Edited sentence: In 2009, Ajaan Geoff provided scholarly citations and interpretations on the Vinaya challenging the validity of full ordination for women.In a letter to another senior bhuddhist monk, he described recent bhikkhuni ordination as "not valid".Since that time, more than several women have have received Bhikkhuni ordination.The letter was met with scholarly dispute by nuns and monks such as Ayya Tathaaloka, Bhikkhu Bodhi, Ayya Sudhamma Bhikkhuni, Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sujato and others.This commentary has been used to assert that full monastic privileges in the Theravadan tradition are currently available only to men
