University of Wyoming sorority reveals it CHANGED its definition of ‘woman’ to allow 6ft2, 260lb trans member to join – and slams sisters who sued because she ‘stared at them with an erection visible through leggings’

Artemis Langford – pervert cross dresser

A University of Wyoming sorority has slammed its female members for complaining after it allowed a 6ft2, 260lb trans woman to live in the house – insisting the term ‘woman’ is ‘unquestionably open to many interpretations’.

Sisters at the campus’ Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) chapter claim the organization changed the definition of a woman to allow trans member Artemis Langford to join in September 2022.

After the sorority’s leadership allegedly bullied and intimidated the girls to accept Langford, she was then quickly met with accusations she would ‘peep at (the other girls) while visibly aroused’.

NY Times Smears North Korea Defector on Front Page For Criticizing US Left

It takes gall to go after a North Korean defector, and on the front page of the New York Times, no less. The paper’s staff writer Charles Homans’ odd choice of target appeared in the Friday edition under the rather tasteless headline, “Yeonmi Park, a North Korean Dissident, Defects to the American Right.”

Although the Times has in the past been notably soft on North Korea’s Communist dictatorship, one could hardly imagine the paper straining so hard to cast doubt on a defector who suffered greatly under the regime, just for the crime of supporting conservative policy and comparing the American left to the dictatorship she escaped.

Anger of Winston Churchill’s family as St Paul’s Cathedral lambasts him as a ‘white supremacist’

St Paul’s Cathedral has provoked uproar by describing Sir Winston Churchill as an ‘unashamed imperialist’ and ‘white supremacist’ in an online post about Britain’s great wartime leader.

The cathedral, which was the venue for Sir Winston’s state funeral in 1965, removed the highly derogatory descriptions only last week after receiving complaints that they vilified a man voted as the greatest-ever Briton.

The Mail on Sunday understands the insulting description appeared on St Paul’s website for more than a year – but it remained unclear last night who was responsible for writing it.

Doctors urge ‘Macon Bacon’ baseball team change its name: ‘You wouldn’t have Team Asbestos’

ATLANTA (AP) — Entering court using a walker, a doctor’s note clutched in his hand, 70-year-old Dana Williams, who suffers serious heart problems, hypertension and asthma, pleaded to delay eviction from his two-bedroom apartment in Atlanta.

Although sympathetic, the judge said state law required him to evict Williams and his 25-year-old daughter De’mai Williams in April because they owed $8,348 in unpaid rent and fees on their $940-a-month apartment.

They have been living in limbo ever since.

Local Wisconsin Supervisor Calls For Police Investigation After Child Participates In Madison’s Adult Naked Bike Ride

After a naked child was apparently allowed to participate alongside nude adults in a so-called “body positivity” bike ride around Madison’s Capitol Square on Saturday, a member of the Dane County Board of Supervisors is calling for a police investigation.

About 150 adult bicyclists, most of whom were reportedly totally naked except for shoes and helmets, paraded around downtown Madison last weekend. Their route included State Street, a popular pedestrian road that connects to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But it also included a couple of loops around Capitol Square, where every Saturday during the summer, locals, including families and young children, gather for the busy farmer’s market.
