MSNBC praises trans-identifying man accused of harassing sorority girls.

MSNBC Anchor‌ Praises Transgender Sorority Member Accused of Disturbing Behavior

Yesterday, MSNBC news anchor Yasmin⁣ Vossoughian ⁢effusively praised Artemis Langford, the first ever transgender-identifying man to join ​a sorority, who ‌is accused of engaging in threatening and disturbing behavior by six of his ⁤sorority sisters in the Kappa​ Kappa Gamma’s University of​ Wyoming chapter.

“It takes a very brave and unique person to do this — to be a first in a situation like this, and then to continue on,” said ‌Vossoughian, praising the man accused of sexual harassment.

The interview ⁢comes on the heels of⁤ a ruling by Judge ‍Alan‌ B. Johnson of the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming, which ​permitted Langford to live in ‌the Wyoming chapter ​of the​ Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority ⁢house this‌ school year. Johnson’s ⁤decision dismissed a lawsuit brought forth by the six aforementioned sorority sisters, who alleged that in admitting ‌Langford, ‌Kappa Kappa Gamma did not follow its bylaws ‌and breached its housing contract, among other things.

Johnson made his decision in​ part because the Kappa Kappa Gamma bylaws do not “expansively” define a woman.‍ The sorority’s recently updated bylaws read ⁤that a woman is “defined as an individual who ⁤consistently lives and self-identifies as a woman.”

Even with the sorority’s woke-ified bylaws, however, Langford still appears to be in violation of the rules. According to the plaintiffs, Langford, who is reportedly 6’2’’ and‍ weighs 260 pounds, has undergone no chemical or surgical interventions. Moreover, ‍the ​women claim that Langford rarely attempts to even look like ‍a female, which means he does⁢ not “consistently [live]” like a woman.

During the MSNBC interview, Langford and Vossoughian repeatedly claimed that Langford was targeted and ⁤attacked because of ⁣his “trans identity,” with Langford likening⁣ his experience to racial and religious discrimination.

This ​is ⁤false. The ​women did not oppose Langford’s admittance because he is ⁣trans-identifying; they opposed⁣ it because he⁢ is a man. “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 lawsuit.

More⁣ importantly, his admittance poses an immediate,⁢ serious risk ⁤to the women’s safety. Yet not once did Vossoughian report on the allegations in the lawsuit, let alone question Langford about them. Apparently, MSNBC has abandoned the “believe all women” mantra that it ⁢desperately clung to ​during the Trump years.

The lawsuit details how Langford does not appear‌ to‌ be a well-meaning, gender-dysphoric individual but a predator. The women accuse Langford of staring at sorority sisters without talking for‌ hours, asking inappropriate⁢ questions, and at one point having “an erection visible through his leggings.”

The⁣ lawsuit states that during the ​recruitment process, Langford “avoided ‌answering ⁣questions about his hobbies, passions, ​or involvement ‍in other organizations.” Instead, he ​inquired about whether he could‌ live in the ⁤sorority house and “talked about his desire to be near cadavers‌ and to touch dead bodies.”

“One sorority member walked down the hall to take a shower, wearing only a towel. She felt an unsettling ⁢presence, turned, and ​saw [Langford] watching her silently,” the lawsuit‌ states. The ⁣sisters also‌ claim Langford​ “repeatedly questioned the women about what vaginas look like, breast cup size,⁤ whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control.”

During a yoga class ⁣with ‌all the sorority members at​ the University of Wyoming, Langford apparently “sat ​in the back‍ of the‍ room⁤ for‍ an hour and watched the‌ assembled women flex their bodies.” The suit ‌claims he also used his phone to secretly take photos of the sisters in the sorority house without their consent.

The stories shared by the plaintiffs took place​ last‍ year when Langford was a member of the sorority but​ did not live ‍in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, and there is‌ no telling what will occur this school year now ‍that⁤ he is living⁤ with ⁣the women. However, the concerns surrounding the‌ Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters’ mental and​ physical ⁣well-being are ⁣not a concern of MSNBC, which is more interested in​ celebrating ‌an accused sexual predator ⁤than ‌truthfully reporting on⁤ the allegations made⁣ by terrorized, vulnerable⁢ women.
