GS believing they are female would fall under that.


There were 210 females + a male believing he was a female that were cut in '22 rush.

Because my issue arises when you actively seek out approval from other people at the expense of their enjoyment of life.


What about GS's enjoyment of life? You think they like hearing comments like those being made on here?



Here's one of my biggest issues: the left expects society to cater to those who "identify" with the opposite gender and put their wants above those of straight people.

Yet, the left will not accept those who identify with another ethnic group...Elizabeth Warren not withstanding. There is exactly as much science (none) to support identifying with another gender as there is identifying with another ethnicity. Yet when Rachel Dolezal, the head of the Seattle chapter of the NAACP who was actually a caucasian woman who identified as African-American, was exposed, she was stripped of her position and run out of the organization. The dude known as Lia Thomas had every opportunity to compete with men, which he did, for several years, and he could have continued to do so. Allowing him to compete with and against women deprived women of opportunities. As long as it was only rich, entitled white girls in the Ivy league that were victimized, no one on the left cared. But just wait...in a few years it will be 21 year old 6'9", 6'10", and 6'11" white dudes taking spots on women's basketball rosters, depriving African-American women of opportunities and dominating African-American on the court, and then suddenly it will no longer be cool with the left.

Would Caucasian men and women be allowed to identify as African Americans...as Rachel Dolezal did for many years and continues to do...and be allowed to receive minority scholarships and preferences? We all know the answer.

The mind-numbing hypocrisy of the left in catering to these individuals is what pisses people off.

& if Grant decides to join the Greek System, that would be a change as well.

So you're saying that your daughter should be able to be forced into having a man for a roommate on a college campus, and being forced to have to be exposed to that man when he's naked.

Then yes, you answered the question. You really are that fricking stupid.

I'm not sure what you're arguing for here. You seem to want everyone to be able to do what they want, as long as those choices don't impinge on anyone else. How is that not happening here? Grant gets to pretend he's a girl. The sororities get to not invite him. People on here can say whatever they like about the situation, because we live in a country where speech is free. Instead of celebrating the freedom that everyone is enjoying, you seem to be the one insinuating that some people's personal choices should not be allowed, because you don't agree with them.

Grant is different simply because HE is a student, who after 2 years on campus, attempted to gain acceptance into a female organization.

He chose to blast social media during his journey through '22 rush and was cut from every sorority he had on his pref list on day 1. It was a short journey but hey, he got tons of followers his rush outfits & make-up tips.

2,556 participated in '22 rush, 2,345 received bids. Sikes is simply one of the 211 that were dropped.


Exactly. It would be nearly impossible to claim discrimination when 210 other "girls" were dropped

Not to get into politics, but the right shouldn't be calling the left hypocrites. Shall we bring up 45 & his stance on someone pleading the 5th?

I've never said Grant was a clone of me & accept that what he wants to do is his decision.
Nor have I used the terms "it" or "mentally ill" in describing Grant.

He attempted to join the Greek System and he was unanimously rejected from every sorority on his pref list on Day 1.

There are dorms that house both genders.

But FORCING nudity is a totally different angle.


However, if she IS AWARE of men/women in the same building, then HOW CAN she be offended if she sees an exposed male body?

I mean, I can't lie. It was a good plan. I wish I could've joined a sorority during my time on campus.

Props to this dude. He went all out to try to make the dream come true!

Exactly, as some like to say follow the science.


Again, my issue with the left is that they only want to "follow the science" in areas like COVID and climate, but in the most basic areas like what makes a man a man, a woman a woman, and a person a person, they completely abandon science. In Los Angeles, with the recent tragedy where the woman driver killed six people, only 5 victims were born human beings. The sixth victim was the unborn fetus of one of the other victims. Yet ultra liberal DA George Gascon charged the woman with 6 counts of murder and talked about "the process of holding accountable the person responsible for the deaths of six people". Six people...not 5 people and a fetus. So the fetus is only a person to the left when it suits their political interests. The mother could have literally been on her way to get an abortion, which Gascon and Gavin Newsom would have defended, and that would have been OK. So literally the only determining factor in whether or not a living being is a person with rights to be protected by the state is whether or not the woman wants it.

There is absolutely zero science in that.

The mental gymnastics people have to go through to try and argue the "gender is a social construct" viewpoint is honestly pretty entertaining.

No, my issue is because Grant is different than some people, we should be ADULT enough to accept that instead of being derogatory & using terms like "it" & "mentally ill".

This is an sports message board, it is full of testosterone filled MALES who discuss SPORTS primarily and then spend the rest of their time taking jabs, make jokes and call each other horrible names.

It appears you are in your feelings because of what a bunch of males on a sports message board called another male who chose to participate in sorority rush.
