02 Jul 2025

Description

Reactions of female college swimmers and advocates to the news that Lia Thomas, a trans-identifying male swimmer, had his titles stripped and that the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) agreed to apologize for allowing him to compete in women's sports. This development is presented as a victory for women's sports and a fulfillment of promises made by the Trump administration regarding Title IX. Former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan expressed gratitude and emotion, stating this outcome was "exactly what I voted for." Similarly, Riley Gaines, another prominent female sports advocate, lauded the agreement as a "historic display" of the administration's commitment to women's equality. The article highlights widespread positive reactions on social media and positions this event as a significant turning point in the debate over transgender athletes in women's sports.Samuel Carter’s BooksSamuel Carter’s Free Audiobooks Get full access to Samuel Carter's Substack at therealsamuelcarter.substack.com/subscribe
