Judge dismisses lawsuit by sorority sisters who sought to block a transgender woman from joining
apnews.com

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 missed the first one, that's problematic as an example, did you read what you linked to? The Guardian one is false.

The Riker's one does seem to support your assertion but it's mixed in with a whole bunch of other assaults because it's Riker's.

I literally do not care enough to read the articles, but you're saying that one of them proved my point. You asked for one. Apparently I gave you one and again you're shifting the goal posts.

Oops, you said the quiet part out loud! LMAO

I don't care to put in the minimum effort over a stupid internet argument.

You don't seem to put in the effort to have a well-informed belief either.

Which is another reason your opinion can be thrown promptly in the trash. Can't even be bothered to read the sources and yet want to appear as some authority on the subject. Laughable, disingenuous behavior.

When the fuck did I say I was an authority on anything? I'm just expressing possibilities that could make everyone in this thread who has their mind made up completely reconsider. Your opinion is not the only opinion and not necessarily the correct one either.

The best you could come up with was one perpetrated at one of the most lawless and violent prisons in the country, one that is not fit for purpose but hey, you think you won an argument so you enjoy that.
