Paula Scanlan, a former University of Pennsylvania swimmer, is speaking out after her school banned biological males from women’s sports. This historic move came after the Trump administration forced UPenn to follow the law. Scanlan never expected her school to apologize for letting men compete against women.
She suffered firsthand when a biological male took spots and records from female athletes. That swimmer was Lia Thomas, who joined the women’s team despite being born male. Scanlan and her teammates felt betrayed by their own university. They were forced to undress next to a man in their locker room.
UPenn finally admitted it broke the law by allowing this. The Trump administration made them sign a settlement to protect women’s sports. The school must now restore all records and titles stolen by male athletes. They also banned men from women’s locker rooms and teams going forward.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced this huge victory. She said putting men in women’s spaces isn’t safe or fair. President Trump’s orders made this possible by defending women from extreme gender ideology. McMahon praised Trump for standing up for female athletes.
Scanlan told Newsmax she’s shocked Penn finally apologized. She hopes other schools learn from this and fear Trump’s administration. Many colleges still allow men to invade women’s sports and private areas. Scanlan demands they face the same crackdown as UPenn did.
This settlement proves common sense is winning. Over 90% of Americans know men don’t belong in women’s sports. It’s unsafe and destroys fairness. Biological differences give males huge physical advantages no surgery can erase. Women and girls deserve to compete on a level field.
This fight goes beyond swimming pools. It’s about protecting every woman’s right to safety and fairness. Scanlan’s courage inspired this change. Her story shows one voice can make universities obey the law. Female athletes everywhere are safer today because she spoke up.
Thanks to President Trump, women’s sports are being saved. His leadership forced UPenn to admit its mistakes. Conservatives will keep fighting until every school respects biology and Title IX. This is how we defend America’s daughters.
