The lessons in discrimination that Alicia "Ethan" Palmer learned while living as a man at Northwest Vista College are enough to fill a book.

In fact, she plans to write one. Her transgender experiment, which ended Tuesday night, also moved her to speak out at the Alamo Colleges board meeting and urge trustees to change the district's anti-discrimination policies to include sexual orientation.

"If diversity is our core value, then we need to stand by it," said Palmer, 24.

The experiment the lady did was super flawed.
She should retry in a new area/colege and dedicate a little more than 55 days to the project.
