Hopefully Biden and the DOJ intervene. Hate crime charges are on the table, and full withholding of federal funds to the University if they don’t act and punish the sororities. Go after the football program, it’s what they hold most dear. Justice must prevail here

& when people act/say things as has been mentioned in this thread, you don't think it impacts others?
The hero/shero you're knighting for, put himself out there loud and proud and if he gets ridiculed then he did it to himself.
Who the hell ever heard of this dude before August 1st?

If it is transphobic to believe that individual sorority chapters should be allowed to decide whether they let a trans-woman into their club, then I guess I’ll have to accept that label

You conveniently left out the next sentence where I qualify that with those that were born with Ambiguous genitalia and the parents and/or doctors choose the one to keep due to parental wishes and/or which is less surgically invasive to remove.
Yes the rest are mentally ill at some level and are in need of evaluation and help, which as long as they are not a danger to themselves or other they have every right to refuse regardless of the need for it. Ezra Miller is a prime example, he is very mentally ill, shown to be a danger to himself and others and needs help. But of all his issues,Gender dysphoria is probably the least of his mental issues.

I grew up in Alabama, and the most racist place I've ever lived was the Bay Area of California.

Due to Bamas backwards attitudes, we should demand companies who sponsor NILs of Alabama players have their ESG scores lowered

Alabama was racist in the 60s during the Jim Crow era; of that I am sure (wasn't alive for it, but my parents were and I got all the stories).
Alabama now is nowhere near as racist as a lot of Northern and Western states, and it's because the generations that came after desegregation pretty much ALWAYS had minorities in classes and grew up alongside them. The idea of an "all-white" school is preposterous in Alabama (though I'm sure some very rare outliers exist).
In the North and West they were too busy patting themselves on the back for "not being racist" to look into their own gentrification. Neighborhoods, while not "legally" segregated, definitely were. Schools, in turn, also were. So kids of the 80s and 90s (like myself), going to school with kids of all colors was normal, but in a lot of other places those forced integrations never happened so those kids grew up surrounded by kids that looked just like them.
Always some intriguing stories with folks from other states who think I grew up a racist because I lived in Alabama, then when we start talking about who we had as friends as kids and went to school with, it becomes pretty clear that my education was filled with a LOT more diverse classrooms than theirs were.

Huh? Who's silencing anyone? Is it silencing Grant to express the non-woke opinion that trans-folks (incl. him) have a mental illness? Frankly, I feel sorry for the dude.

My niece went through rush and she kept my wife well informed about every detail. I'm about to have to replace a cellphone, they burned 'em up with the 24/7 texting and calling until she finally got her house on bid day.

I cannot wait until a trans student legitimately wants to be in a sorority. When that happens the University will have to bend over backwards to make it happen. It will be at Bama because of the emphasis they put on sororities. Then you will see liberal politicians screaming and trying and attach Federal funding to the issue. Get your popcorn.

Well, I don't know (nor care) if Grant was born with both genetalia. I did point out that you admitted that people could be born believing they were born of the wrong gender.
& that's something for them to decide what is right for them because only they know the answer. But to tell them they made the wrong decision is incorrect. Wrong as much as telling them what hair color to be, eye color, dominate hand, etc..
