preciousjeni, I appreciate that you are keeping the legal issue highlighted. That is much more objective than differing opinions on transgenderism, itself, and "why" someone would want to join XYZ if he is a he.

Of course even with legal changes transgendered people will be discriminated against in many, if not most, chapters if their transgenderism is known. That is still considered a form of deviance, in terms of deviating from what is considered the norm.

OK, does Jane Doe still have a penis? If so, then he is still a part of frat x. If John no longer has a penis and has a vagina, then he is now a female who has probably changed his name to a female name and could possibly join a sorority.

Does anyone on here have any rules of trans gender people in their org? Probably not since most org's history was written in the 1800's or early 1900's when people didnt even really know about transgender.

:) "Most org's history" refers to what?

Constitutions, rituals, policies and procedures, membership intake manuals, etc. for many if not most older organizations have been reviewed and even updated since the org's were founded.

But you are correct that transgenderism and other "what ifs" were not outlined because they were and are considered to be rare considerations.

i think the "more than one NPHC org." rule would be in effect. if a woman was a man and in a fraternity, she'd still technically be in the fraternity, right? unless things like SSN changes when you get your dick lopped off.

Well, I don't know if she would still be in the fraternity or not (they are not, after all, coed organizations), but having BEEN in the fraternity, then that would be more than one NPHC org if she then tried to join a sorority.

It seems to me that if you legally want to be recognized as gender B, then all your previous associations with single-sex groups of gender A would therefore be voided. But I am not a lawyer.

Bumping because we used to talk about good stuff here.
