In a significant move, the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports teams, effectively resolving the civil rights case centered around swimmer Lia Thomas. This decision comes after the university reached a compliance deal with the Trump administration and will see Thomas’ records and titles revoked. Critics of the policy argue that it undermines the rights of transgender athletes, while supporters claim it is a necessary step to protect women’s sports. The situation has sparked widespread debate surrounding Title IX regulations and the treatment of transgender individuals in athletics.
