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.
You’re missing a key fact here: the sorority admitted her. This suit was by individual members trying to force the sorority to reverse their decision. This decision didn’t establish new rights for trans people or affirm their existing rights, it affirmed the right of an organization to establish membership criteria that can’t be overridden even by members of that organization.
How this would go wrt gender/sex being federally protected classes is an interesting question, but hasn’t been examined by this case. All this did was establish that these 6 hateful shitheads can’t force the rest of the group to be hateful shitheads. Or, more accurately, it failed to establish that they can.
