The ruling came down on Friday in answer to several members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority suing the national sorority in March to get transgender Artemis Langford’s membership revoked, according to Fox News. Langford was born a biological male but is now identifying as a woman.

The sisters described Langford as a “peeping” transgender. Despite the looming threat to the girls in the sorority, the judge determined that the school did not violate any policies by permitting a transgender to join the sorority.

“The University of Wyoming chapter voted to admit – and, more broadly, a sorority of hundreds of thousands approved – Langford. With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the Court will not define ‘woman’ today. The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted ‘woman’, otherwise undefined in the nonprofit’s bylaws, expansively; this Judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge,” Wyoming US District Court Judge Alan Johnson ruled.

“Holding that Plaintiffs fail to plausibly allege their derivative, breach of contract, tortious interference, and direct claims, the Court dismisses, without prejudice, Plaintiffs’ causes of action,” he continued.

Seven members of Kappa Kappa Gamma filed the lawsuit according to Fox News. They accused Langford of violating sorority policies by joining even though he is not a woman and has not made any real effort to appear female.

“Langford states that he is transgender and that he self-identifies as a woman. His behavior, however, does not reflect a man living as a woman let alone a man attempting to ‘consistently live’ as a woman,” the complaint contended.

“Other than occasionally wearing women’s clothing, Langford makes little effort to resemble a woman. He has not undergone treatments to create a more feminine appearance, such as female hormones, feminization surgery, or laser hair removal. Plaintiffs often observe Langford with the facial hair one would expect on a man who either did not shave that morning or whose facial hair has regrown by the evening,” the suit charged.

The suit went on to accuse Langford of other unacceptable behaviors such as “voyeuristically peeping on them while they were in intimate situations, and, in at least one occasion, had a visible erection while doing so.”

Several members of the sorority claimed Langford’s presence in their house left them feeling “vulnerable” and “uncomfortable,” according to the Daily Mail.

The sisters also alleged that Langford would stare at them for hours without saying anything while sitting with a pillow in his lap.

They claimed that he would take photos of the girls at a slumber party and then make inappropriate comments to them. Some of those dealt with “what vaginas look like, breast cup size, whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control.”

Fellow sisters reportedly later said that Langford had “his hands over his genitals” and appeared sexually aroused.

Despite multiple members of the sorority taking part in the lawsuit, the national sorority filed a motion to dismiss the suit in June according to Fox News.

“The central issue in this case is simple: Do the plaintiffs have a legal right to be in a sorority that excludes transgender women? They do not,” the motion noted.

“Plaintiffs request the Court to insert itself into this controversial political debate and declare that a private organization can only interpret the term ‘woman’ using Plaintiffs’ exclusionary definition of biologically born females,” it added.

“Women have a biological reality that deserves to be protected and recognized and we will continue to fight for that right just as women suffragists for decades have been told that their bodies, opinions, and safety doesn’t matter,” an attorney for the sorority sisters, Cassie Craven, wrote.

Langford was inducted into the sorority in 2022. The politicized move was cheered by leftists who crowed that Kappa Kappa Gamma was “the first sorority in the University of Wyoming’s history to accept an open-transgender student into their ranks.”
