Fraternity raises money for brother's sex change.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/27/us/mas...nge/?c=&page=1

But don't read the comments. Or the related article about a trans girl's parents filing a lawsuit against her school here at Ft. Carson.

Awesome story, nice to see a frat that is not only accepting but willing to actively do something to help a trans* person.

That is pretty awesome. It's great to see that he has support not just in college, but from people he's never met.

Shit, you were right about the comments and that other story, I'm off to go cry under a blanket for a while.

I don't know, something seems fishy about this.

NEVER trust a frat house, EVER.

I see nothing fishy about this, and I think it's freaking awesome.


But yeah, fuck those comments.

I concur. This happened at Emerson College and from what I hear, it's a prominent (liberal) art(s) college. I almost applied there, actually. I heard it has a liberal atmosphere so I'm more shocked that there is a fraternity there. Regardless, this feat is excellent and I'm glad that this was achieved.

Its always nice to see something like this happen. All some people see is "transsexual" and they do a point and stare (which is fucking stupid in itself) but here is a story about self discovery and that is an awesome thing to hear in the news.
