Transgender swimming champion Lia Thomas will be stripped of past University of Pennsylvania Division I swimming titles after the Trump administration put pressure on the school to award the titles to competitors who were born female.
The university will also issue formal apologies to every biological female competitor who lost out to a biological male, following an investigation by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which found UPenn violated Title IX by “allowing a male to compete in female athletic programs and occupy female-only intimate facilities.”
“Today’s resolution agreement with UPenn is yet another example of the Trump effect in action.

Good.
Amen!
I bet they think this will shield them from expensive lawsuits even though I imagine they believe they did nothing wrong.
This is just delicious, to see the arrogant smug Ivy League a—holes have to eat crow and retrench.
Good, although I shudder at seeing the words “Lia Thomas” and “stripped” in the same headline.
They didn’t “bend the knee to Trump”, they recognized reality and that their charade was over.
Nobody’s buying the fake gender game any more.
Ick. Better have those titles bleached and sanitized and put through an autoclave.
Work and results underway. Not just promises!
They wouldn’t have had to bend the knee if they’d simply honored the fact that a woman is a woman by birth and a man is a man by birth. You can’t change your sex. You can wear all the womens’ clothes you want, but you’ll never be able to change your chromosomes that tell us what sex you really are. They totally disrespected all female athletes to cater to one a-hole nut job.
IT’S A WAR AGAINST MEN!.........or women....... or...or something.
In for the WIN!!
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Thus fumed the Hebrew prophet millennia ago (Isaiah 5:20).
As they start acting normal again.
“No soup for you.”
The administrators should be required to apologize to the world for being stupid and lose the jobs.
He has already made the money by what he did, so he probably doesn’t really care too much.
I am so tired of this "transgender" nonsense.
