Did you guys hear abt the situation where a man pretended to be a trans women in order to get into a sorority? lol the situation is crazy but no one seems to be focusing on how insidious it really is. basically last year on tiktok young women started posting their process of rushing at the university of Alabama and it got so much attention. this year it was the same except a person named Grant tried joining. He's gay, wheres makeup and skirts, goes by she/her pronouns and everyone assumed he was trans and was backing him SO HARD to get a bid. He posted everyday for rush week and would get hundreds of thousands of views and he never once corrected anyone and made it clear he isn't trans. he finally got dropped completely on pref day (after getting dropped from every sorority except 2 before rush even started) and made a video basically stating that he isn't trans after letting everyone think these sororities were transphobic. even got articles written abt it where they also dragged black women into it bc of course they did. he talked abt how it's the lefts fault for assuming he was trans and how its hypocritical it is to label him and everyone is eating it up and i dont understand why no one is talking about how a literal grown man pretended to be a women until it benefitted him. ppl have just ignoring how problematic and disgusting what he did was. sororites specifically at bama state that you have to be a woman or at least identify as one to be allowed in. Grant said himself he isn't a woman so why does not only him but his supporters not understand why he was cut? the sense of entitlement from men never ceases to amaze me. he's literally a man, and everyone is acting like he was deserving of a spot made for women. women have so little spaces to ourselves and now even this is being infiltrated and everyone is supporting it??? you aren't owed a spot just because you're a man who likes make up and skirts. that doesn't make you a woman and to believe you should be a part of a sisterhood just bc you get along with women is weird and selfish. and he keeps saying how annoyed he is that everyone was assuming, why not correct anyone??? people are saying he let us think he was trans to gain support but i think it was more calculated than that. he didn't just want viewers to think he's a woman, he wanted the organization to think he was one as well in order to get it. and now that they don't want him at all he can come clean. and no one sees a problem with that. people are also saying how this is a loss for the trans community bc it makes them look bad but no one is talking abt how we literally just witnessed a man pretending to be a woman in order to gain access in womens spaces and how scary that is and what it means for us. men are not entitled to everything just bc they feel like they deserve it. the amount of support grant has gotten is wild to me.
