Can you spot the odd one out?
[OK it's not hard: he's got a - somewhat unnecessary - ring round him..]
From Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx:
Seven women are suing the Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) sorority after it was told to admit a male who identifies as transgender to the University of Wyoming (UW) chapter. Artemis Langford, 21, was accepted into KKG following a vote that was held after he submitted an admission form last September....
As a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Langford, who is 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 260 pounds, is allowed to live in the KKG house, which accommodates up to 50 women. Though he currently lives outside of the sorority house, he is set to move into the residence within the year, where he would have access to the shared shower facilities.
Doors to the communal showers do not lock, and the main bathroom located on the second floor is not equipped with a private changing area, reports Cowboy State Daily.
Though Langford resides elsewhere for the time being, women allege that he frequently sits in the second-floor common area, watching the women.
“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,” reads the legal complaint, filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court for Wyoming.
“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.”
Court records reveal that the young women are alleging Langford had been voyeuristically peeping on them while they were in intimate situations, and, in at least one occasion, had a visible erection while doing so.
“One sorority member walked down the hall to take a shower, wearing only a towel … She felt an unsettling presence, turned, and saw Mr. Smith watching her silently,” the court document reads.
“Mr. Smith has, while watching members enter the sorority house, had an erection visible through his leggings,” the suit says. “Other times, he has had a pillow in his lap.”
The complaint adds that Langford is “sexually interested in women” as evidenced by his Tinder profile “through which he seeks to meet women.” It is further alleged that Langford took photographs of the women while at a sorority slumber party, where he also is said to have made inappropriate comments....
The lawsuit also highlighted a disturbing incident involving one of the women as she changed her clothing. Unaware that Langford had returned to the house, she faced away from the women and removed her shirt. The woman, who was not wearing a bra, turned to discover Langford staring at her after she had put on a clean shirt.
Some of the KKG members would later tell the woman that Langford had appeared sexually aroused during this incident. It was claimed that Langford stood with “his hands over his genitals,” and has since repeatedly questioned the woman about her “romantic attachments.”
“Smith repeatedly questioned the women about what vaginas look like, breast cup size, whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control,” the complaint alleges.
Who would have thought, years ago, that all a creepy guy needed to do nowadays to get access to women's private spaces is to say he's a woman? - and anyone who complains is a nasty far-right transphobic bigot....
They should be kicked out, not because they're trans, but because they're a creep who has committed sexual misconduct and made others feel uncomfortable. I'm saying that and I'm trans.
