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.

    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.

          Again. There you are being retarded. Have you been outside in the past 10 years? Ever? You keep trying to read my mind but fail miserably.

            Doubling down on the hate speech I see. Is this your programming glitching? I’ve heard AI has trouble when the conversation goes more than a couple of lines, but I didn’t know it went into full on KKK mode. At least, I hope you are AI, given how easy it was to get you to show some true hateful colors.

              Honestly if you think I’m KKK or even racist from what I’ve said you need to get out more. Maybe look up the definition of race and figure out that women being uncomfortable sharing women only spaces with transsexuals is not a race.

                I didn’t call you racist. So far your bigotry has been anti-trans and anti-disability. I fear you may be antisemitic too, since that is sort of the historic formula that people like talking about so much. And now you use anti-trans slurs on top of your anti-disable slurs. If it sounds like a bigot. But this is all a waste of time. Didn’t we already establish that women are uncomfortable sharing the internet with you and, therefore, you should not be allowed here anymore? Why are you still posting all of your vile hate?

                  Watch out you don’t dislocate your arm with all that reaching. Maybe look up what the KKK was/is before you deny calling me racist. And when did I use anti-trans slurs? Calling somebody a retard has been a thing for a long time and it’s still well in use. Just because you think I’m saying it to be mean to the mentally retarded doesn’t mean that I am. And now we’re all done with the personal attacks, yeah? Maybe you can quit being an abusive asshole.

                    I am just trying to protect fearful women from you, including your hate filled, slur-ridden speech. And if you want me to call you a racist too, OK, you are racist too. All the more reason for all of your devices to be kept away from you, for the protection of all those women of course. You can deny your Klan status all you like, but when you parrot alt-right talking points, and double down on slurs (also, they taught us to stop using r****d like 30 years ago, what chatbot planet do you live on where that’s OK?), we surely won’t take your word for it. Again, you don’t understand that people are really afraid of you, so it is better to err on the side of caution and protect everyone from you. You may not feel like you are dangerous, but aren’t you the worst person to judge your potential danger to others? Again, I am just here to protect women and apparently the mentally disabled and probably the Jews from you, so please stay off the internet until the rest of us decide you are not a threat. It will just be a few decades, surely you don’t mind.
