...heternomative values that tell us we must be as men and as women. I propose that the true and most noble goal of the movement for LGBT equality is the same goal that would enable qualified women to play football with men: A real, complete, and lasting emancipation of gender expression for all people. A commitment to building a world where every individual decides for him, her, or hirself exactly how they’d like to identify, and express, their gender. A world where rigid boundaries of appropriate gender expression no longer dictate what it means...

...more than just science and technology courses. From architecture to philosophy, from Asian-American studies to gender studies, there is an incredible diversity of courses offered at MIT. Some courses may closely mirror those at Harvard, but many are unique to MIT. Some are taught in fields Harvard students have been advocating for years to be included at Harvard, yet presumably some of these same students won’t travel down the street to follow their interests. Almost all languish as missed opportunities for Harvard students. Except, of course, for accounting...
