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.

    Your whole take is so much transphobic bullshit.

    Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, I guess. I feel I’ve done everything possible to disprove that, and at this point if you still hold that position than nothing can change your mind because you’re reacting emotionally to the problem, and that’s never–not once in the history of mankind–solved any of our problems.

      You have done nothing to disprove that. Read the paradox of tolerance. Look up some actual science on trans women’s body mass and testosterone levels. And quit arguing that it’s okay for intolerant folks to deny other people their rights.

      This is no different than racial segregation. And you twisted the racial segregation argument around to try and make your point.

      Yeah whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night… okay

      Yet everyone on here is telling you that you’re wrong. And you know, when I look around and realize that everybody around me is disagreeing, I look in the mirror and realize oh maybe I’m the one being an asshole
