UPenn Uses Sneaky Loophole to Give Lia Thomas Credit For ‘Breaking Records’ in Women’s Swimming
UPenn is still celebrating transgender (bio male) swimmer Lia Thomas after the Trump Department of Education forced the university to agree to stripping him of his titles.
The university is still giving Lia Thomas credit for shattering records on its website.
According to the Daily Mail: ‘NOTE: Competing under eligibility rules in effect at the time, Lia Thomas set program records in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle during the 2021-22 season’.
Lia Thomas, a transgender UPenn swimmer who competed for two full seasons as a man before ‘transitioning’ into a female, shattered women’s records in Akron, Ohio in 2021.
Thomas also finished one of the races 38 seconds ahead of the woman who finished in second place.
The University of Pennsylvania has FINALLY apologized for letting men, like "Lia" Thomas, compete in women’s sports.
This should have NEVER happened in the first place…
It's time for other universities and states to fall in line. pic.twitter.com/YygT54G8SM

Female UPenn swimmers were reportedly in tears after Lia Thomas crushed them in a 2022 swim meet.
The girls on the swim team were in tears and according to sources who spoke to OutKick, Thomas was bragging about his big win.
“That was so easy, I was cruising,” Lia Thomas allegedly said after the 200 freestyle.
The source said Thomas was disappointed with his time after the 500 race, but boasted to his female teammates, “At least I’m still No. 1 in the country.”
According to teammates, Lia Thomas became very arrogant and claimed to be the “Jackie Robinson of trans sports,” the first black baseball player to play in Major League Baseball.
UPenn will also be sending independent apologies to every female athlete who was forced to compete against a man.
