Wellesley College students voting on admitting trans men, nonbinary applicants to all-women school

Students at Wellesley College are holding a referendum Tuesday to vote on whether transgender men and nonbinary applicants should be allowed to apply to the historically all-women school. 

The results of the referendum are not binding, but rather a way for students to express their views on the issue.

The referendum also includes a vote on making the language used at Wellesley more inclusive of nonbinary and trans students, the student newspaper reported. Current Wellesley policy is to use female pronouns and similarly gendered language in institutional communications.
