Does an 84 year-old Reagan appointee to the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming really believe that it is acceptable, morally or legally, for a man who claims he identifies as a woman to join a college sorority and intrude on all that entails?
Last year at the University of Wyoming, officers and graduating seniors bullied younger members of a national college sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, into not objecting to the admission into their sorority and their sorority house of a person who not only was not a woman, but who also did not meet the academic standards of the sorority.
Having been so bullied, the sorority sisters tried to live with the consequences of the admission of Artemis Langford. His 6’2”, 260-pound presence exacerbates the intimidation factor, but is not the reason he has no business in the sisterhood. If he were 5’4” and 115 pounds, he would nonetheless be a man.
After months of enduring his asking highly intrusive personal questions about intimate matters that even women do not discuss with each other, and his staring at them in their women-only sorority house while conspicuously aroused, the sisters decided to take action to restore the women-only character of the women-only sorority they had been promised. They sued to have Langford’s admission voided and to clarify that their sorority is for women only, which does not include men who claim to identify as women. Wishing does not make it so. Nor does growing one’s hair long and putting on lipstick.
Langford’s driver’s license identifies him as male, and he is on dating websites as a man looking to “meet” women. Even without those facts, though, Langford is not a woman, which until the day before yesterday was universally understood to be an essential qualification for joining a sorority.
Late last Friday, Judge Alan B. Johnson issued an order dismissing the sisters’ complaint. Reading it gives the impression that he has been captured by his clerks, and that they have been captured by the woke virus infecting so many brains in recent years. The very first sentence of the background section reveals his bias against the complaining sorority sisters and foretells his ultimate conclusions:
Embittered by their chapter’s admission of Artemis Langford, a transgender woman . . .
To begin a statement of facts with an assumption about the mental or emotional state of the plaintiffs is insulting, bizarre, and downright injudicious. As is the use of a term – “transgender woman” – that has never been established as a legal reality. The paragraph continues:
Plaintiffs . . . ask the Court to . . . void their sorority sister’s admission . . . and prevent other transgender women from joining KKG.
Here the court adopts as a fact the very point that is the crux of the issue: Langford is in fact not a woman notwithstanding that he claims to identify as one. It goes on, still in the very first paragraph of the background section:
The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted “woman,” otherwise undefined in the non-profit’s bylaws, expansively; this Judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge.
It is well settled that, in interpreting contracts, courts are to employ the plain meaning of the words in the contract. And that is what is at issue here: the plaintiffs entered into a contract with the defendants to join an organization of women and live in a sorority house with only women.
Until the day before yesterday, no one needed a definition of woman, and there is no reason an organization founded in 1870 would have made it a defined term in its bylaws. To not only suggest otherwise, but also rule accordingly, is reckless, outrageous, and harmful to society.
Unfortunately, courts are caving right and left on the “trans” issue, particularly where the person affected is a man claiming to identify as a woman. Tragically, this includes sending men convicted of rape to serve their sentences in womens’ prisons after they claim they now identify as women.
In the pursuit of tolerance and inclusion for men who claim to identify as women, it is only women who are being made to sacrifice.
I think the sorority sisters should get together and do some severe wedgies on their new occupant.
There are lots of things you could do to make a guy miserable in a world of women. Unfortunately, people are going to have to take matters into their own hands.
As of today, I identify as a federal district judge for Wyoming and I’m reissuing that order to void the man’s admission to KKG. What else can women endure but men trying to usurp our very existence as unique and separate from men? No women’s advocate could ever agree with this insane nonsense. Unless all women, everywhere, begin standing up for the truth, which is that no one can ever change sex, women will go back to the days when they were considered chattel.
It is time to mandate (among other things) mental competency exams for the federal bench annually!
The question once more: What happens when those charge with providing justice deliver injustice? Per Mr Jefferson: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
For now: I’ve regularly asked in various fora why any woman would share a pool, much less a locker room, with Mr Thomas or any other man? Next question: Why does any woman still live in what is no longer a sorority house?
Germaine Greer had some great comments about so-called transgenders a few years ago. You can see it on YouTube if you so desire. The reporter pushes her to accept the feelings of transgenders and for her to show empathy for their desire for acceptance.
But Greer is unapologetic. She says that she sees men wanting to invade women’s spaces as misogynistic. I don’t throw that word around lightly but she uses it correctly. It’s misogyny to think a man can be a better woman than a woman.
I’m ordering my “Make Women Female Again” shirt right now!
I think that another bite at this apple is in order. I previously lamented the lack of meaningful response by the victims; the genesis of that to which response would have been in order is also… interesting.
Consider Judge Johnson; no scare quotes because he is in fact a card-carrying member of the brethren. It is defies logic and/or reason to imagine a person getting past roughly 6th grade, much less law school, without knowing what a woman is. At most colleges, what a sorority is would also be pretty clear. Therefore, one must conclude that Judge Johnson willfully ignored basic biology and a foundation feature of the Greekish movement for a long as it has existed. (The author for some reason tossed out the possibility of capture-by-clerk; even with capture-by-space alien, Judge Johnson owns the judicial sewage that he dispensed upon those seeking justice.) One more time: If judges do not dispense justice, where does one go to obtain justice?
I keep hearing rumblings about a counter force building. I’m not (quite) entirely skeptical but: Any such entity about which such as I could possibly have any knowledge is by definition ineffective and/or already infiltrated and compromised. And any such entity, if it is to be effective will, of necessity, make itself known by something REALLY big, lest be isolated and squashed. How big? Think collapse; EMP or otherwise shutdown a large part of the grid,an internet crash, a plague… The probability of collapse producing anything other than dictatorship by the biggest, baddest survivor are approximately zero. So…
I suggest that we all do all within the system as long as it remains. That includes, beyond the obvious, massive resistance if a victim. Demanding that who has the ability to impeach such wastes of oxygen as Judge Johnson get on with it.
It’s existential. Either way.
