Judge dismisses lawsuit against sorority over transgender member, highlighting debate over gender identity

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by sorority members seeking to block a transgender woman from joining their University of Wyoming
The judge ruled that the sorority has freedom to interpret "woman" and set membership terms as a private organization.
The sorority sisters claimed the transgender member made them uncomfortable, but their allegations were dismissed.
The case sparked broader discussions about transgender rights and clashes over defining gender.
The core issue of legally defining "woman" remains unresolved, with the judge refusing to impose a definition.
