Summary

The Trump administration has frozen $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over its policies allowing trans women to compete in women’s sports.

A senior official said this is “just a taste” of further action, with UPenn at risk of losing all federal funding due to a Title IX investigation.

Trump signed an executive order on February 5 banning trans women from women’s sports, citing fairness and safety concerns.

Advocacy groups are challenging the move, arguing it discriminates against trans athletes.

    Its a shitty deal, sure. But what if you are a born a woman, you spend all those years training to be a professional athlete, then some man comes along (identifying as a woman) and crushes all your records by being so much stronger there is no way you can ever reach that level

    The physical differences between genders dont disappear just because you identify as the other gender. You will always be stronger as a physical man athlete.

    That is why its very unfair and 100% must not be allowed.

    A separate trans level of the sports would be much more appropriate.
