'Morehouse is missing a crucial opportunity to become more inclusive by purposefully excluding trans female students,' Tatiana Rafael, a current student who identifies as a transsexual woman, told Buz
Titi Naomi Tukes, a former Morehouse college student who graduated in 2017 and now works as a management consultant, told BuzzFeed News that they “unequivocally disapprove of” the new policy., the school’s alliance for gender and sexual diversities. “And at worst, it is violent and a clear target against trans femmes which includes women and nonbinary femmes.”
Tukes added that to their knowledge, the school did not seek input from trans members of the community before implementing the policy. Asked whether the school had any trans women as students, Dixon said he was aware of one, but added that the policy would not have an impact until the fall of 2020. At the same time, Rafael said she feels it is unfortunate for the trans women who come after her at Morehouse College, who won't be allowed to matriculate."Morehouse is missing a crucial opportunity to become more inclusive by purposefully excluding trans female students," she said.
