans students on a case-by-case basis, Marine (2009) and others (see Boskey & Ganor, 2019;Nanney & Brunsma, 2017) contend that it is important that institutions adopt formal, public policies in order for transgender applicants to easily determine their eligibility.…”
