Episode notes
UPenn Title IX Reversal
- UPenn reversed its Title IX policy to bar male athletes from women's sports and restore female athletes’ records.
- The change emphasizes biology-based sex definitions rather than transgender identity for sports participation.

- Early 2017 research found no direct evidence trans women have an athletic advantage due to lack of studies.
- This lack was because the obvious biological male advantage was assumed, so no one studied it.

- Many physical traits giving male advantage remain largely unaffected by hormone therapy.
