Also, to the point of what if they change after they're initiated members, I would think it'd be easier for a sorority member to transition to male and maintain her membership than a fraternity member to transition to female. Mainly because a woman has a lot more leeway, socially speaking, to not always present herself in a feminine manner than a man to present masculine.
But he would no longer be a woman so there is no need for leeway. This isn't about the extreme subjectivity of socially created feminine and masculine behaviors. This is about whether someone identifies as a woman, man, both, or neither. Such is the complications that arose when humans insist on categories and, if we insist on categories, refuse to add categories.
