I live in a city that just passed an "all-gender restroom ordinance". This is very new to all us, so it provides a learning experience for everyone.
I'm wondering whether sororities - and fraternities, as well - would be ready to accept transgender women into their communities. Is it a topic that is ever discussed at chapter meetings, or something advisers discuss with chapter officers?
In order for a transgender woman to be accepted into a community - in this case a Greek community of 18-22 yo people, where the vast majority would likely identify themselves as straight - she would have to welcomed as a woman. My point is, and it's something I ran into recently, that some men in our society don't even understand what transgender is; they confuse them as drag queens, or as men "pretending" to be women. Progression requires education and awareness.
