A federal court has ordered six students who sued their University of Wyoming sorority for admitting a transgender woman to fish or cut bait because they have failed to take action on the pending case for nearly a year.
In March 2023, the plaintiffs — Jaylyn Westenbroek, Hannah Holtmeier, Allison Coghan, Grace Choate, Madeline Ramar and Megan Kosar — accused Kappa Kappa Gamma at UW of breaking its bylaws, breaching housing contracts and misleading sisters when it admitted Artemis Langford by a vote of its members.
But the government cannot interfere with how a private, voluntary organization determines its members, according to U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson, who dismissed the case in August 2023.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals also dismissed the case in June 2024, but on the basis that the lower court’s decision was not a final judgment and therefore not appealable.
More specifically, Johnson’s ruling was “without prejudice,” which gave the plaintiffs the option to refile an amended complaint. As such, the appeals court gave the plaintiffs two choices — amend their complaint or ask the lower court for a final judgment.
“Despite these instructions, Plaintiffs have taken no action,” Johnson wrote in his order to impose a deadline.
“More than nine months after the Tenth Circuit issued its decision, they have neither amended their complaint nor notified us of their decision to ‘stand on the original complaint,’ which would allow them to receive a final judgment that could be appealed,” Johnson wrote.
The plaintiffs have 30 days to file an amended complaint, or Johnson’s dismissal will convert to a final judgment and the plaintiffs will no longer have the option to refile.
Such a deadline came at the request of Kappa Kappa Gamma, which filed the motion after the defendants told Johnson in January that they did not have a plan for how to proceed in the case.
Since Johnson’s 2023 ruling, an Ohio court transferred a lawsuit to Wyoming’s U.S. District Court because of its similarity to the case. Patsy Levang and Cheryl Tuck-Smith, two Kappa Kappa Gamma alumni, filed the complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against the organization after it expelled them.
The two women openly opposed Kappa’s trans-inclusive policy and supported the plaintiffs in the Wyoming case, including writing an op-ed that was published in the National Review without the sorority’s prior approval. That violated Kappa’s media policy, according to court filings, and both women were kicked out of the organization by a vote of its fraternity council.
Levang and Tuck-Smith argue the termination was retaliatory in their complaint. They also argue that Kappa “is bound to defend the single-sex nature” of the organization, and by including transgender women, it has “improperly attempted to broaden its membership criteria.”
But the additional litigation is all the more reason the case in Wyoming should not be delayed, the defendants argued in their request for a deadline.
“The court should not permit plaintiffs to hold this case in limbo as individuals who supported their claims and share legal counsel seek to have a different court reach a different conclusion on the same derivative claim and legal issues this court has already addressed without being bound by the preclusion doctrines that would attach to a final order,” according to the motion.
Separately, attorneys for Langford have asked the court to dismiss her from the case.
“While certain plaintiffs have made careers out of this case and may now be booked for speaking engagements on women’s issues, Ms. Langford has been vilified in the media coverage viewed tens of millions of times,” Rachel Berkness, an attorney for Langford, argued in a motion that included 67 exhibits of mostly online comments.
“Ms. Langford has had to bear the backlash of plaintiffs’ allegations for nearly two years,” Berkness argued.
The plaintiffs have until June 9 to file an amended complaint.
The problem is the good looking dreams of only having things of beauty and getting rid of the nasty food producers and energy producers will bring amazingly bad food shortages. You simply cannot eat or survive without those food producers you hate so much. Making food production take the bottom of the list compared to pleasure use is a recipe for disaster.
Let’s finally admit this has zero to do with personal beliefs, biology, religious freedoms or any other post hoc excuse these six UW females have concocted.
We live in an attention economy. Jaylyn Westenbroek, Hannah Holtmeier, Allison Coghan, Grace Choate, Madeline Ramar and Megan Kosar are shamelessly cashing in. This is clickbait for them. The intention is dopamine hits via garnering likes on Fakebook, social media posts and their 15 mins in the yellow incandescent basement spotlight of WYs backrow. The six have nothing of value to offer their community, university, state or Nation, but learned if they step up to an open mic and say hateful things, they’ll finally get the attention they crave. They are following abhorrent examples set by National embarrassments like Georgia’s Rep Green, South Carolina’s Rep Mace and CO’s Rep Handie Boebert. All lack common decency, decorum or self-respect, but giddily mine a wealth of attention when they step in front of the camera and start spewing lies and bigotry.
For team orange, look up the Little Rock Nine ‘scream image.’ In September 1957, and Black teenager was being escorted to a recently desegregated school, surrounded by hate filled White girls screaming insults and racial slurs. One young White female found her fame when the press photos came out.
“Hazel Bryan was just 15 when the photo was taken, but her actions on September 4, 1957—and the hatred on her face—turned her into an infamous symbol of the bigotry of Jim Crow and the intolerance faced by the students who tried to go to school that day.”
Fast forward to 14 MAY 2025, and instead of the Little Rock Nine we have the UW six. Hate filled infamous failures embarrassing their sorority, university, state and Nation. Shame on Jaylyn Westenbroek, Hannah Holtmeier, Allison Coghan, Grace Choate, Madeline Ramar and Megan Kosar for their narcissism, vanity and bigotry.

Perversion is NOT a synonym for progress.
Bigotry isn’t either
In the summer of 2024, Mark Robinson entered the NC governor’s race, branding himself as a far-right Christian maga supporter. The draft dodger endorsed him repeatedly. Mark became nationally famous when he was found to be posting on the porn forum “Nude Africa.” He posted under the handle “minisoldr,” claiming to be a “Black Nazi” and enjoying porn with transgender actors. (The WH 34x felon continued to support Mark, BTW).
America is seeing a surge in “every accusation is a confession” amongst the trump base. The more vocally opposed a ‘Murikan conservative is to something in public, the more likely they are to hold that as a fetish behind closed doors. Freud was right. Pick up “Civilization and Its Discontents” from your local library, if the neo-fascists haven’t burned it yet.
Appeal or not, they’ll still appear on faux news to play victims.
