Nyx back in it - Captain added a no-transgenders rule to bylaws

This Julia Lea chick just keeps stepping in it. Now certainly isn't the time for something like this to come out.

A social media post shared among former members of the Mystic Krewe of Nyx on Tuesday revealed that the Mardi Gras parading organization required prospective members to have been designated female on their birth certificates, a little-known rule that apparently aimed to keep transgender people from the krewe.
The rule, added to the organization’s bylaws in 2015, allows the krewe leadership to request birth certificates from prospective members to prove their status.
“It means that transgender people are being discriminated against,” said former Nyx board member Rachael Kostelec, who said she was unaware of the rule until Tuesday. “I’m furious, it sickens me.”
The amendment to the bylaws, which was produced by krewe Captain Julie Lea, explains that Nyx was “created for women” and that “in consideration that the members, as women, desire to protect their privacy, membership shall be restricted to those persons whose original birth certificates reflect them to be ‘female.’”

Former members sharing it certainly knew it was a rule when they joined.

How is that even legal? What an idiot.

Private organization, they can do this. A few krewes don't allow black members, either. Hell, a few krewes stopped parading over that.

She's just throwing bombs in every direction now. I like it. ..
But I doubt it will have a happy ending. Maybe she's tired of being captain and rather than just quit, she wants to go down in glorious flames?

It isn’t discrimination?

I mean if board members aren't aware of 5 year old bylaws makes sense why they were so disorganized. Pretty pathetic leadership all around.

That depends. Is it discrimination for women’s sports to only allow those with woman on their birth certificate?

Probably will be soon.
