Langford, who is 6'2' and weighs 260lbs, has faced accusations she 'peeped at the other girls while aroused' after joining the sorority in September 2022.
Comment: The story so far:
- Sorority sisters file lawsuit against Kappa Kappa Gamma for allowing 6'2 trans-identified male with 'visible erections' into their Wyoming sorority
- University of Wyoming sorority girls forced to disclose identities in transgender lawsuit
A University of Wyoming sorority has slammed its female members for complaining after it allowed a 6ft2, 260lb trans woman to live in the house - insisting the term 'woman' is 'unquestionably open to many interpretations'.
Sisters at the campus' Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) chapter claim the organization changed the definition of a woman to allow trans member Artemis Langford to join in September 2022.
After the sorority's leadership allegedly bullied and intimidated the girls to accept Langford, she was then quickly met with accusations she would 'peep at (the other girls) while visibly aroused'.
Members said they were left 'in constant fear in our home', and the lawsuit alleges that she was frequently caught with 'an erection visible through (her) leggings'.
In a fiery response to the lawsuit, the KKG sorority condemned the girls for their 'frivolous' legal action, arguing they only tried to boot Langford from the sorority house for 'their own political purposes'.
At the heart of the lawsuit is the issue of defining a 'woman', with the sorority sisters arguing that because KKG's governing documents define it as a space exclusively for females, the organization broke its own rules by admitting a biological male.
The sisters claim that the sorority changed its criteria to allow Langford to apply, while KKGs lawyers said the definition of 'woman' has evolved since the sorority's founding 150 years ago.
'The term (woman) is unquestionably open to many interpretations,' the sorority's filing claimed, according to CowboyStateDaily.
Although the plaintiffs offer a definition in their lawsuit as an 'adult human female', KKG says this is restrictive, and they are seeking to dismiss on the basis of changing views around what constitutes a 'woman'.
Comment: The court should require them to provide a non-circular definition of a woman, then. The fact is, they can't do it.

The lawsuit makes a series of disturbing allegations against Langford, including that she would stare at the other girls for hours without saying anything, while sitting with a pillow in her lap.
Langford is also accused of taking photos of the girls at a slumber party and making inappropriate comments to them, including about 'what vaginas look like, breast cup size, whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control'.
On one occasion, one of the women claims she was changing clothes inside the house without a bra on, but turned around to find Langford staring at her, the complaint alleged.
Fellow sisters reportedly later revealed to her that Langford had 'his hands over his genitals' and appeared sexually aroused.
'Since that event, Mr. Smith [Langford] has repeatedly asked [the woman] about her romantic attachments,' the lawsuit read.
The women also claimed that Langford is attracted to women, which they say is evident on her Tinder profile 'through which he seeks to meet women.'
Another alleged she watched her walked down the hallway in a towel and that she sat at the back of the room during a group yoga class in December and 'watched the assembled young women flex their bodies,' the lawsuit said.
However, the organization is seeking to dismiss the suit to avoid 'the significant harm that Plaintiffs and their supporters have unleashed on this organization and the chapter they profess to love.'
For those that insist on opposing Langford, the sorority suggested they leave the sorority, stating: 'Plaintiffs can also resign their membership in the organization if a position of inclusion is too offensive to their personal values.'
Comment: A 'position of inclusion' apparently means having to tolerate being gawked at by a low-IQ pervert.
The lawsuit was branded 'baseless' in the sorority's scathing rebuke.
However, several members of the sorority have spoken out against Langford's presence in their home and say she leaves them feeling 'vulnerable' and 'uncomfortable'.
'It is really uncomfortable. Some of the girls have been sexually assaulted or sexually harassed. Some girls live in constant fear in our home,' one of the sisters, Hannah, told Megyn Kelly on her podcast.
'Men are never allowed on the second floor of our house apart from moving in and moving out.
'So it is an only-female space and not like living in the dorms. We share just a couple of main bathrooms but it is supposed to be safe space for us to rest our head at night.'
This culminated in the lawsuit, which was brought against the sorority's parent organization, its president Mary Pat Rooney, and its housing corporation. Langford was named in the lawsuit, but is not being sought for monetary damages.
Some of the sisterhood has also alleged that the sorority's leadership pressured and bullied the members to accept Langford into the group.
One sister, who remained anonymous, told the National Review that Langford has not made 'any effort' to 'physically look like a girl', adding: 'He's just calling himself a girl. All you have to do is identify as a she/her.'
Leadership reportedly told members that if they have any issues with Langford then they can 'drop out'.
Comment: They should. The sorority clearly doesn't have their backs. Let KKG devolve into a sorority for freaks and perverts while the real women congregate elsewhere.
One member even said that she was called a 'bigot and a transphobe' for not wanting to shower and sleep with Langford in the same area.
The told the National Review: 'It's an awful situation to be in. It's scary, not knowing if I'm going to transfer out of the school next semester.'
The suit is calling for a judge to declare Langford sorority membership as void and to award unspecified damages according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit states: 'An adult human male does not become a woman just because he tells others that he has a female 'gender identity' and behaves in what he believes to be a stereotypically female manner.
'The Fraternity Council has betrayed the central purpose and mission of Kappa Kappa Gamma by conflating the experience of being a woman with the experience of men engaging in behavior generally associated with women.'
[The suit] claims national sorority officials pressured the local chapter to violate sorority rules, including those for voting to induct new members.
All of the women are calling for a judge to declare Langford sorority membership as void and to award unspecified damages according to the lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in the District Court in Cheyenne.
However, the Executive Director of the sorority, Kari Kittrell Poole, told the Associated Press that the lawsuit 'contains numerous false allegations,' but the sorority couldn't comment in detail.
'KKG does not discriminate based on factors including gender identity', she added.
Langford has also requested to be let out of the lawsuit, claiming she has been 'dragged before the court' to defend herself against 'vicious rumors that have been used to vilify the transgender community for ages'.
Especially the fact that the Daily Mail (of all shabby tabloids) reports it. As if the UK was better off in that regard ...
