All is not well at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house on the University of Wyoming campus. The sisters there report that they are living in fear and are afraid to walk the halls of their own home. But it’s not street crime that they fear or a new outbreak of the pandemic. There is an extra “sister” around the house most evenings and “she” is a “transgender woman.” And we’re not talking about any random student. Artemis Langford is a hulking, 6-foot-2, 260-pound presence who the young women say stares at them constantly and has been seen becoming sexually aroused while looking at them. This may be a temporary condition, but the sisters have gone to court and are suing the university for potentially placing them in danger. (NY Post)

A group of sorority sisters who are suing the University of Wyoming for accepting a transgender woman into their group have broken cover to describe how they “live in constant fear in our home” — after the hulking student has become physically aroused around them.

The seven women from the Kappa Kappa Gamma house have filed a lawsuit against the university and Artemis Langford, 21, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound trans student who joined their chapter in September 2022.

Langford — referred to under the male pseudonym Terry Smith in the suit — has been living outside the sorority house and was expected to move in the coming year, according to Cowboy State Daily.

It sounds as if the current situation at the sorority house is a bit complicated and some concessions have already been made. It’s being reported that Langford has already found somewhere else to sleep and is expected to move out entirely some time later this year. But in the meantime, he’s still around for meals most days and hangs out there in the evenings.

The women report that he stares at them for long periods of time without saying anything. (No, that’s not creepy at all…) As mentioned above, the sisters report that he has become visibly aroused while looking at them and sometimes sits with a pillow in his lap, likely to hide that fact.

That should raise both red flags and questions for anyone. If Langford is supposedly a woman just like the rest of the members of the sorority, why would be staring at young women and getting aroused? Isn’t he supposed to be “just one of the girls?”

Hopefully, the situation will resolve itself soon enough, but this story is worth bringing up because it tosses one more log on the fire in the debate over safe spaces for women. Whether you’re talking about locker rooms for women’s sports, showers or bathrooms, it’s all the same. (The Kappa Kappa Gamma ladies have to share just two bathrooms on the upper floor of the sorority house.) Women in these situations expect privacy and safety when they return home. They are obviously not comfortable walking down the hallway to the bathroom in a towel and running into someone who is obviously a dauntingly large man staring at them. (One of the sisters mentioned that happening also.)

The suggestion was made that the university set up a separate fraternity/sorority house just for trans students. Has the issue become so widespread that it’s really reached that point? And that won’t satisfy the activists anyway. They don’t want their own spaces. They want to intrude on the spaces of cisgender people (God, I have come to hate that word with a burning passion) just to “make a point.” It feels like we’re approaching some sort of breaking point in this debate. I hope it can be peacefully resolved.
