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.
Doubling down on the hate speech I see. Is this your programming glitching? I’ve heard AI has trouble when the conversation goes more than a couple of lines, but I didn’t know it went into full on KKK mode. At least, I hope you are AI, given how easy it was to get you to show some true hateful colors.
I just want to thank you very much for the laugh your comment gave me. I legit giggled reading it.
Honestly if you think I’m KKK or even racist from what I’ve said you need to get out more. Maybe look up the definition of race and figure out that women being uncomfortable sharing women only spaces with transsexuals is not a race.
I didn’t call you racist. So far your bigotry has been anti-trans and anti-disability. I fear you may be antisemitic too, since that is sort of the historic formula that people like talking about so much. And now you use anti-trans slurs on top of your anti-disable slurs. If it sounds like a bigot. But this is all a waste of time. Didn’t we already establish that women are uncomfortable sharing the internet with you and, therefore, you should not be allowed here anymore? Why are you still posting all of your vile hate?
Watch out you don’t dislocate your arm with all that reaching. Maybe look up what the KKK was/is before you deny calling me racist. And when did I use anti-trans slurs? Calling somebody a retard has been a thing for a long time and it’s still well in use. Just because you think I’m saying it to be mean to the mentally retarded doesn’t mean that I am. And now we’re all done with the personal attacks, yeah? Maybe you can quit being an abusive asshole.
I am just trying to protect fearful women from you, including your hate filled, slur-ridden speech. And if you want me to call you a racist too, OK, you are racist too. All the more reason for all of your devices to be kept away from you, for the protection of all those women of course. You can deny your Klan status all you like, but when you parrot alt-right talking points, and double down on slurs (also, they taught us to stop using r****d like 30 years ago, what chatbot planet do you live on where that’s OK?), we surely won’t take your word for it. Again, you don’t understand that people are really afraid of you, so it is better to err on the side of caution and protect everyone from you. You may not feel like you are dangerous, but aren’t you the worst person to judge your potential danger to others? Again, I am just here to protect women and apparently the mentally disabled and probably the Jews from you, so please stay off the internet until the rest of us decide you are not a threat. It will just be a few decades, surely you don’t mind.
I’m from this strange planet called Earth where people have the right to offend and be offended. We’re saying a thing. And entertaining an idea does not mean you agree with it. You seem to be from somewhere called the internet. Most people don’t live in the internet, so you might want to leave the internet and touch grass once every decade or so.
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.
