Story summary
- The University of Pennsylvania has decided to bar transgender athletes from competing on female sports teams, a move that erases records set by Lia Thomas. This decision follows a federal agreement and echoes the Trump administration's stance on transgender participation in women's sports. UPenn will now define male and female based on biology and extend apologies to impacted female athletes.
