Not terribly important but I was just wondering recently.  In the US, a number of small Liberal Arts Colleges admit only female students.  I was just curious as to how they
a.) feel about transwoman applicants and
b.) handle transman transitioners who applied as female and began living male as a student.

I can't say how they feel about trans women, but I read an article a while back about a transguy who was transitioning while going to an all-women's school.  He had to fight to keep his place, but eventually they let him stay.  Personally, I think he's an idiot to get his degree there, no matter how great a school it is, because he'll never be able to use it without outing himself.  But that's his choice to make.

As for trans-women, I imagine it would depend upon whether or not you have legally transitioned.
