    They’re cowards. There was a vote. That was the time to “fight”, but at that time they didn’t want anyone to know they were against the decision.

    It was only after they got backing from conservative hate groups that they cared enough to cause problems.

      They’re cowards, bullies and liars.

      The lawsuit said one sister, who objected to Artemis’s membership, was facing away from the group when she took off her shirt without a bra. According to the lawsuit, another member later told the sister “that while watching her, Mr. Smith had become sexually aroused. He stood by the door with his hands over his genitals.”

      Artemis said that didn’t happen, and court records would later bolster her claim. In text messages submitted to court by her attorney, another sister, who was watching at the time, told the complaining sorority member that there was no erection. The woman texted in reply, “Damn that sucks,” adding that even so, she still felt Artemis was “creepy in other ways at least.”

    She drove quickly, not stopping once in six hours to eat or use the bathroom. She worried how others in rural Wyoming might perceive her.

    “I don’t pass well,” she said. “I’ve always been tall and heavy.”

    It’s tragic that some people literally won’t stop to use a bathroom or eat because they’re worried about their safety because of how they look. What does that say about our country?

    Wow this is a brutal read. The level of cruelty towards someone just trying to live their life is insane. Although the judge dismissing the motion with the correct pronouns was really good to hear.

    The American Greek fraternity system frankly baffles me. Why would a newly independent young person go through a humiliation gauntlet in order to join a hyper-conformist pseudo cult?

      Because they had to claw their way through the social strata of high school to be “popular” so they already know how to humiliate themselves.

    Fortunately, the lawsuit which would have barred her entry, got tossed out.

    Why is it none of these idiots know how transgenderism works? Or rather, why are they pretending they don’t know?

      A woman is a social construct. Not all women have XX chromosomes.

      Further more, this sorority had the chance to deny them initially knowing they were trans. They chose to accept this person before ostracizing them. It’s messed up regardless of how you see it.

        I understand but ostracizing is not the word.

        It was 7cowards put of 40. That means that at least 33 people in there supported her or at least didn’t get bitter to the point of taking her to court.

        But yhe, fuck these 7ugly cunts, just like they said about her I say about them.

        I saw the picture of the 7, they are ugly, un-lady like, don’t make an effort to dress as women…what else, oh yes they are clearly just lesbians taking advantage of other girls so they can see them naked.

      When you’re old and lonely, when all the boomers that agree with your hateful opinions are dead, you’re going to look back at this period of your life with regret. There is more you could be doing than festering in hate.
