Transwomen and rush.

[thetalady]

I can't claim to be a legit black woman any more than a man can claim to be a real woman... and THAT is a much smaller leap. Has the world lost its ever loving mind??

All Caitlin Jenner's Fault

+1 to everything Clemsongirl said.
The transphobia in this thread is horrifying and it seems like discussion of this lawsuit was just an excuse for people to be hateful.

No one here is afraid of transsexuals. What we are nauseated about here is them forcing their way into supposedly secure women's societies. I bet if the women in the KKG chapter here were allowed to revote secretly with a neutral vote counter--as they are supposed to--Boner would be an ex-Kappa.

You should see all the stuff that people at Wyoming are writing about what they've seen him do and heard him say. This business started even before he pledged.

It seems as if women wanting to feel safe does not matter in the least. The needs of one have transcended the needs of the majority in this situation and it’s sad to see.

Said person also has/had a legislative internship. With a 1.9 GPA. How…interesting.

How did this person force their way in? Did they threaten the membership? Bribe them? Rig and manipulate the recruitment system to work in their favor?

Who prioritized the "needs" of this member?

Again, assuming all the allegations are true, where is the outrage at KKG for forcing the chapter to accept this unqualified, unacceptable, and creepy new member?

I personally am not going to rage against KKG membership selection. That wouldn’t be my place as I have zero familiarity with it, coming from a non NPC sorority.

I can also understand that people and organizations nowadays are afraid of lawsuits. That’s why I mentioned the internship. It’s not unheard of for people to get denied things for perfectly valid reasons and then turn around and sue for discrimination.

Every post I’ve read on other sites is attacking the women who have come forward and automatically assuming it could not be true and any and all allegations are based in transphobia. That’s making transphobia the important issue here and not the validity of the women’s feelings or experiences. It’s okay for them to feel unsafe but not to point out that the transgender member might have done things to cause them to feel that way?

Clearly you did not bother to read the article posted, which answered each of your questions. "TLDR" doesn't cut it. The "outrage at Kappa" is the LAWSUIT, for God's sake.

I'm addressing what people here are saying.

[FSUZeta]

“This isn't about disrespecting men or trans people's journeys," added Levang. "This is about the value and importance of women-only spaces and our rights as women to protect them. To give that up without a fight would be the biggest setback for women since suffrage." Patsy Levang, former KKG foundation president, PR Newswire, commenting on the KKG lawsuit.

[GoldenAnchor]

Other women aren't a threat to a space for women. Y'all sound like a bunch of TERFS.

So often liberals respond by calling names.
