The funding freeze relates to University of Pennsylvania policies on allowing trans women to compete in women's sports.

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 such a complex issue that scientists have already answered it multiple times, and that no trans athlete is dominating their sport as further proof.

    But we cant let that get in the way of trying to put on a big show of fake and reasonable sounding concern trolling about the issue just like the right wingers do.
