The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming has a problem. “Guidelines set by the National Panhellenic Council … state that a sorority should be composed of ‘women and individuals who identify as women.” Have you guessed the problem?
A biological male asked to be admitted, and they didn’t want to be called bigots for refusing.
[T]he sorority admitted a biological male, Artemis Langford, into its ranks in October 2022. … Unfortunately, this decision has had serious repercussions for the sorority sisters. The complaint alleges that Langford has been “watching” girls undress around the sorority house, and that communal bathrooms do not lock. It also mentions that Langford has been seen to have an erection while watching women undress, and has refused to leave the house until “after you fall asleep.”
What Langford is doing could get him arrested if he were doing it from outside the sorority as a non “member.” As a peeping Langford. But the problem is not limited to Artemis. Lia Thomas, the C team men’s swimmer who became an A-Team women’s swimmer overnight, shares a locker room with an entire college women’s swim team and admits to being attracted to women. Young, healthy, athletic women, if I had to guess. And what better way to see and be with them than to be them?
William Lia Thomas is alleged at times to have exposed his male bits around these healthy young ladies (it is a locker room), but since he claims to be female, it is not illegal, and if you complain, you might be labeled a bigot or worse. There’s not much you can do that won’t get you kicked off the team or out of school.
What to Do?
The sorority girls at Kappa Kappa Gamma have decided to do something. They have filed a lawsuit against the University, Langford, and the national Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
The plaintiffs allege the national Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, the sorority’s national council president, and the new member all pressured the local chapter to breach sorority rules. The women said they felt “intimidated” to induct Langford into the house. ..
The lawsuit also alleged that Langford behaved inappropriately around her sorority sisters on numerous occasions, including once when she “had an erection visible through his leggings,” the suit alleges.
“Other times, he has had a pillow in his lap,” the lawsuit adds. “Smith [Langford] repeatedly questioned the women about what vaginas look like, breast cup size, whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control.”
The plaintiffs also alleged that the sorority ignored official bylaws when inducting Langford, and instead referred to a 2018 “Guide for Supporting Our LGBTQIA+ Members” that says Kappa Kappa Gamma is a “single-gender” organization.
I can’t say how that will turn out, but one report suggests the National Sorority is having none of it, so we’ll see. Until then, Langford is getting his jollies and ruining the college experience for a house full of women who should consider this a hard lesson learned about the gender front in the culture war.
A war that is being waged against them.
