TRANS MANIA

The troubled world of trans sports and Trump’s vow to stop it.

On February 5, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” banning biological males from competing in female athletics. This bold move delivers on his promise to protect women’s sports from unfair competition, ensuring girls and women get the level playing field they deserve. Today, President Trump took it a step further.

According to a Wall Street Journal article titled “Trump Threatens to Pull Funding From UPenn Over Transgender Swimmer,” the president is threatening to cut federal dollars from the University of Pennsylvania unless they stop letting biological males compete in women’s sports.

The issue centers on Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who dominated NCAA women’s swimming in 2022. Trump calls it unfair and unsafe, and he’s absolutely correct. UPenn has been cashing in on taxpayer money while allowing men—born with male bodies and male strength—to take over women’s competitions. The Left screams “discrimination,” but that’s a distraction. This is about protecting women’s sports, plain and simple. Trump sees a man with a physical edge winning against girls, and he’s not buying the progressive line that biology doesn’t count. He’s right to put UPenn on notice: shape up or lose the funds. Women fought for their place in athletics, and they shouldn’t lose it to this madness.

How did we end up here?

The story goes back decades, starting with Renee Richards. Born Richard Raskind, Richards transitioned in the 1970s and sued to play in the women’s U.S. Open tennis tournament in 1977. She won the case, opening a door most didn’t notice at the time. It stayed quiet until 2004, when the International Olympic Committee set a policy allowing transgender athletes to compete after surgery and two years of hormone therapy. That sounded strict, but it was just the beginning. By 2015, the IOC loosened the rules—no surgery required, just one year of testosterone suppression. That decision unleashed a wave of change. Men with years of male physical development—bigger bones, greater muscle mass—began entering women’s divisions, and the advantages were obvious from the start.

Who’s behind this shift?

Look at groups like the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD, partnered with academics like Dr. Joanna Harper. Harper, a transgender athlete herself, started advising sports organizations like the IOC around 2015. She argued that lowering testosterone levels erases the male edge. The science doesn’t back her up—a 2021 British Journal of Sports Medicine study found transgender women (a.k.a. men) retain up to 20% more strength even after years of hormone treatment. Yet her ideas stuck, fueled by activist pressure. HRC spent over $45 million by 2023 pushing this agenda, turning a small issue into a cultural tidal wave. Social media amplified every story, politicians caved to avoid backlash, and sports bodies bent over backward to look “inclusive.”

The result? Laurel Hubbard — a biological male — competed as a male weightlifter before transitioning. Hubbard then competed in women’s weightlifting at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and dominated. And let’s not forget, Lia Thomas — born William Thomas in Texas — swept NCAA swimming titles in 2022. Today, high school girls face boys identifying as girls on their teams, and dissenters get branded as haters.

The numbers tell a brutal story. 

Transgender participation is growing fast. The NCAA reported fewer than 40 transgender athletes in 2023, but posts reports suggest that figure has doubled or tripled by 2025 as policies relaxed. In high schools, over 30 states grappled with this by 2023, and where bans haven’t passed, participation is climbing.

A UN report from October 2024 revealed transgender athletes had won nearly 900 medals in women’s events across 29 sports by March 2024. Reports from early 2025 claim it’s now over 1,000—SheWon.org reports more than 1,000 medals lost by female athletes in 40 sports by January.

Girls are losing more than medals—scholarships are slipping away. The UN tied those 900+ medal losses to over 600 female athletes missing college recruitment chances. In Connecticut, two transgender girls took 15 state track titles from 2017 to 2019, sidelining female runners who needed those wins for funding. The NCAA offers 180,000 scholarships yearly; if just 1% shift—1,800 girls—gets impacted, that’s a crisis. Pro-girl groups on social media, groups like ICONS, estimate dozens, possibly hundreds, of girls have lost scholarships to transgender athletes since 2020. Exact 2025 numbers are starting to roll in, but trust me by the end of the year — if Trump can’t stop this mania — the damage will be mounting.

Injuries are another ugly reality. 

— Social media posts in 2025 highlighted a volleyball game where a transgender’s spike reportedly concussed a female player.

— In 2023, a North Carolina girl was injured by a transgender athlete’s hit, prompting school forfeits.

— A Massachusetts field hockey player lost teeth to a transgender opponent’s shot.

A 2021 study confirms a strength gap—20%—that heightens risks in contact sports. Clearly, these incidents show girls are in harm’s way.

MONEY & BS

Transgenders winning means scholarships—up to $50,000 a year at top schools—and sponsorships, like Lia Thomas’s Nike chatter. HRC and GLAAD pour millions into advocacy, indirectly boosting the trend. The financial upside for winners is real.

TRANS LEAGUES?

A 2023 NCAA survey found 68% of female athletes support a separate category where trans people play against other trans people, but the IOC and NCAA won’t touch it. Activists argue it’s exclusionary—they want competition as their identified gender, not apart. It’s total BS. Truth is, despite the crazy lefties trying to make it sound like the trans advocates are everywhere, they know that nobody will watch a trans league. In addition to the lack of no fans — remember the Bud Lite failure in supporting Dylan Mulvaney. No sponsor will touch such a league. I’d also bet all the tea in China that there aren’t enough trans athletes to make a league of their own. Low numbers, high costs, no sponsor money, and lack of fan base doom the idea.

CONCLUSION

Trump’s UPenn stance isn’t bigotry—it’s justice. Women’s sports, built by decades of struggle, are eroding. Over 1,000 medals gone, scholarships lost, girls injured—all for a 0.6% minority’s “rights”? That’s not fairness; it’s surrender. The activists sold the world a fantasy, and Trump’s calling it out. Cut the funding, fix the rules, save women’s athletics, and get these trans people an hour on the sofa talking with me — I’ll straighten them out.
