Exactly. If we're going to stick with semantics it doesn't affect you as an APO brother. But from the perspective of a sorority IMO the distinction is valid.

Part of my culture/my cultural reference very much has to do with my gender identity as a female.
Assuming they meet all the qualifications of membership, I can say with certainty I would vote to accept a transgendered person that has made the transition from male to female. For someone that is questioning (either female to male or male to female that has yet to commit to making the change), I would not vote to accept because I wouldn't feel they are ready. I think it is similar (not the same) to not voting on an aspirant that is unsure of her ability to meet the requirements of the intake process or membership. If they are unsure about their status and abilities to uphold the ideals, then how can I be sure about them?
