Three former female athletes at the collegiate level have filed a lawsuit after they were forced to compete against and share a locker room with a trans-identified male athlete.
Grace Estabrook, Ellen Holmquist and Margot Kaczorowski filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts last week against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing trans-identified athlete Lia (Will) Thomas to compete on the women’s swimming team at the school. Estabrook, Holmquist and Kaczorowski were teammates of Thomas’ on the UPenn women’s swimming team.
The complaint is asking a federal judge to issue a ruling declaring that the defendants violated Title IX, which requires schools that receive federal funding to provide equal opportunities for women and girls in education, by allowing Thomas to compete on the women’s swimming team. The National Collegiate Athletics Association, Harvard University and the Ivy League were also named as defendants.
