Transgender swimming champion Lia Thomas will be stripped of University of Pennsylvania swimming titles after the Ivy League school bowed to pressure
from the Trump administration.

The university will also issue formal apologies to every biological female competitor who lost out to a transgender competitor following an
investigation by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights
(OCR).

The probe found UPenn violated Title IX by “allowing a male to compete in female athletic programs and occupy female-only intimate facilities.”

“Today’s resolution agreement with UPenn is yet another example of the
Trump effect in action. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, UPenn
has agreed both to apologize for its past Title IX violations and to
ensure that women’s sports are protected at the University for future generations of female athletes,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said
in a statement.

The resolution agreement signed by the university will require it to
undertake a host of additional actions, including adopting “biology-based definitions for ‘male’ and ‘female’ under Title IX” and issuing a public statement that it will no longer allow biological men to compete in female athletic programs or occupy women-only locker rooms.

The decision was cheered by athletes who were impacted by the inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sports in recent years.

“As a former UPenn swimmer who had to compete against and share a locker
room with a male athlete, I am deeply grateful to the Trump Administration
for refusing to back down on protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades. I am also pleased that my alma mater has finally
agreed to take not only the lawful path, but the honorable one,” said
Paula Scanlan, a former University of Pennsylvania swimmer.

Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer who has been
outspoken on the issue, said, “It is my hope that today demonstrates to educational institutions that they will no longer be allowed to trample
upon women’s civil rights, and renews hope in every female athlete that
their country’s highest leadership will not relent until they have the
dignity, safety, and fairness they deserve.”

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
