Refusing to define the word ‘woman’ is a big fat cop-out  


What a cop-out.

In the bizarre case of sorority sisters from the University of Wyoming suing to block a trans woman, Artemis Langford, from joining Kappa Kappa Gamma, the legal authority punted on telling a universal truth.

Judge Alan Johnson tossed the suit, saying the sorority doesn’t explicitly define a woman, so he won’t step into the morass.

Easier to keep his shoes clean.

No mucky footprints left behind to upset the insane gender ideologues, who have muddied our basic concept of biological sex.

“With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the court will not define a ‘woman’ today,” Johnson wrote.

After three years of being lectured by the “trust the science” crowd, we’re suddenly at a loss to crystalize an irrefutable biological fact. Suddenly, no consensus can be found.

How ridiculous.

“The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted ‘woman,’ otherwise undefined in the nonprofits bylaws, expansively,” Johnson wrote, adding, “this judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge.”

We’re in the upside-down world, where the word “woman” — a female human with specific reproductive organs and functions — is no longer objective.

Rather, it’s now an amorphous term open to interpretation and whims. Mad Libs fill-in-the-blank lunacy.

One can assume the sorority’s bylaws were written in saner times, when it would have been incomprehensible to its authors that they’d need to explicitly lay out what is covered in middle-school biology class.

The Cambridge dictionary defines “sorority” as “a social organization for female students at some US colleges.” Definitions for all of these words are pretty easy to come by.

But Johnson insisted the sorority sisters had no case.

“The University of Wyoming chapter voted to admit — and, more broadly, a sorority of hundreds of thousands approved — Langford,” he wrote.

However, in an interview with Megyn Kelly, the seven sisters who sued said they felt “intimidated” to vote Langford, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound biological male, into their inner sanctum. They added that Langford’s presence made them uncomfortable.

They have claimed that Langford asked what their vaginas looked like and had gotten visibly aroused — sometimes using a pillow to hide the excitement.

I went to neither law school nor medical school, but I can report that women don’t have penises that poke through leggings.

Kari Kittrell Poole, the executive director of the sorority, defended Langford, saying that they don’t discriminate against gender identity. But being a woman is not simply a state of mind — it’s a physical classification.

If being a woman were merely a flight of fancy, one wouldn’t need to take meds or go under the knife to appear more feminine.

Johnson isn’t the only one putting his head in the sand to duck activist backlash. During her Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Ketanji Brown Jackson — a woman of great intellect — declined to define “woman,” ridiculously saying, “I’m not a biologist.

However, I can recall no such rapid-onset amnesia about the word during the reversal of Roe v Wade.

The real story has nothing to do with sororities or fraternities. It is merely our society gone mad: People in big positions are afraid to say what we’ve known is true since the dawn of human history.

Kick the can down the road, but this isn’t ending with the word “woman.” It’s just the beginning.
