10th Circuit to Hear Case on Transgender Woman in Wyoming Sorority House

May 14, 2024, 03:20 PM

A U.S. appeals court in Denver is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit brought by six members of the University of Wyoming sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, who are challenging the admission of a transgender woman into their local chapter. The sorority members allege that the transgender woman, accused of inappropriate behavior, should not be admitted to the sorority, which they argue is exclusively for women. The case has sparked a broader debate on the definition of 'woman,' with Kappa Kappa Gamma's attorney stating that the term has multiple definitions. The sorority has filed an appeal after a lower court ruled in favor of admitting the transgender woman. The 10th Circuit will hear the case, which involves the sorority house.
