Trans Woman's Alleged Voyeurism Ignites Lawsuit at Sorority

A transgender woman who was admitted into a sorority in Wyoming has been accused of making other members uncomfortable, in a lawsuit over her membership. Female sorority students are suing the Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) sisterhood over this.

The story, which has gained national spotlight, highlights the importance of ensuring safety and privacy for all students. If the allegations are true, this case underscores the need for educational institutions to establish clear guidelines and boundaries to protect the rights and well-being of every student, regardless of their gender identity. Rather than focusing on exclusion or discrimination, this case could be an opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue and implement appropriate measures to create a respectful and secure environment for all.

The lawsuit alleges that one woman changed her top without wearing a bra while not realizing Langford Smith, the person under question, was in the room staring at her, and other women noted later that Smith had "his hands over his genitals" and has since "repeatedly asked about her romantic attachments. It also claims that Langford (“Smith”) doesn’t live in the house, Langford often will sit on the couch in the second-floor common area, not studying, and watches the women.

If these allegations are not true, it will be deeply concerning and reflects a regressive attitude towards transgender rights. This situation perpetuates harmful stereotypes about transgender individuals, fueling fear and misunderstanding. Instead of fostering inclusivity and empathy, the lawsuit further marginalizes and discriminates against an already vulnerable population. Educational institutions should prioritize creating safe, supportive spaces for all students, regardless of their gender identity

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
