Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas Stripped of Swim Titles in UPenn Trump Deal
The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from its women's sports teams, resolving a federal civil rights investigation centered on former swimmer Lia Thomas. The U.S. Department of Education announced the voluntary agreement Tuesday, stating that Penn violated Title IX by allowing Thomas to compete in women's events during the 2021–2022 season.
As part of the resolution, Penn will reinstate Division I swimming records and titles to athletes displaced by Thomas's victories and issue personalized apology letters to each of them, per the Department of Education. The university must adopt "biology-based" definitions of male and female in athletics and publicly commit to barring "males from competing in female athletic programs." Penn and the NCAA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Education Department launched its investigation in February 2025. In April, it concluded that Penn's decision to allow Thomas to compete violated Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education.
Under the resolution, according to the Department of Education:
Penn will restore swimming records and titles to female athletes displaced by Thomas.
The university will send personalized apology letters to those athletes.
It must adopt biology-based definitions of sex in athletics.
It must be publicly stated that males will not be allowed to compete in female sports programs.
It has taken way too long, but justice has finally prevailed.
If ANY MAN were to go into a girl's locker room and strip down totally naked (with dick and balls in full view) that man could be arrested for a sex crime.
Those of you whose birth year doesn't begin with a 2 probably are able to think back to a saner time. Men competing in women's sports? Really?
The University Of Pennsylvania has finally grown some brains.
