Can Trans Girls Be Sorority Girls?
cosmopolitan.com ^ | October 17, 2016 | Michelle Ruiz

Iam the first transgender woman to rush sororities at the University of Michigan," Emily Kaufman captioned a selfie on Tumblr in September 2015, "and because I am representing trans people, looking cute is a must!" She wore her dark, naturally curly hair in a bob; a dainty silver necklace with starfish charms hung around her neck.

Emily is bubbly and chatty and, as a sophomore, already had friends in a few of the sororities. After 18 years of what she calls “suppressed femininity,” Emily started coming out to friends and family during her freshman year; she’d spoken about her transition in classes and LGBT groups on campus. On the first day of rush, a sister in one house approached her and said, "You were in my women’s studies class! I think it’s so amazing what you’re doing. I really hope your rush process goes well."

"I was all excited," Emily remembers. "I called my parents and said, ’I’m totally joining a sorority.’"

After round one, a dizzying tour of the stately brick mansions that house Michigan’s 15 NPC sororities, Emily could have been invited back to as many as 11 for round two, per the rules of the university’s Panhellenic Council, which governs sorority life on campus. Many of Emily’s friends were called back to seven or more sororities. Emily was only asked back to three. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

“From what my friends told me, basically the rush board for that sorority [made up of 21- to 22-year-old women] chooses most of the girls,” Emily says. With no guidelines on transgender members from their national leadership, all it takes is one or two students on the rush board to say, "We don’t want a trans girl," to exclude even the most beloved rushee.

What a scam. Being a voyeur pervert becomes permitted by hiding behind the mask of a transgendered woman. This is how the Marxist Left is tearing down the moral fabric of America.

Girls don’t have penises...you nutjob. Although, your scheme to sleep in the same house with a bunch of college girls.....no, you’re even doing that wrong.

In our New World Order I hear anyone who presents as a Victim is afforded special rights. These are rights that make them SUPERIOR to all others in society.

And they HAVE to let you in, right?

Sororities can’t decide not to let any pledge in, right?

I notice they decided to not have comments for this particular article in Cosmo. I wonder why?

Was the TransAm born in a dress or in a suit? Or was he born naked?

The desire to wear the clothing of the opposite sex is a mental disorder that comes later in life. It is a fetish and should not be encouraged in public life.

but this DUDE is a special kind of nuts that’s far beyond the ordinary, garden variety nuttiness of the sorority girls I knew.

Or maybe he's really, really clever.

Remember, trans doesn't necessarily mean gay. Look at Bruce Jenner. He still likes pu**y.

The New Historians are going to have to rewrite the accounts of famous crossdressers such as pioneering director Edward D. Wood Jr. and craftsman Ed Gein both of women liked to dress up as women.

“Trans Girls” can’t really be anything but mental patients.

> Emily is bubbly and chatty and has a penis and testicles. Or, at least, he once did. But even if Dr. Chopitov chopped them off, he's still just a mutilated, mentally deranged male nutcase. He'll never be a sorority girl.

That's what we call a mentally deranged fruitcake and the odds of "it" stabbing someone to death with 20 or more thrusts increases exponentionally out of a jealous homo rage in the future just increased exponentionally. Ask homicide detectives what the homos' weapon of choice is; they'll tell you.

I wonder if the “trans” ever stopped to consider if they possibly had an attached spirit of the opposite gender that was taking control and using their physical bodies?

Stranger things have happened!!!

Did you get to the part where the article says that people around "Emily" are sometimes confused about his/her/its gender, and that's a disease ("transphobia") on their part?

Insanity.

I have a former homicide detective in my family. He can tell some tales when the men gather 'round the BBQ.

Growing up in Delaware, assigned male at birth

This is how stupid the whole situation is.
There is no line you stand in with someone stamping a card with either female or male. You ARE what you are. Wanting to be something else or thinking you are something else does not change that.
Getting a court to give you a name change really does not change that!

No, because there is no such thing as TRANS...

However, I have no doubt some bleeding heard young ladies will be stupid enough to let one in eventually.

You are not TRANS anything.. you are a crossdresser or a mutilated mentally ill person.
