Three former members of the University of Pennsylvania swimming team have taken action to expunge the women's swimming records set by transgender former collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas.
Grace Estabrook, Ellen Holmquist and Margot Kaczorowski, sued the university, Harvard University, the NCAA and the Ivy League Council of Presidents over their 'traumatizing' experience sharing a team with Thomas.
They accuse the institutions of violating federal law by allowing Thomas to swim against women and share their locker room facilities during the 2021-22 season.
Thomas is not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday - one day before President Donald Trump officially signed an executive order seeking to keep biological males out of women's sports.
The complaint is also seeking to create a class-action claim on behalf of 206 female athletes who competed in the 2022 Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships, which was hosted by Harvard.
The lawsuit seeks to scrub Thomas's records from the Ivy League, NCAA and Ivy institutions, including Harvard and UPenn, and receive a declaration that the transgender athlete was ineligible to compete.
DailyMail.com has contacted UPenn, Harvard, the NCAA and the Ivy League Council of Presidents for comment.
The plaintiffs argue that allowing the biologically male athlete to compete against women and share a locker room was in violation of Title IX. They claim the experience of competing alongside Thomas left them 'repeatedly emotionally traumatized' by the violation of their privacy.
The lawsuit alleges that female swimmers 'became captive and collateral damage to the Ivy League’s illegal social science experiment.'
It further accuses university administrators pushing pro-trans ideology onto the plaintiffs throughout the process of accepting Thomas onto the team and into the locker room.

You go girls! Real girls created by God!
HER????? LOLOLOL
Future historians should have fun with the “Biden” Administration.
Imagine having a daughter who worked hard as a child to develop the skills to play in college then having that ripped away … they don’t get a do over
Having those records stand is just so unfair :-/
Excellent!
I hope ALL girls sue to,have records set by MEN posing as women expunged from the records! In ALL sports! And may they sue for the emotional damage that was done! Make it so high that future schools that try that crap will think twice before doing so! May the backlash put a damper on such asin8ne attempts in the future
Excellent....and as it should be!!
What I don’t understand is that it fulfills the concept of inclusion. It’s just the opposite.
They need to profusely thank Ms. Riley Gaines who battled against the NCAA pretty much by herself to make this jerk and the whole transgender thing go away.
STOP CALLING HIM A HER!! He’s a HE....not a SHE!
We also need to thank President Trump and everyone who voted for him. None of this would be happening if he had lost.
...His...
(fixed it)
People are increasingly finding the courage to stand up to the trans lunacy. I think we are going to win this cultural battle.
Nice the majority has stood up to this insanity. Now there pendulum swings against this nonsense.
True word!
Yes they do! She is an amazing young woman.
