Sex Change and Membership

Oh My Goodness, what a thread.

I just really hope any stalker-type PNM's don't get the idea, that if they've rushed two or three times and still didn't get a bid, that they can have gender reassignment and try rushing. I can see it now. XYZ sorority wouldn't give me a bid, so I decided to change genders so I can be a member of ABC fraternity.

This word made me laugh. It's so perfect. I'd also like smartassity.

Sounds like a Jeapordy category - "I'll take smartassity for $200, Alex"

I'm feeling like this thread needs a SHIM referance...

Why are all of the threads lately bringing back old jokes?

Our Panhellenic actually had to deal with something kind of like this. At one time we had an organization who was an associate member of Panhellenic called Lambda Delta Omega which is a multi-cultural sorority for lesbians, bi-sexuals and heterosexual women. They had a transgendered male member (living as a female) who they wanted to be their Panhellenic representative. The powers that be (I don't know the process they went through) determined he could not be the LDO representative because he was not technically or legally a woman.

There was a case in Florida where a transgendered male (female to male) was in a custody battle with the x-wife. The x-wife's lawyer succesfully argued that because Florida law dictactes that one is the gender that they are at birth and Florida law doesn't allow homosexuals to marry and/or adopt, the marriage and adoption was illegal and the x-husband had no claim to the children. The couple had been married about 8 years, the husband had adopted the children.
