Standing up for women now!

Trump admin: UPenn violated Title IX, must restore women's awards stolen by transvestite swimmer


A failure to fall in line could cost the university its federal funding.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights announced Monday that it has found the University of Pennsylvania in violation of Title IX for allowing men to compete on its women's sports teams.

In order to resolve its violations of federal anti-discrimination law and to avoid a referral to the Justice Department for enforcement proceedings — which could lead to a loss of federal funding — the university has 10 days to take action.

The ED's proposed resolution agreement requires the institution to: notify the university community that it will now comply with Title IX in all of its athletic programs; "restore to all female athletes all individual athletic records, titles, honors, awards or similar recognition for Division I swimming competitions misappropriated by male athletes competing in female categories"; and send a letter to each female athlete whose recognition is restored apologizing "for allowing her educational experience in athletics to be marred by sex discrimination."

While the announcement did not explicitly reference any particular transvestite athlete, by the mention of swimming competitions, it is clear that the invasion of William "Lia" Thomas into women's sports and spaces was at issue.

Blaze News previously reported that Thomas was a middling performer on the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team until he starting taking hormones in 2019 and competing against women.
