Nothing. He’s a gay male trying to get into a female sorority. Once upon a time, you’d think the gay male would try to surround himself with dicks. Times have changed I guess.

for someone trying to be a tranny, he sure does like have a dude's haircut.

I have no issue with someone like this person making whatever decisions they want that don't affect others. If he decides he is really a girl and wants to get his dick cut off, that's his right.
I do have an issue when someone demands that others not only tolerate their decisions, but accept them. I can tolerate a lot of things that I will not necessarily accept. The two aren't the same. Just like it is this guy's right to decide they are a girl, it's my, and everyone else's, right to say, "No, dude, you're not. You're just playing a very elaborate game of pretend." I don't get to make decisions for him about what gender he wants to be, but he doesn't get to make decisions for me about what gender I think he is. Trying to force himself to be accepted into a sorority is doing exactly that - "I have decided I'm really a girl and I am going to force you to act like I'm a girl, too, even if you don't think I am one." Freedom means making your own choices; it most assuredly does not mean making others abide by the choices you make.

Bingo. And there has definitely been a shift in the last year pushing back on this bullying of ideology too, which is awesome. People are no longer accepting being slandered with ___phobe, bigot, etc. to silence their views.

I'm intelligent enough to know what somebody does with their life/body DOES NOT need MY approval.

There has to be some space between refusing to marginalize fringe thought and making the fringe thought mainstream. No one objects to Grant believing that Grant is female. But, just because Grant believes that Grant is female doesn't mean that anyone else has to believe it. It is no one else's job to validate Grant or to change their thoughts to accommodate Grant, particularly when Grant will not change Grant's thoughts to accommodate anyone else.

That wasn't the way it was written. I took it as the overall Greek System was bad.
How many times has their been documentaries about the Greek System at colleges?

GS believing they are female would fall under that.

They are obviously working hard to obtain a college education and they've successfully made it to their Jr. year. Wouldn't you agree that's doing something with your life?
No one objects to this person living their life just as they've done for the last 2+ yrs on campus. There were 211 individuals that did not receive bids in '22 rush, and this person is simply one of the 211 that were rejected.

My issue is that it's coming across on here that there is part of Grant that is different than some people on here & they're basically pushing Grant off to the side instead of accepting that Grant is not a clone of them (hince the terms of "it", "mentally ill", etc.).

Exactly, as some like to say follow the science. There are only two sexes/genders in biology period except for some simple lifeforms that can reproduce by themselves, everything else is as you said a very elaborate game of pretend and no one else has to play your game. If you want to cut off your arms, fingers hand or other self mutilation or have multiple personalities that is mental illness and these folks should be helped and treated. But with one sex thinking or pretending to be the other society has become too cowardly to stand up and say "No, this isn't right and you need help" Is it possible that someone is the other sex trapped in the wrong body? I'm sure it is, especially when they were born with Ambiguous genitalia and the doctor or parents choose one or the other for them to surgically be but most of this and the made up pronouns like Ezra Miller are mental illness that needs to be treated and the individual helped to either see that they are in error or reaffirm what they believe. Regardless, others don't have to play their game or accept their view.
