Like most colleges and universities today (indeed,
like society at large), Smith College has a diverse and dynamic student body that
includes individuals who identify as transgendered. Some do so for intellectual or
political reasons, in order to challenge prevailing gender norms in our society;
others feel that their birth sex does not truly represent who they are. Students
at Smith, whatever their gender or sexual identity, are diverse, accomplished, and
various in their views.
This list was compiled by the Office of Institutional
Diversity as a resource for those interested in learning more about issues associated
with gender identity and gender expression. The views contained within any particular
source do not necessarily represent the views held by Smith College.
