The University of Pennsylvania will block transgender athletes from female sports teams and erase the records set by swimmer Lia Thomas as part of an agreement with the federal government, the Department of Education said. Read more: cnn.it/3ZWPgr3

Will everyone have to cow tail to the criminal president? He has been a bully since he was a child. When will people start standing up? The trump family should be ostracized. Such a shame that Penn decided to erase Lia Thomas’s fifth place win. They supported her when she swam. Shame

So if a school caves to magaT bigots, do kids that go there still get 'liberalized' or is that school safe for magaT parents to send their kids now?

What I find interesting in the trans sports stories, which are ONLY posted to drive division which leads to clicks and money, is the other side of the coin. There's supposedly 10 trans athletes in the NCAA. Out of 500,000. But ensuring a level field for FEMALE competitors isn't on the table.

They should be separated in swimming and track. Those are individual sports and men general have a strength advantage.

...and all colleges will teach that concentration camps in the modern era of trump were trump hotels, prisoners were guests, deaths/rapes did not happen, and private corporations who donated to trump were rewarded with billion dollar contracts to build these hundred dollar concentration camps

Sport isn’t fair. Every great sportswoman has rare genetic traits most other women don’t. The only difference is, we can’t point at those traits. But we can point at someone who’s discovered she’s trans.

Not so sure. Obviously there's different body types, strength, endurance etc. But standing out in sports doesn't just happen because of rare genetic traits. It's years and years of training and commitment. This is about testosterone, drugs and fairness. It's transphobic to those looking for that.
jul 1, 2025, 10:22 pm • 1 0 • view
Of course standing out in sports doesn't **just** happen because of rare genetic traits. It also doesn’t just happen if they’re trans.
jul 1, 2025, 10:27 pm • 0 0 • view
True. But higher testosterone levels also impact training. There's roughly 10 NCCA trans athletes. Out of 500,000 male and female athletes. I'm WAY more interested in a level playing field when it comes to sports. No PED's either. The reality? This is a faux-controversy intended to divide.

Deciding to block transgender athletes is one thing, but Thomas set records as a competitor who was following the rules in place at the time. That is garbage.
