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 live on Earth, where people are being harmed every day by bigots and their propaganda. Whether you are smart enough to know what you are saying is harmful or too ignorant to be aware that bigoted propaganda leads to pain and death of innocent people, you are still responsible for your actions. Just like you are “just entertaining the idea” of banning trans people (I won’t use your slurs) from public accommodations because of something Ron DeSantis won’t stop saying on TV, I am “just entertaining the idea” that, in fact, maybe YOU instead of innocent trans people should have YOUR rights taken away and give YOU no opportunity to participate in the discussion of your basic rights to participate in society like the rest of us. Maybe you would get out of your defensive echo chamber for the first two seconds in your life and realize “hey, maybe I, Tb0n3, am just parroting Nazi propaganda about trans people (and mentally disabled people) and maybe I need to think about that a little more because I sure don’t like it when people treat me that way” instead of insisting that you are still being reasonable using a propaganda tactic that wasn’t new when Goebles employed it almost 90 years ago.
But of course, it took two responses for you to go to slurs above, so the idea that you would have any self awareness necessary to go “hey, maybe all these people that seem to disagree with me might have a point and I am the one who hasn’t thought it through” is a stretch. It’s been fun chatting with you, hate-bot. I hope you find a way to leave trans people and the mentally disabled alone in the future. They do not deserve your shitty views.
Look around you. Lemmy is the furthest left you can get for most places on the Internet. Just because I’m going against the grain here doesn’t mean much since it’s so far from normal. And maybe cool it with calling everybody a Nazi because they disagree with you. You’re diluting the impact all the way to being a joke. I’ve seen it a lot here. Stop harming society by calling everybody right of Bernie Sanders a Nazi. Oh, and you keep saying slurs plural. I said retard and who cares but what other damn slur?
You called trans people a term that has not been generally used for a good 25 years. You can just call them trans or transgender people and not trans***uals. I don’t know many leftists who regularly defend the use of ableist and anti-LGBT slurs and you really need to drop them if you want people to treat you like you aren’t a bigot trying to sow discord in spaces that you see as too left. Don’t forget, the pictures of the Nazi book burnings you may have seen are most likely them burning the archives of the largest gender clinic in the world at the time (most academic research regarding trans people was literally destroyed by the literal Nazis) and before they began summarily killing Jews, the Nazis murdered the mentally handicapped. So no, not everyone who is “to the right of Bernie Sanders” is a Nazi. But when you are like “I think we should entertain even the wildest, most hypothetical and propaganda-based fears regarding trans people and deny them the right to participate in society until we have “had enough time” to discuss them and also mentally handicap people and other people I disagree with too are slur” then forgive the rest of us for noticing the classic Nazi pattern. Especially when the rest of us have already read this history once. When they say “never again” they mean people like me telling people like you to quit regurgitating the Nazi line, whether you mean to or not. Again hopefully you didn’t mean to and hopefully this can be a wakeup call, but you need to take a breath and realize that you aren’t helping anyone other than those on the extreme right with this line of argument.

U dum
Close mindedness confirmed. Bigotry, on display. Tb0n3 is just some alt-right troll. No more feeding the trolls. Goodnight sweet Jordan Peterson fan.
You can continue to be wrong. No skin off my back.
