The face when they won’t let you in the sorority with the other “girls”. The BFD. Photoshop by Lushington Brady.

You know we live in a Clown World when yesterday’s silly comedy is today’s news. In the 2002 body-swap comedy, The Hot Chick, Rob Schneider plays a middle-aged man magically placed into the body of a cheerleader. A Twitter user recently posted the pillow-fight scene from the movie as an analog of “trans” men in women’s sport.

“Yep,” Schneider replied.

But reality just took an even deeper dive into bone-headed comedy.

Just months after the transgender drama at the University of Pennsylvania where Lia Thomas won a swimming national championship over biological females, along comes University of Alabama biological male student Grant Sikes to attempt the unthinkable.
Sikes spent last week trying to obtain a bid to join an Alabama sorority which is pretty much like winning a national championship within the sorority business.

It speaks to just how debased our thinking has become that even critical media reflexively resort to ridiculous tautologies like “biological male”. George Orwell is spinning in his grave.

By the weekend, it became apparent that a biological male would not get a bid into the illustrious Alabama sorority world.

“Unfortunately, this chapter is closed,” Sikes announced on Instagram. “This recruitment journey is over for me. Being dropped from my last house this morning during primary recruitment at the University of Alabama doesn’t come as a surprise considering out of the almost 20 chapters – I was dropped by every single one except 2 before day 1.”

Probably because you’re a man.

“I’m hopeful of a future where everyone is welcomed for just being themselves – everywhere,” Sikes continued.

You can’t even welcome yourself for being yourself, my man. You have to try and pretend you’re someone else.

Unless, of course, your motives for trying to get into a house full of college girls were more in line with Revenge of the Nerds than The Hot Chick. Pro-tip: when you do a panty-raid, you’re not supposed to wear them.

“I think it’s become toxic,” one mother told the Times.

You think?

Yeah, we all do.
