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.

    What does being trans have to do with it? Rape is wrong whether a trans person or a cis person does it. It’s just wrong, period.

      I’m sure female on female rape happens but penis in vagina penetrative rape is the biggest fear for women with that kind of mentality. Thank media if you want but it’s about the only kind of rape reported on.
