In an historic first, a national sorority may appoint a man claiming to believe he is a woman as its president.
Alumnae of Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) filed a lawsuit Thursday to stop the sorority from embracing men claiming to be women as members. According to the complaint, KKG is now considering Tom Nadzieja for a leadership position which may include a seat on the Fraternity Council or the presidency.
Nadzieja, who abandoned his wife and children after 15 years of marriage and changed his name to Tracy, has been focused on spreading gender ideology, particularly among children. He remains a board member for one-n-ten, a nonprofit which helps children undergo genital mutilation.
“The Candidate has currently applied for, and is being considered for, a position in leadership to be voted on through an on-line election in April 2024,” read the lawsuit, according to the Daily Wire. “This position could include being elected to [the] Fraternity Council or even president of KKG. Most members remain unaware that the Candidate is a man.”
The alumnae who filed the complaint are Patsy Levang, Cheryl Tuck-Smith, Susan Jennings, Margo Knorr, Karen Pope, and Ann Witt. Levang and Tuck-Smith were both members of KKG for over 50 years, with Levang having served as KKG’s National Foundation president. They were expelled in November by KKG leadership for opposing the membership of men who claim to believe they are women.
“The current leadership in Kappa has deliberately engaged in a campaign to undermine the Bylaws of Kappa which harms not only these young women, but the entire organization,” said Levang in a statement. “I’m not surprised that they also disregarded the value of lifetime membership and my 56 years of dedication by sending me a removal letter.”
Tuck-Smith expressed her disbelief that KKG leadership is willing to appoint men to lead the sorority after 150 years as a female-only organization.
“It is incomprehensible that current leadership would discard that success by prioritizing men over women,” said Tuck-Smith. “Kappa must remain true to its existing mission, to support and promote women.”
GEN previously reported that gender ideology is being primarily enforced by women, especially those in positions of authority. Such enforcement includes targeting other women who oppose them.
A survey conducted by Pew Research in 2022 found that 62% of women believe “there is a great deal or a fair amount of discrimination against transgender people.” Just 52% of men are in agreement. Women exhibit a higher tendency than males to express the belief that it is of significant importance to utilize an individual’s “new” name or “preferred pronouns.”
Additional polls conducted in various “democracies” including Australia, England, and Canada have also revealed that most female athletes endorse the participation of men in women’s sports and do not see males as having an “unjust advantage” over females. Many males firmly oppose this view.
In December the leader of a prominent women’s organization proposed during a congressional hearing that it would be beneficial for girls to “learn to lose gracefully” while competing against boys who claim to believe they are girls.
During that same congressional hearing, the committee also received testimony from Riley Gaines, a swimming athlete who achieved a fifth-place tie in the NCAA freestyle championship alongside a man who calls himself “Lia” Thomas and claims to be female. Gaines has emerged as a fervent opponent of gender ideology and has actively worked to discourage men from participating in women’s sports.
However, it was a female legislator who criticized Gaines at the hearing. Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) called Gaines “transphobic” for opposing the inclusion of men in women’s sports. After Gaines retaliated and accused Lee of being a misogynist, Lee tried to have Gaines’ comments expunged from the official record.
In April 2023, the US Department of Education issued a proposal to prohibit schools from excluding men from women’s sports. In response, 25 US governors signed a letter urging the Biden administration to abandon or delay the proposal. The majority of the governors, specifically twenty-two out of twenty-five, were male. The letter was signed by three female governors, including Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. These three governors are the only Republicans among the 12 female governors in the United States.
This issue is not limited to the US.
In Ireland, female officials want the word “woman” stricken from the country’s Constitution.
Scotland Prison Service Chief Executive Teresa Medhurst is forcing female inmates to be housed with violent male felons who claim to believe they are women. Last year, then-First Minister Nicola Sturgeon supported the decision to allow serial rapist Adam Graham into the women’s penitentiary refusing to acknowledge that Bryson, who changed his name to Isla Bryson, is a man.
