Trans Erasure: The University of Pennsylvania Agrees to No Longer Allow Men in Women's Sports and to Expunge All of Will "Lia" Thomas's Fake Records

We're finally getting that much-promised "trans erasure" that extremists have been screaming about for ten years and it's beautiful.

The University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of Education announced a deal on Tuesday that will strip Lia Thomas of the swimmer's records and titles.
Thomas, who is the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division 1 title, last competed for Penn in 2021-22, setting program records in the 100, 200, and 500 freestyle races and winning a national title in the 500 freestyle. However, moving forward, those accomplishments will be updated and marked with an asterisk in the official record books.
Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation into Lia Thomas, claiming the swimmer competed at a heightened advantage over other swimmers. The situation, which is part of the Trump administration's investigation into transgender athletes in women's sports, came to a close on Tuesday when the Department of Education and Penn came to an agreement.
As part of the deal, Penn will restore records that Thomas broke to their original holders and send personal apologies to those swimmers and any swimmers who lost to Thomas. Additionally, the Department of Education said Penn now must "not allow males to compete in female athletic programs" while using "biology-based" definitions of male and female athletes moving forward.
"While Penn's policies during the 2021-2022 swim season were in accordance with NCAA eligibility rules at the time, we acknowledge that some student-athletes were disadvantaged by these rules," J. Larry Jameson, Penn president, said in a statement, via ESPN. "We recognize this and will apologize to those who experienced a competitive disadvantage or experienced anxiety because of the policies in effect at the time."

The trans extremists could have gone the path of just seeking and accepting a compromise accommodation. Instead, they insisted on complete and utter humiliation of their opponents, going scorched earth on anyone who dared question whether it's fair or even safe to allow men to dominate girls in their own sports divisions.

Having rejected compromise and accommodation in favor of humiliation of their opponents and unconditional surrender, the trans movement will now suffer the same terms in their defeat.

And now on to the true enemies, the insane woke falsely-"educated" class of jihadi wine-moms and fake intellectuals fomenting social revolution and civil war just because they can't get over having lost a couple of elections. (Well, they lost three, but were credited as "winning" the presidency in one loss.)

AMAZING! Education Secretary Linda McMahon announces that @Penn will be sending personal apologies to EVERY female athlete who was forced to compete against a male.

This is what winning looks likepic.twitter.com/PVeHuZu7QG

The Trump administration may cut off federal funding to hospitals that provide gender-related treatments to children and teens.
Nine major children's hospitals recently received letters from federal officials seeking information about procedures such as hormone therapy, puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgeries, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who now leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the goal is to protect children from "life-altering and experimental procedures."
"CMS has warned hospitals and state Medicaid programs about these dangers - and is taking regulatory enforcement actions," Oz said.

11 The Trans lobby greatly overestimated their appeal and influence in the culture.

My take - biggest rule in therapy is that you NEVER NEVER reinforce a patient's delusions. To me this was a double problem. Their delusions were reinforced, and then their delusions of popularity were similarly reinforced.

I'll just also say that they are still people who really need help, but have been used by cynical power players for their own ends. I think many of them have irreparable damage now.

For a variety of reasons, Americans did not like heavy seasoning in foods for a long while. Some cannot taste it, others cannot abide it, and Campbells, as a mass product like McDonalds, guaranteed edibility at a low cost that suited people that simply wanted a quick and cheap meal. Nowadays, due to labor costs, that is no longer true even at fast food restaurants but Campbell's soup still is cheap enough where a meal using it costs two bucks or less.

That is all some people can afford rather than eating out all the time. Ditto for ramen noodles, etc.

He followed the rules the school had in place at the time, stupid as they were. And, as you say, the school not only promoted it, they shut down anyone who questioned it, and threatened the girls on the team.

So why does the school get to say "oops, nevermind, we're moving on. We'll just erase this piece of history".

The girls still didn't get their win (at the time), and this mentally unwell 21 year old guy (who clearly was being used as a pawn in the culture wars) loses his win, the school gets to pretend none of this happened, and what are we left with?

The whole thing is just ... unpleasant all around.

90 For those interested from the previous thread, Leo and Giselle dated until 2005, she met Tom Brady in 2006. She wore a dress to the Met Gala that Leo's current girlfriend wore to the Bezos wedding over the weekend. (awkward!) And Leo's current flame utterly shredded the dress and ruined it.

Who do you think wore it better? Giselle is smoking in it, in my mind it's not even a competition.

Also, I was like hey, if you're at a lingerie/loungewear themed wedding party, and are ruining an expensive dress, just take it off! You're a model, noone will care if you're in underwear! But then I probably realized she's not wearing any underwear either. Celeb problems I will never have!

But is the taste any different? Campbells was always bland as fuck. I know; for some reason my dad loved their tomato soup. I never understood why he did. Tasted like water to me.

Many brands that have to appeal to a huge customer base are bland. Honda Accords are pretty bland but they are among the best selling cars. Lambo Revueltos are wild and expensive and sell in very small numbers.

But maybe Campbells did change the recipe. I don't know.

- Child sex changes
- Illegal immigrant gang members
- Welfare cheats
- The Mullahs
- Rioters

Trump needs to come out against puppy beating. He gave them an opening when he outlawed military experiments on dogs and cats, but they didn't take the bait.

BREAKING: The 11th Circuit, 2-1, holds that a trans woman has *not* shown that Florida’s law banning her from using her proper pronouns likely violates the First Amendment. The appeals court reverses the district court.

(Katie Wood, a transwoman teacher in Florida, was barred under new state law from using the titles Mrs., Ms. or Miss, or using personal female pronouns, when addressing students on duty lol)

@whatlawfoxsays.bsky.social

sad to see this. The law is atrocious animus, as there is no basis other than animus to force workplace misgendering like this. But the claim at issue here was a 1A claim, which is trickier - still the ct gets it wrong.

That's not really what the decision said. It was another injunction barring Trump from refusing to consider any asylum requests at all. Trump will appeal it.

The problem is that asylum requests are built into immigration law as set down by Congress. I'm not sure a president can say "well I don't care, I'm not doing it" -- although of course Obama and Biden did that without consequence.

I think the workaround for this is to allow asylum claims to be made, but just deny them all. Let them rot in Mexico during that time. Remain in Mexico was upheld, IIRC.

315 The problem is that asylum requests are built into immigration law as set down by Congress. I'm not sure a president can say "well I don't care, I'm not doing it" -- although of course Obama and Biden did that without consequence.

I think the workaround for this is to allow asylum claims to be made, but just deny them all. Let them rot in Mexico during that time. Remain in Mexico was upheld, IIRC.
Posted by: Elric The (One and Only) Blade at July 02, 2025 03:07 PM (iFTx/)

Asylum requests have specific requirements on international law (and ours I guess). You can't live in Nebraska and declare asylum.

You have to stop in the first country outside your native region. No shopping. In that first country, you have to go to the embassy and wait there for it to be granted.

If we are the first country, you have a few border points where you can go apply for asylum. After that you still need to remain outside the US for it to be granted.

The problem with food packaging is that canning, freezing, etc. kill a lot of pathogens that 'fresh' food can serve as carriers for. Chipotle is an example from the restaurant world. If you notice, a lot of recall notices are on these newer heat and eat refrigerated items from supermarkets because certain actions make it easier for pathogens to grow. Same thing as uncured meats, etc.

He was convicted of violating the Mann Act for bringing prostitutes over state lines. But that's a broad interpretation of the Act. It was designed to combat forced prostitution and sex trafficking.

I personally think Massie is about as popular as the plague with his other Congress critters. He is probably reporting about grumblings he is hearing in the GOP cloakroom but all will become apparent when it actually gets down to voting time for the rules cmte and what rule it puts the Senate version under as far as amendments etc.

There is a reason that binary outcomes can force an issue because the choice is the lesser of all evils. So a crap sandwich with condiments usually wins versus a plain crap sandwich. Also something usually beats nothing.

Conservative media is about as bad as the regular media in reporting. The truth trickles in while the lies have already gone around the world.

Hair on fire is specifically used as a technique to get clicks and interests but is scarcely a close depiction to reality.

I note that many of the people have no idea that the BBB ends the continuing resolution era since Obama and furthermore puts the House and Senate if passed, on track to do rescission bills and return a new budget under reconciliation next year (two reconciliation bills allowed per two year Congress).

Budgetary processes are easily misunderstood, demagogued, and distorted to a population that never had that stuff taught to them. Likewise, most professors would be at sea with it as the nearest acquaintance most people have with a government budget is a tax bill.

Now that word might have triggered WWIII, but it was doable without using Russian nukes and launchers we could not maintain easily.

They didn't leave "transgender" movement behind. It is still going full speed ahead in Europe and in the USA. In fact, the overall movement already has won. "Gender identity" is a legally protected characteristic by the US federal government, which all businesses have to follow.

Every single company's "harassment" training covers this and makes clear that anyone who "identifies" as anything, especially a "transgender" is to be respected, including and especially men who want to use women's bathrooms.

Until/unless that law is changed, the "transgender" movement has already won. And as you say, the left never stops. They may get less loud about issues, but they never stop working to get their policies approved behind the scenes, thanks to their successful Long March through the Institutions.

That's what everyone said about same-sex "marriage". And the left kept pushing it until the majority finally gave up and went along with it.

That is what the left does for every single thing. They never stop. They never relent.

25 years ago, everyone laughed off the idea of same-sex "marriage"; gay "Pride"; same-sex adoption; promoting, celebrating and legally protecting "transgenders"; "gender identity", "pronouns" and sexually mutilating children for "sex transition".

And yet, here we are. Because the left never gives up and never thinks inconvenient things like popular opinion and elections will prevent them from getting what they want. And they've been right for decades now.

Posted by: Kindltot at July 02, 2025 02:27 PM

Riley Gaines never lost to "Lia" Thomas. She finished in a 5th place tie with him.

Riley Gaines and Lia Thomas competed against each other in the 2022 NCAA Women's Swimming Championships, specifically in the 200-yard freestyle event, where they tied for fifth place.

There is no definitive record from the provided sources indicating any races where Riley Gaines directly lost to Lia Thomas, meaning Thomas placed ahead of Gaines in a final result. The tie in the 200-yard freestyle is the most prominent instance noted, and other sources suggest this was the only significant competitive encounter between the two. Therefore, based on available information, Riley Gaines did not lose any races outright to Lia Thomas; they tied in one known event.

Pretty sure that he is legally protected by the US federal government to do that perversion. Since "gender identity" is a protected characteristic.

This was pointed out to us in our annual "harassment training" where they specifically stated that we were legally forced to respect someone's "preferred pronouns" as well as respect their choice of bathroom they want to use.

Unless/until that law is changed, this nonsense will continue. And no one in DC has the will to push and vote to change the law. So this insanity will continue.
