"It was late on a rainy fall day, and a college freshman named Rey was showing me the new tattoo on his arm."

So, do the women, who want to go to school with other women, have to accept him?  If so, why?

I think if somebody enrolls as a woman, they ought to be allowed to finish their degree.

Same for vice/versa with a mens college.

If they wish to re-enroll as a different gender, I think they should respect the school's rules on this.
If they are a gender segregated school, they are a gender segregated school.
But I don't think somebody should be asked to leave simply because they came out.

I think they should be allowed to finish their degree with special accommodation for those circumstances.

Do people have a right to choose a gender specific school?  If so, I think their rights should also be considered.  And a tattoo is not just for boys anymore, not even at the Seven Sisters.
