The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has agreed to comply with President Trump and the Department of Education’s ban on biological men competing in women’s sports. William “Lia” Thomas hardest hit.
From MSN:
“The University of Pennsylvania has entered into a formal resolution agreement with the Trump administration’s Department of Education to ban transgender women from competing in women’s sports. The agreement comes as part of a federal civil rights investigation that found UPenn violated Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs, by allowing Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, to compete on the women’s swim team.
The Department of Education launched its investigation on February 6 and concluded in April that the university’s decision to allow Thomas to compete in women’s events constituted a Title IX violation. In response, the university has now agreed to a comprehensive set of changes outlined in the resolution.”

As part of the agreement, UPenn will reinstate Division I swimming records, titles, and recognitions to female athletes who were displaced by William’s participation and send letters appologizing the the affected swimmers. Men will also be banned from the women’s locker rooms and women-only facilities.
Kudos to President Trump, Linda McMahon and Riley Gaines for their hard efforts to protect girls and women and their sports and safe spaces!
