The Department of Education is pressuring the University of Pennsylvania to reassign swimming awards from trans women athletes and apologize to cisgender women. This demand is part of a civil rights probe that determined Penn violated Title IX by allowing trans athletes to compete in women's sports. The university faces consequences, including loss of federal funding, if it does not comply. This scenario raises concerns among experts regarding the implications of Title IX interpretations under a potential second Trump administration, signifying a more aggressive approach to regulating trans participation in athletics.
The Department of Education's demands signal a possible shift towards enforcing Title IX to align with an anti-trans agenda under the Trump administration.
Experts suggest that Penn's case could set a precedent for how Title IX is used, further complicating the integration of trans athletes in collegiate sports.
