The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to apologize for allowing notorious male swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on a female swim team. The college has also promised to restore titles to female athletes that were misappropriated by males.
Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.
Breitbart has the story:
In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Education announced that the university had entered into a “Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).”
The Department of Education explained that UPenn would “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”
UPenn will also “send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,” and “issue a public statement” to the university’s community explaining that it will “comply with Title IX” and will not be allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.
UPenn first achieved national infamy years ago when it allowed Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, to join its swim team. IFA covered Thomas, who proceeded to dominate the NCAA Women’s Championships.
UPenn’s latest move follows pressure from the Trump administration, especially the Department of Education (DoEd). Breitbart notes that the DoEd in March paused nearly $200 million in funding to UPenn over its trans policies. President Trump also signed an executive order in February to protect women’s sports.
Intercessors, this is an answer to our prayers. We have prayed about UPenn, Thomas, and the inclusion of men in women’s sports for years. Now the Lord is answering our prayers through the efforts of the Trump administration!

Our Heavenly Father. We thank you for the victories that are taking place
at schools who allow transgender men in Women’s sports. The whole point
of Title IX was to allow all WOMEN to compete in Women’s sports, not compete
with a confused male who thinks he’s a women and beating women or even
hurting them. Men are made differently than women and should never be
allowed to compete against them.
Why don’t they accept the fact that God made them the way they are, not
saying to God “I don’t like that you made me a male so now I am going to be
a female today.” It’s such an evil Anti-Christ spirit that takes over.
We all need to pray for the people that are caught up in the lies of LGBTQ
and pray for them to get out of this ungodly living. God made us the way
we are and they need to stop fighting God and accept the way they are
and be vessels of God instead of the evil one.
Lord I pray for all people who deal with this. It goes against the Bible and
against God. Thank you for all the activist women who have had to deal with
this and are now fighting for their rights to make this known to the World.
In Jesus Name.
Amen and Amen!!
Thank you, Father, for this victory. I pray you would work in all the universities to see the foolishness and wickedness of transgenderism. And I pray that you would touch many hearts to receive Jesus and realize his truth is the only truth. Heal many who have taken this road.
Very encouraging. To God goes the glory. In Jesus’ name.
Thank you Lord for answering our prayers!
I believe this is definitely a win and an answer to prayer, but now I feel compelled to pray for the individual, “Lia Thomas.” I feel this could very negatively impact them and that we need to pray against self-harm and pray for God’s grace and power to meet this person in a mighty and redemptive way.
Thank you for this prayer. It is important to remember what this might mean in lives today.
This is good news, but I believe their apology to be shallow and only given to get the money. I would like to see all who supported their evil of allowing men in women’s sports to resign or be fired. They failed those women exposed to the evil of men in women’s sports and can not be trusted with the responsibility of protecting women’s sports from any future evils. Thank you God I trust in you 🙏😇🙏
Just the statement “allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports” is a complete contradiction in terms!
Allowing biological males into women’s sports was a death knell for the entire sport. Lord, you are our God;
we will exalt you, thank you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done this wonderful thing. I will tell everyone of your wonderful deed for the women swimmers! Thank you for this great blessing. Thank you for a president like President Trump and for Intercessors of America. Let great blessings flow for them. All in your son’s name of Jesus. And I agree with the prayers posted here in Jesus name. Matthew 18:19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Father God, we thank You for hearing our prayers and restoring righteousness and fairness to our women’s athletics. We pray that more school administrators will have Devine discernment and implement Biblical principles to their policies and academic teachings. You said we are to give thanks in all things. We give thanks that this is being used to remove the scales off of eyes causing many to begin to view life through a Biblical lens. We praise You Lord and give You glory for Your goodness, Grace and faithfulness to Your Word.
In Jesus Name
Trans women need to compete against themselves.
Common sense has come to University of PA.
We are thankful, Lord, for the reversal of these unGodly policies, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, even though the motive may be less than righteous. They can never truly restore what was stolen from the young women affected by these policies, however we ask that You minister to them and restore to them what the “locusts ate”. Help them to forgive, so that it does not continue stealing from them. May revival and awakening fires burn brightly across our campuses.
Father we praise You for this decision even though UPENN did it for the money. We intercede for these directors that they be part of a revival that will sweep that school !!!
In our savior Jesus name we pray … Hallelujah !!!
