The University of Pennsylvania has stripped transgender swimmer Lia Thomas of her records and titles. This is a victory for fairness in women’s sports. The change comes after pressure from President Trump’s Education Department.
Penn will give the awards to the female athletes who rightfully earned them. The school must also apologize to swimmers who lost chances because of unfair competition. This corrects past mistakes that hurt women’s opportunities.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon called this a “great victory for women and girls.” She said the Trump administration will keep fighting to protect Title IX. This law ensures fair treatment for female athletes across America.
The university agreed to ban transgender athletes from women’s teams going forward. Locker rooms and bathrooms will be strictly separated by sex. Penn had no choice but to follow the law after facing threats to lose $175 million in federal funds.
Cisgender women who missed out on awards will get formal apologies. They suffered anxiety and competitive disadvantages under old rules. Penn admitted its policies harmed female athletes and created unfairness.
This decision sets a strong example for all schools nationwide. It shows the importance of keeping women’s sports for biological females. The Biden-era NCAA rules were wrong and hurt real women.
President Trump’s team is cracking down on woke policies that destroy fairness. They are investigating other schools that let men play women’s sports. This protects our daughters and granddaughters.
Common sense has finally won at Penn. President Trump is standing up for women when others wouldn’t. This is how we save women’s sports for future generations.
