Smith alums, this is worth your while...

[rhivolution]

Smith is refusing to let this Gold Key guide host prospies, because he's a trans guy. (This is despite him stating that he would inform all prospies that would be assigned to him and that they could choose not to stay with him if they were uncomfortable.)

Here are his words, and here.

Get the word out. We know already that if there is one thing TPTB at Smith hate, it's an alum stink. Especially as Reunion approaches.

(Smith's issues with regards to trans women are myriad, and while that desperately needs to come into play and be resolved, this situation needs to be addressed in and of itself, please.)

Thanks for passing this on. ♥

And thanks for the endnote. Hopefully that'll nip any derailing in the bud, despite the fact that it's an equally important issue.

Thank YOU for letting me know about it. I'd have had no idea otherwise.

And yeah...that issue is huge, and I do want to deal with it (god, I have no idea how to start), but this is something that can be turned around in policy Right Now and needs to be addressed straightaway.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I'm not going to have time to hear myself think this evening, but I definitely want to make sure to write the school about this first thing tomorrow. Gah.

Indeed, I need to figure out my response to TPTB. I'd threaten them with not giving them money this year, but seeing as I can't afford to do so...

[reflectedeve]

Yeah, exactly. :/
