"This doesn’t affect our single-sex status: We are a college that exists to prioritize women’s education and learning, but legally, societally and generationally, there has been a change in the understanding of gender and what makes one female.”
Germaine Greer a feminist, former lecturer very strongly criticized Murray Edwards' decision by claiming that "transgender women are not real women".
In my opinion great decision has been made . The world is changing , no one has anything to do with that. Giving transgender women an opportunity to study at the female-only college showed that Cambridge University is a school growing with the world , ready for a change to educate every person who deserves that. I am sure that thanks to Cambridge and two other universities other schools will soon make similar decision.
The words of Germaine Greer, who is a pillar of British feminism, caused quite a stir across the country and angered the LGBT community immensely. Now I know whose side you are on.
