'women's' 'college' explicitly supports the rancid gender binary, so the real question is: should transmen or trainswomen want to go to women's colleges?

Transwomen are women and therefore should be allowed to go to womens colleges. This is not a difficult question. If the college in question is private then I suppose they must be allowed to make their own decisions about such things, and so it would be down to activists within the student body and the community at large to try and bring pressure to bear if they want a policy change. What I am certain will not matter, though, are the snide remarks of supposed leftists on obscure male-dominated internet forums.

thankfully this forum eschews leftism, is moderated and administered by women and has been associated with such notable publications as jacobin, the baffler, the new york times and modern hitlerist

One of the problems with leftists today is that they deny culture in the name of this materialist sobriety….what they perceive anyway as sober minded materialism. On the one hand its a corrective to mush headed romanticism, and liberal petit bourgeois relativism (meaning Capitalism). But the shadow side of this tendency is be instrumental and cynical. There is a connection between the need for titillation, and this instrumental sobriety. On the surface this seems contradictory, but in fact that cynical snark of white male America bleeds into factory Marxists in their denial of allocating a greater role to culture in social change. Aesthetic resistance does not mean valorizing only stories about the proletariat. In fact, to imagine a future of documentaries about heroic grain harvests is pretty depressing. The youthful leftist today is more concerned, however, with the titillation factor in theory. (Oh Adorno is sooooooo boring, and Badiou is such a rock star, and etc). The academic left is, with a few exceptions, pretty much not the partner to revolution, and not even a partner in social change. Talk to organizers in grass roots movements, anti death penalty, organic farming, prison reform, housing, and they will almost to a person tell you how bankrupt Academics are, and worse, how totally unhelpful are most Trotskyist movements. A friend once said to me, yes I’m a communist in a party that is labeled Stalinist. When people ask me why, he said, I tell them because its more democratic than the Trotskyist parties.
