💨 Abstract
The University of Pennsylvania agreed to banned transgender women from its women’s sports teams to settle a federal civil rights case. The case involved Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who won a Division I title in 2022 and sparked controversy. Penn must reverse Thomas’s records, trophy honors, and offer personalized apology letters to affected competitors. Additionally, the Education Department mandates "biology-based" definitions of male and female, and UPenn must publicize its policy.
