They're cowards. There was a vote. That was the time to "fight", but at that time they didn't want anyone to know they were against the decision.

It was only after they got backing from conservative hate groups that they cared enough to cause problems.

They're cowards, bullies and liars.

The lawsuit said one sister, who objected to Artemis’s membership, was facing away from the group when she took off her shirt without a bra. According to the lawsuit, another member later told the sister “that while watching her, Mr. Smith had become sexually aroused. He stood by the door with his hands over his genitals.”

Artemis said that didn’t happen, and court records would later bolster her claim. In text messages submitted to court by her attorney, another sister, who was watching at the time, told the complaining sorority member that there was no erection. The woman texted in reply, “Damn that sucks,” adding that even so, she still felt Artemis was “creepy in other ways at least.”

She drove quickly, not stopping once in six hours to eat or use the bathroom. She worried how others in rural Wyoming might perceive her.

“I don’t pass well,” she said. “I’ve always been tall and heavy.”

It’s tragic that some people literally won’t stop to use a bathroom or eat because they’re worried about their safety because of how they look. What does that say about our country?

Wow this is a brutal read. The level of cruelty towards someone just trying to live their life is insane. Although the judge dismissing the motion with the correct pronouns was really good to hear.

The American Greek fraternity system frankly baffles me. Why would a newly independent young person go through a humiliation gauntlet in order to join a hyper-conformist pseudo cult?

Because they had to claw their way through the social strata of high school to be "popular" so they already know how to humiliate themselves.

Fortunately, the lawsuit which would have barred her entry, got tossed out.

Why is it none of these idiots know how transgenderism works? Or rather, why are they pretending they don't know?
