A judge has dismissed a lawsuit contesting a transgender woman’s admission into a sorority at the University of Wyoming, ruling that he could not override how the private, voluntary organization defined a woman and order that she not belong.
In the lawsuit, six members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter challenged Artemis Langford’s admission by casting doubt on whether sorority rules allowed a transgender woman. Wyoming U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson, in his ruling, found that sorority bylaws don’t define who’s a woman.
The case at Wyoming’s only four-year public university drew widespread attention as transgender people fight for more acceptance in schools, athletics, workplaces and elsewhere, while others push back.
Women with traumatic pasts can be afraid if they want. Just look at what happens in prisons when a transsexual mtf goes into female population and ends up having a bunch of sex or even raping other inmates. It’s not like it’s completely out of the realm of possibility.
What does being trans have to do with it? Rape is wrong whether a trans person or a cis person does it. It’s just wrong, period.
I’m worried women with traumatic pasts are afraid of Tb0n3 using the internet, so I think we should ban Tb0n3 from using the internet to make these unnamed women feel less afraid. In fact, we take away all of Tb0n3’s access to any electronic devices while we figure this out. We have to do it to keep women safe.
I’m merely defending their right to use the argument. And there’s a massive difference between somebody saying things on the Internet and somebody sharing a bathroom or sleeping in the next room.
Defending transphobic arguments is a bad hobby. You should get a different one.
I already said others might not feel safe if you were allowed to use electronics, yet here you are again, completely insisting on using this site despite the harm you may cause. We should probably get law enforcement involved at this point, just so these people I imagined might be afraid can be safe. They can forcibly take away your computer and phone while the rest of us figure this out. Sure, you think there is a massive difference, but that is just something someone dangerous like you would say to trick them. More proof that you need to remain banned from participation.
Oh, you’re one of those types, huh.
But please. Continue telling a woman who has a “traumatic past” what we can or can no be afraid of (thank you OH so much for your benevolent permission 🙄). I’m not in the slightest afraid of trans women, never have been, and oh, hey, trans women are more likely to be victims of sexual assault that perpetrators of it. But go off.
I’m not telling any woman anything. I’m merely pointing out that there’s real people with real issues that are ignored when you just blanket call it ridiculous. You don’t have to be in a group to be able to point out rationales.
Uh huh.
Look at you, completely blowing off the words of a woman in that group you’re supposedly defending. But then, I’m saying something you don’t want to hear and doesn’t fit the narrative you’ve constructed as your excuse to hate trans folks.
Stop using women as your excuse. You don’t care about us, not really. If you did, you’d be out there protesting with that same full-throatedness at male guards assaulting women in prisons and the 1-in-4 statistic. But you’re not. You’re raging at a marginalized group that is statistically more often the victim of assaults than the ones doing it. But you don’t care at all about that, do you.
The only person you’re fooling is yourself.
The one in four statistic is bullshit. All I’m doing is saying that they have the right to not like it. If they have reasons it doesn’t matter what they are. It’s their house where they live, where they sleep where they shower. They want to feel safe and they don’t feel safe so they are making complaints and everyone in this thread is calling them bigots because they don’t like it.
Yeah, you’re not worth any more of my time and you definitely don’t actually care about women. You have the mediocre day you deserve.
Because rapes don’t happen in a completely cis prison?
I bet they happen even more than with trans inmates.
Don’t drop your soap.
One thing more bad which means thing that less bad not exist.
