Wesleyan University in Connecticut will in September inaugurate a "gender-blind" dormitory for incoming students who aren't sure what sex they are, reports the Hartford Courant.

Students who opt for the floor will have roommates appointed without regard to their sex, perceived or otherwise. The rooms will be set aside for transgender students, described as those born with ambiguous genitalia or who don't identify with their physical sex.

The gender-blind housing arose partly out of recent changes to the university nondiscrimination policy, which now includes the terms "gender identity and gender expression" in the list of people enjoying special protection.

In the same spirit, students and officials are trying to shy away from use of the term "coed" these days. "We don't really use the word 'coed,' because 'coed' implies one of two genders and a lot of people don't identify with either gender," said one transgender student. ----Fox News


This is just plain stupid. There are some people who dont identify with either gender? This country is getting too damn tolerant in some instances.

Just add testosterone to the water supply for that one housing unit. They'll come to terms quickly enough with their gender identity, .... one way or another.

but I agree with the conservatives on this one.

Even homosexuals have butch and fem individuals.

The Yin Yang duality of gender difference is an essential part of the Universe.

Humans will always be either more aggressive or more nurturing.

Ed, what's "right" in a situation often has no political bend to it.
