that's an interesting situation, I hadn't read about it.
My first instinct is to understand the admissions officer and where she is coming from. I have seen studies that show girls and young women do better in an all female classroom, because of ingrained misogyny and things like, the boys taking over and girls being less likely to raise their hands when they know the answer.
But I think you hit the nail on the head that it's a generational thing. And I do think we are moving towards a more gender-fluid world, which I definitely feel will benefit everyone. So I had to examine my own feelings for a few moments. Once I thought about it, I am fine with it.

Fwiw, here is the article. In hindsight, I have heard a story or two locally of kids at single sex schools transitioning. Can’t say I’ve spent much time thinking about this but it is interesting, what’s the point of having single gender schools if you allow those who identify with the opposite sex in? Seems the schools should just be co-Ed and then it doesn’t matter.

Am I wrong that the only self-identified men allowed in, are those who transitioned after enrolling? I doubt that will be a common occurrence. It's interesting the article mentions a lot of women-only schools have closed, and those remaining are struggling with this question. It's likely a transition period, and I don't know how it's going to end.
Mills College in Oakland is a famous women's college that just announced they are closing in a year or two. Yeah, I think a number of women's colleges are struggling financially so from strictly an economic perspective it makes sense to allow gender fluid and non binary students in. I was also conflating Universities and then single gender K-12 schools because there are still a number of the latter. You ask a good question, this isn't something I really paid attention to until having a kid and now looking into schools and starting to hear about this more.

cawacko is wrong that Mills College is closing. They are merging with Northeastern University and will continue to operate.
He understated it. The DNC doesn't have "bad" followers. It has garbage POS followers who dress in drag.
