Lia Thomas Stripped Of Titles

Lia Thomas Stripped Of Titles

Make no mistake, if Kamala Harris had won the presidential election, the University of Pennsylvania would not be stripping Lia Thomas of his swimming medals and issuing apologies to the female swimmers who had to share a locker room and honors with Penis Person during the 2022 swim season.

Nope, in a Harris administration, Thomas would have been a guest of honor at whatever degenerate pride events the White House would have staged on the lawn in June. 

More topless trans exhibitionists? Hey, why not! Twerking drag queens? Sure, Kamala would giggle and dance with them! Pride flags hanging above the Stars and Stripes? Of course!

Fortunately, we were spared that repulsive tableaux this year. In fact, the Trump administration ignored pride month and instead commemorated the 53rd anniversary of Title IX by declaring June Title IX Month. 

My, how things have changed.

For the better.

Unfortunately, it took UPenn two and a half years to do the right thing.

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.

The agreement comes as part of the Trump administration’s broader restrictions on transgender people, as it steps up its efforts to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports nationwide and serving in the military.

Thomas, a UPenn graduate, won the 2022 NCAA championship in the women’s 500-yard freestyle. Thomas is a transgender woman  MAN pretending to be a woman.

Ooops. There you go, CNN, lying to the public again. No worries. I fixed it for you.

The White House in March cut off $175 million in federal funds for Penn related to the transgender athlete issue. It’s not clear whether that money will be restored.

UPenn also agreed to issue a statement specifying that it “will adopt biology-based definitions for the words ‘male’ and ‘female’ pursuant to Title IX” and consistent with two executive orders on transgender athletes from President Donald Trump, according to the Department of Education.

The school says it will also apologize to female student athletes who lost to Thomas during the 2021-2022 swim season.

President Trump issued an executive order in February banning males from female sports, no matter how long their hair, how big their implants or how much lipstick they slather on.

Still, Penn didn’t budge. 

The Department of Education got Penn’s attention when it announced that the university would lose $175 million in federal funds if it didn’t comply with Title IX.

Shout out to Riley Gaines, who tied with Lia Thomas in the NCAA championships, but was told to let Lia hold the trophy.

Gaines’ crusade to get men out of women’s sports brought us to this day. Never underestimate the determination of a female athlete who got nudged off the podium by a male competitor.

Here’s to Riley and all the other brave female athletes who stood up against wokeness and the unfairness of men competing in women’s sports. They aren’t transphobes or bigots.

They’re strong women.
