evidence: Lia Thomas, a 2022 Penn graduate and transgender swimmer, has lost her challenge against World Aquatics’ ban that prohibited transgender women who have gone through any part of male puberty from competing in women's aquatics. [...] "The CAS decision is deeply disappointing," Thomas said in a statement through her legal team. "Blanket bans preventing trans women from competing are discriminatory and deprive us of valuable athletic opportunities that are central to our identities. The CAS decision should be seen as a call to action to all trans women athletes to continue to fight for our dignity and human rights." [...] 2022 graduate and Thomas’ former Red and Blue teammate Paula Scanlan — who has also built an activism career out of her experience with Thomas — also reacted on X, writing, "Good. This shouldn’t have even been a case. Men don’t belong in any women’s sports."
