The University of Pennsylvania has erased transgender swimmer Lia Thomas’ school records and titles. This happened because Penn made a deal with the Trump administration’s Education Department. The school agreed to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports to keep federal funding.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon called this a big win for women and girls everywhere. She said the Department of Education will keep fighting to protect Title IX. This law ensures fair treatment for women in sports. Penn had to follow new federal rules to avoid losing millions of dollars.
Penn will remove all records set by transgender athletes and give them to biological female swimmers. The school already erased Lia Thomas’ records in freestyle events. New record holders like Kayla Fu now get credit they deserve. This action fixes past unfairness against female athletes.
Going forward, Penn will ban transgender athletes from women’s teams. The school promises separate locker rooms and bathrooms for biological women only. University leaders say they must follow federal rules. But they claim they still care about all students’ feelings.
This decision shows common sense finally won. Biological women were losing opportunities to transgender athletes with physical advantages. Penn’s female swimmers suffered in silence for too long. Now fairness is restored in women’s sports.
The real blame lies with groups like the NCAA and Ivy League. They created unfair rules that hurt female athletes. These groups ignored science and common sense. They let men compete against women and called it progress. That was always wrong.
Lia Thomas followed the old rules, but the rules were flawed. She shouldn’t be the only one paying the price. The coaches and officials who allowed this injustice should face consequences too. They put winning ahead of fairness for female athletes.
This victory proves conservatives will keep fighting for women’s rights. We must protect women’s sports from radical gender ideology. Every school in America should follow Penn’s example. Women deserve a level playing field.
