A biologically male student at a private university in upstate New York is crying discrimination after being ousted from a sorority due to the student's identity.

Fabián"Fa" Guzmán, 22, a biological male who reportedly identifies as nonbinary, attends St. Lawrence University and was distraught when the national office for the Chi Omega sorority revoked Guzmán's membership at the start of June.The decision for Guzmán's removal came at the start of Pride Month, and no option for an appeal was offered, according to a report.

He says there’s a stereotype of who a sorority girl is like using she/her pronouns and he feels betrayed by his sisterhood pic.twitter.com/fPfqTn3FFNIn the wake of the decision, Guzmán launched a Change.org petition seeking to be reinstated. However, the Chi Omega national office did not want to publicize Guzmán due to the increasing"backlash" against LGBT community members.

"It's just really hard because I’ve given my heart and soul to the sorority because I love it ... I love my sisters, I love my sisterhood. I love the chapter history. I love everything [about it]."
