Parents are demanding the NCAA do something to ensure female athletes have "protected and equitable" sports competitions as transgender competitors continue to dominate women's leagues

For years average people—parents, students, commentators, nearly everyone—have been afraid to speak out against the rapidly growing and relentless march of transgender ideology through much of our institutions.

That awful status quo seems to be shifting a bit in the wake of transgender athlete Lia Thomas's dominance of female swimming at UPenn: First a group of female athletes spoke out against that arrangement, and now a group of parents are doing the same:

Parents of the University of Pennsylvania women's swim team are demanding the NCAA change rules that have permitted transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to dominate the competition, declaring 'at stake here is the integrity of women's sports,' DailyMail.com has learned.

The parents of about 10 swimmers sent a letter last week to the NCAA and forwarded it to the Ivy League and University of Pennsylvania officials.

'At stake here is the integrity of women's sports,' they wrote in the letter obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. 'The precedent being set – one in which women do not have a protected and equitable space to compete – is a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. What are the boundaries? How is this in line with the NCAA's commitment to providing a fair environment for student-athletes?

'It is the responsibility of the NCAA to address the matter with an official statement,' the parents continue. 'As the governing body, it is unfair and irresponsible to leave the onus on Lia, Lia's teammates, Lia's coaches, UPenn athletics and the Ivy League. And it is unfair and irresponsible to Lia to allow the media to dictate the narrative without the participation of the NCAA.'

Welp:

This is a very big deal. And it may very well be a sign of a turning tide in the transgender wars. Stay tuned.
