A biologically male athlete at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) is smashing NCAA women’s swimming records. Will Thomas competed on the men’s team for three years and is now competing as Lia Thomas on the women’s team for his senior year. Penn press releases are boasting of the wins despite shamefully displacing the true women record holders in their history books. Cases like this are jeopardizing the hopes and dreams of female athletes nationwide.

Courageous female teammates are speaking out to expose the injustice. “Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. Our coach just really likes winning. He’s like most coaches. I think secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do,” one shared during an interview with Outkick. Her plea cannot go unanswered.

2022 will mark the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, a prohibition on sex-based discrimination in any school or education program that receives federal funding. The Biden Administration’s reckless reinterpretation of the law to include sexual orientation and gender identity leaves Penn women swimmers and female athletes across the country sidelined, forced to celebrate a biological male teammate stealing their opportunities in women’s sports.
