Trans swimmer Lia Thomas' wins will be WIPED and runners-up moved to first place after Penn bowed to Trump crackdown
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 1, 2025 | Alex Raskin

The University of Pennsylvania has bowed to Donald Trump's Department of Education (DOE) by agreeing to resolve alleged Title IX violations over transgender former Quakers swimmer Lia Thomas.

The DOE announced Tuesday that Penn is adopting strict definitions for male and female competitors under White House guidelines and will erase Thomas from the school's record books. Furthermore, swimmers impacted by Thomas' inclusion in women's NCAA competitions will receive a personal apology from Penn and be retroactively awarded records and titles.

The Ivy League institution's decision comes after the Trump administration suspended $175 million in federal funding to Penn – money that had been earmarked and funded through the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services.

'Penn remains committed to fostering a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and open to all students, faculty, and staff,' University of Pennsylvania president J. Larry Jameson said in a statement. 'I share this commitment, just as I remain dedicated to preserving and advancing the University’s vital and enduring mission. We have now brought to a close an investigation that, if unresolved, could have had significant and lasting implications for the University of Pennsylvania.'

Thomas won a national title as a woman in the 500 free while tying for fifth in the 200 free at the 2022 NCAA Finals with Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who has since become the face of the movement to ban trans athletes from female sports.

The NCAA previously allowed each sports to govern transgender inclusion, generally deferring to national governing bodies or International Olympic criteria.

“Victory for Team Commonsense: Woman Wins Huge Settlement After Calling Out Transgender Insanity”

https://redstate.com/katie-jerkovich/2025/07/01/victory-for-team-commonsense-woman-wins-huge-settlement-after-calling-out-transgender-insanity-n2191135

“Chalk up another win for team commonsense after 82-year-old Julie Jaman won a $65,000 settlement because she refused to be quiet about a man being in her women’s locker room and was subsequently banned from using her local YMCA pool in Washington.

In a statement from the Center for American Liberty, the non-profit group that defends the civil liberties of Americans, said Jaman’s settlement was a “major victory for free speech and civil liberties.”

“Julie Jaman has reached a $65,000 settlement in her lawsuit against the City of Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula YMCA after being permanently banned from the Mountain View Pool for expressing concerns about men in the women’s locker room,” the statement read. “

It took a while and Trump helped, but LIA THOMAS forced Penn to deal with their sickening policy of forcing women to compete against men.

While Thomas doesn’t deserve any athletic trophies, perhaps he is deserving of a Women’s Rights trophy...since the policy is now REVOKED, in large part due to what he did.

Faced with the loss of millions of federal dollars, the mealy-mouthed president who formerly demanded the use of “chosen pronouns”, when asked how this would affect “Lia” replied:

“Screw HIM!”

Small consolation to those whose rightful moment in the Sun was stolen by the pretender.

Well, that’s great as great as far as it goes but I want to see all if the PSU staff, faculty and administrators that promoted this bullshit bear some PERSONAL responsibility. And I want it to hurt badly. That’s the only way to put an end to this crap.
