You need to assume good faith. The information is not vandalism. It is accurate and correctly sourced.27.32.186.128 (talk) 08:45, 7 May 2020 (UTC)


 * This has previously been discussed on the talk page for Mount Holyoke. We use the term "women's college" because that's the term that Mount Holyoke and their students generally prefer, including nonbinary and transgender students. If you think that the page should say otherwise, discuss this on the talk page instead of making unilateral changes. Thanks!

 * The talk page concluded months ago on this topic. Many women's colleges do not permit people who are born men to matriculate. You clearly are a representative of the college, as you identify yourself as part of "we." It seems like you think you own this page. But that is against Wiki rules.27.32.186.128 (talk) 22:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I used the term "we" to refer to the group that had previously had the conversation on the talk page. I agree that I don't own the page, but generally Wikipedia works by people who have a disagreement discussing it on the talk page. And while I'm not a representative of the college - I do not and did not go there - I try to maintain the position that the college and students at the college maintain, which is generally that they refer to themselves as a women's college and don't focus on admitting people of "both sexes" who are transgender (a difficult term, given people who are intersex). I especially don't want to use this language because it can make transgender women feel isolated and separated, as if they weren't real women.
 * If you'd like to make your point about having the line "Mount Holyoke College is a private liberal arts college for women and transgender people of both sexes", have the discussion on the talk page where everyone can have an equal discussion instead of changing the live page.
