Insanity? Batshit Insanity?

This is my favorite part:

"I think that some students were concerned that the identity of Smith as a single-sex institution - as a women's college - would be tainted in some way," said Julie Mencher, a Northampton psychotherapist who was recently hired to serve as transgender specialist at the college.

According to Mencher, most of the students she counsels do not see themselves as transsexual - that is, they are not necessarily interested in using medical means to change their bodies so that they appear as the opposite sex. Rather, she said, they are exploring their gender.

"There are a lot of students here who identify as transgender but don't identify as male. They identify in a more gender-ambiguous way," explained Mencher. "They have come to a campus where that's very much supported."
