Abstract

Harvard University is facing a lawsuit from three former University of Pennsylvania female swimmers who allege discrimination after a transgender teammate, Lia Thomas, won races in the Ivy League championship in 2022. The lawsuit claims that Harvard, Penn, the NCAA, and the Ivy League violated federal law by allowing Thomas, a transgender swimmer, to compete in women's races. This case has sparked controversy and legal battles over transgender eligibility policies in sports, with President Donald Trump also taking action to restrict transgender women from participating in female sports.
