On Monday, the US Department of Education Civil Rights Office decided that the University of Pennsylvania allowed a transgender woman to compete in the women’s swimming team and violated the title IX against gender discrimination.
The university “men to compete in women’s athletics and occupy sincere facilities only for women, was found to have rejected equal opportunities.”
Lia Thomas, a transsexual woman, won the 2022 NCAA championship in 500 women’s free style. The government did not specify Thomas with the name of Monday.
The Ministry of Education gave Penn 10 days to delete Thomas’ records. The school was also ordered to prohibit transgender athletes from women’s teams and to give an apology to women athletes who were “overshadowed by sex discrimination in athletics).
Penn said that he had complied with all Ivy League and NCAA rules that apply to participation in women’s sports.
Mayor Donald Trump issued a manager’s order on February 5, “Keeping men from women’s sports” and said that the administration will stop federal funds to secondary and post -secondary institutions that allow the management to compete in girls or women’s teams.
The management also launched the IX investigations at Penn, San Jose State (reported to be a transsexual player in the women’s volleyball team last season) and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. Maine, including the Ministry of Justice, followed a series of other relevant action to stop the participation of Maine in girls and women’s sports.
In March, the White House cut federal funds of $ 175 million for Penn with the transgender athlete problem.
