Culture news: Transgender women - not woman enough for some feminists

When people decide to ignore and redefine away the created order in which  God has placed them, problems arise in all kinds of interesting places.  Kevin Staley-Joyce observes, "While the earlier generation of feminists accepted psychological identity as integrated with bodily form, today’s feminists are increasingly strict mind-body dualists, holding that the mind alone determines gender—a ghost in the body’s machine."  Nonetheless a fascinating situation has developed at Smith College that illustrates how difficult it is for feminists to embrace this when it involves a "transgender woman."
