  • Yes

  • No

  • Only with special permission

  • She never said

Answer

No, Mary Daly did not allow transgender students into her classes. In 1979, Daly was fired from her position as a professor at Boston College after she wrote a book that was considered to be transphobic. Daly's book, Gyn/Ecology, argued that women are inherently different from men and that transgender people are not truly women. Daly's firing sparked a national debate about the rights of transgender people.
