Transgender women in sorority life?

[KDCat]

I can't imagine that a PNM being trans wouldn't be a problem on most campuses during any NPC recruitment. Being trans isn't something that most people understand and it's something that public opinion is just starting to evolve about. That lack of understanding is going to go against a trans person during membership selection.

The Greek Life advisor should have told you that you were eligible to participate and that you were eligible to get a bid, but that it would be very tough to get a bid, because people don't understand the trans thing.

You may be the best PNM who ever walked through a chapter's doors and most people aren't going to understand it. That's where the general public is on trans issues right now. Sorry. It sucks. It's not fair.

(And can we stop talking about the state of people's genitals? Please. I don't have to whip mine out to prove that I'm a woman and trans people shouldn't have to whip theirs out, either.)

I honestly think a fraternity would have a harder time accepting a trans member than a sorority.

Trying not to talk about whipping out genitals here, but I think there are various ways guys like to prove how macho they are, and whipping out their member is one of them. I imagine if a F-> M trans was at a drunk fraternity party, and it was revealed that he is really a she, I don't think that would end well....
